A punter is €500,000 richer after an incredible €0.50 bet paid off in dream fashion.

The William Hill customer placed a 50p each-way Lucky 31 on five horses running on Saturday.

Not only did all five of the selections win their races but they did so at big odds for a huge payout.

The ambitious bet included Lincoln winner Migration at 18/1, while they also correctly picked Bear Force One at 20/1 at Kempton.

Their final selection was Astral Beau, who obliged at 40/1, and although there was a 45p Rule 4 in the race, his victory in the Listed Doncaster Mile still meant the customer won £441,900. (€500,000)

William Hill's Lee Phelps said: “It’s certainly been a brilliant Saturday for one of our customers, whose 50p each-way Lucky 31 won them over £440k.

“All five of the selections in the bet won, including Migration at 18/1 in the highlight of the day, the Lincoln at Doncaster, and after their final pick, Astral Beau, won well in the next race they were celebrating taking home £441,913.”

Selections:

Vadream (10/1) WON

Migration (18/1) WON

Astral Beau (40/1, 45p R4) WON
