PADDY POWER PRESS RELEASE  

LUCKY RAHENY MAN TURNS €2 INTO €27,000!

(07 November 2011) Lady Luck was smiling on yet another Paddy Power punter this week when his €2 football accumulator bet clicked to net him a whopping €27,061.36.

The regular bettor from Raheny correctly predicted the results in 15 different football games over the weekend at an astonishing 13,500/1! The man, who is in his sixties, must have been sweating while waiting on the result of the last leg on Sunday night. Spurs came painfully close to drawing in the last quarter of their game against Fulham which would instantly have put a big red line through his bet!  

Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power said: “What a result! Our customers’ heart must have been in his mouth watching the deciding game. I’m not sure if he’s a religious man but I imagine a few prayers were said in those last few minutes! What a fantastic early Christmas present!”
