£92,000 accumulator winner: My head ‘went to mush’
A Chelsea fan from Southampton said his head “went to mush” when West Bromwich Albion drew with Burnley, and he realised he had won his £2 accumulator bet.
Dean Clay predicted wins for Southampton, Chelsea and Crystal Palace, but was too nervous to watch the last of his 14 games, so discovered the result while he was out playing golf.
The 48-year-old said he knew nothing about the £23,000 bonus that was added to his £69,000 win until he returned to the bookies yesterday.
Mr Clay said his wife had “a little one on the way”, and they would use the money to buy a new house.
