Posh fans were not the only ones celebrating Monday’s 4-1 victory over Carlisle as it helped a Sky Bet punter land £68,497,23 from a £30 bet.
The lucky customer put together a 10-fold accumulator over this week’s Sky Bet Football League action, nailing the final two legs of the punt as Leicester wrapped up the Championship title with a 1-0 win at Bolton while Reading saw off Middlesbrough 2-0 on Tuesday night.Marvin Sordell is certainly owed a drink after his hat-trick saw Charlton come from two goals behind to beat Sheffield Wednesday 3-2.
Fleetwood, Scunthorpe, Chesterfield, Burnley, Blackburn and Nottingham Forest also did the business to see home the ambitious accumulator with the Football League sponsor, undoubtedly prompting wild celebrations.
Sky Bet’s Head of Football Trading Paul Wiggins said: “We have to take our hats off to such an impressive acca and it’s fair to say the punter in question will be pretty popular down his local this week!”
