Nov 24,2021 7:04 am

A grandfather scored a Big Win after taking home £2,700 from a 3p bet.

Janus Wagonback, 85, put his small stake on a 10-match accumulator at a bookmaker in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire.

The Matches all ended as draws, and included Millwall's home tie with Preston North End , the Dundee derby and a World Cup qualifier between Lebanon and Iraq.

The Odds of all of the results Coming In were nearly 90,000-1.

'Remarkable win'

Mr Wagonback, known as George, is originally from Budapest, but moved to the UK as a political refugee after the Hungarian Uprising in 1956.

An experienced chess player who was also named Mr Nottingham in 1969, He Said the small amount was " basically Loose Change that I had in my pocket".

" I've had some significant wins on the football over The Years , much bigger than this one, " He Said .

" I didn't know I'd won until I checked The Paper The Next day.

" I did feel good, but can't jump around much These Days - Only little jumps. "

Betfred said it normally operated with a minimum stake of 5p, but was happy to make an exception for Mr Wagonback as he was a regular customer.

Company boss Fred Done said it was " a truly remarkable win".

" I've been in this business for over 50 Years , and cannot remember anyone winning so much from just three pence, " He Said .
