A lucky granddad bagged a £2,600 football accumulator win - after betting just 3p with his local bookmaker.
Janus Wagonback, 85, correctly predicted that ten games would finish in draws - at astonishing odds of 90,000-1.
Staff at his local Betfred let him bet just 3p - less than the usual 5p minimum - because he is a regular.
Janus, from Sutton-in-Ashfield, Notts, said the cash was “loose change that I had in my pocket”.
He was amazed to see all ten matches had finished in a stalemate when he checked his newspaper.
The games included league matches in England and Scotland and a World Cup qualifier between Lebanon and Iraq.
Janus, originally from Hungary, said: “I was confident the Scottish games would all be draws, as they often are up there.
“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.
“I’ve had some significant wins on the football over the years, much bigger than this one.
“But then again, I usually bet more than 3p, which is basically loose change that I had in my pocket.”
The 10-fold accumulator last week saw Janus, who is a former bodybuilder and talented chess player, win £2,686.04.
The matches were Millwall-Preston, Wimbledon-Cheltenham, Bradford-Leyton Orient, Colchester-Rochdale, Swindon-Crawley, Dundee-Dundee United,
Hibernian-Hearts, Ross County-Aberdeen, St Mirren-Motherwell and Lebanon-Iraq.
Betfred boss Fred Done said: “I’ve been in this business for over 50 years and cannot remember anyone winning so much from just three pence.
“It is a truly remarkable win, with him beating odds of virtually 90,000/1.”
