A Northumberland man has walked away with a major win on yesterday’s horseracing at Dieppe. The winning punter placed a £2 Lucky 15 bet at William Hill in Cramlington.

And now he has landed a £53,220.20 return on the bet, which involved placing a bet on four selections across 15 separate stakes. The bet was off to a promising start when Register, with odds of 10/1, won the opener.

This was followed by Folly Foot (14/1) and Golden Falls (12/1), and finished off with Astorius (7/1) scoring. This resulted in the punter taking home a £53,220.20 return from a £30 total stake.

William Hill spokesperson, Lee Phelps, said: “It was only on Monday that we were reeling from a £23k racing payout, and we’re here again after another punter pulled off an even more remarkable bet. They’ve managed to turn £30 into over £50k after landing their £2 Lucky 15 on this morning’s action from Dieppe, placed in our Cramlington shop, just north of Newcastle.

“It’s not every day that you head to your local William Hill shop, place an each-way Lucky 15, and walk away with £53,220.20, so we just have to salute this customer. We’ll be hoping there aren’t any more of these big racing winners on the horizon, as we’ve had our fill of them this week!”
