An anonymous football fan from Malta placed a 19 leg accumulator at William Hill with the last match to be played between Chelsea and Liverpool.

£574,278.41 from £1 Accumulator
Carri Faulkner earned a huge £574,278.41 from a £1 12-team football accumulator in November 2017. There was no skill involved, most of her picks were outsiders.
Her son read out the matches and she selected the 12 teams that she liked the sound of. All 12 picks were in the win market from the English Premier League and English Championship.
£272,000 from £2.50 Accumulator
One lucky punter secured the largest payout in Ladbrokes’ history in 2011 with a gigantic £272,000 win from a £2.50 bet. The mystery bet contained nine football matches from competitions including the English Premier League and Copa del Rey.
Underdog victories for Wolves and Blackburn Rovers kept the acca alive with the last leg being a draw between Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona in the Copa del Rey.
Barcelona were holding onto a 1-0 lead in the closing stages before Fernando Llorente equalised in the 85th minute to hand a sharp punter more than a quarter of a million pounds.
£200,000 from £100 Single Bet
Leicester City’s English Premier League title in the 2015/16 season was a true fairytale story that shocked everyone in the football world. The title win came as a shock to bookmakers who were offering odds of 5,000/1 against the Foxes before the season began.

One patient punter stuck it out and won a massive £200,000 from a £100 bet placed in October. Had they placed the bet at the start of the season they would have won £500,000.
