Ramsgate dad earned more than Zlatan Ibrahimovic thanks to races
15:00, 16 January 2017
It was one man's lucky day when he scooped just shy of £87,000.
The anonymous 36-year-old was playing online for just 35 minutes when he walked away with the huge sum.
But he could have had an even bigger fortune of £169,402.45... if he had held his nerve on the six-horse accumulator.
It means he earned more per minute than Manchester United player Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The man, who wishes to remain anonymous, said he is going to use the money to pay off the mortgage and take his wife and two children on holiday to Florida.
William Hill spokesman Jon Ivan-Duke said: "Our lucky punter is celebrating a huge win, but must be regretting his decision not to let the bet roll."
The Lucky Horses:
12.15 Lingfield – Skidby Mill
12.20 Kempton – Fidux
12.25 Punchestown – Edwulf
12.30 Wetherby – Eaton Hill
12.40 Warwick – Celestial Magic
12.50 Lingfield – Fast Play
