BRITAIN'S FIRST BETTING SHOP MILLIONAIRE

A William Hill customer who placed a 50p bet on eight horses - the first of which was called Isn't That Lucky and the last, A Dream Come True - has beaten odds of 2,000,000/1 to land the first ever betting shop million pound payout.
The man, who placed his bet in Hill's branch in Thirsk, Yorskhire, has yet to claim his winnings.
'This is the most incredible betting shop payout ever and we are waiting to greet the customer to discover just how he picked out eight winners to make himself a millionaire for less than the cost of a lottery ticket.' said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Supposed to be a long time punter in his 60's. Great stuff. I can imagine Will Hills being quite keen to promote the win!

Always nice to see the bookies get done

Pity the media machine doesn't say "we actually saved nearly half a million due to our limit"

they wave that limit for the odd lucky punter, the publicity is worth more. Limits the liability from scams.
