Mr Whitely had taken advantage of a free promotional entry ticket and arrived at the course by public transport . Intending to have a some small bets and a few drinks with some friends,die hard gamblers would have been dismayed at his ‘method’ of random selection.
Despite odds of 368,639 – 1 he managed to pick all six winners. His selection for the last race was Lupita at 12-1 it looked unlikely she could win however in the last furlong she passed ‘Only Hope’ and created an instant millionaire. The four leaf clover he had taken with him certainly came in handy.
Mr Whitely from Devon admitted he was “shaking like a leaf” during the last race when he realised he had the only qualifying ticket left. Since the win his life has certainly changed , already he has been inundated with requests for interviews and photographs. Partner, Jill, who had received no birthday present from him wisely said “you cant stay mad at a millionaire for long”.
Off on a pre planned holiday to Australia next week
