THE totescoop6 could create its next millionaire on Saturday as last weekend’s winning punter sets his sights on the £878,564 bonus fund.
The anonymous bonus hunter, a man in his 60s, staked £2 in a Coral betting shop and collected £411,959 after being the only person to pick all six winners in last Saturday’s Scoop6.
He will take his haul to nearly £1.3m if he can select the victor of thebonus race. Such a payout would make him one of the biggest single winners in betting shop history.
The race in question will be the 17-runner European Breeders’ Fund William Hill “National Hunt” Novices’ Handicap Hurdle Final at Sandown, where Doctor Harper could go off favourite in a wide open contest.
The man, from Nuneaton, is looking forward to the race and said: “I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to win such a life-changing amount of money this weekend. It’s what everyone who plays the Scoop6 dreams of.
“I’d like to thank everyone at Betfred and totepool for being so helpful and also the other players who reached the final leg of the Scoop6 and have wished me luck in the bonus race. I still can’t believe I was the only winner.
“If I go on to win this extra money, maybe a big holiday is on the cards. I’m so happy I won so much last Saturday and it proves what a fantastic bet the Scoop6 continues to be.”
totepool spokesman Andrew Griffiths added: “Tomorrow could be one of the biggest days in Scoop6 history and we’re looking forward to it. It was a fantastic achievement to win more than £400,000 for just £2 and we hope our bonus hunter carries his good form into the bonus race.”
The Scoop6 win fund starts from scratch and takes in four races from Sandown and two all-weather contests from Wolverhampton.
The totejackpot is at Sandown tomorrow and the totetrifecta rollover race will be the European Breeders’ Fund William Hill “National Hunt” Novices’ Handicap Hurdle Final (2:05 Sandown).

Eh, you just won over £400,000 so I doubt you will be going to f*cking Butlins this year!!!!!! :)
Can’t find a write up saying he won the bonus fund, but seems it’s been reset, so guessing he must have done. Absolutely incredible win from £2 stake. I used to do this bet religiously several years ago, but always forget now. Will have to start remembering
luke a, it wasn’t won. I’ve been sent this and may post later if I get time: “There was no fairytale ending for the Scoop6 bonus hunter hoping to become a millionaire at Sandown. The anonymous £2 punter, who was bidding to land a further £878,564 after pocketing £411,959 last weekend, plumped for Brother Brian in the bonus race who finished fourth behind 20/1 winner Brave Vic. This means the bonus fund will hold £911,622 at the start of play on Saturday while the win fund will build from £77,135 after Gaillimh A Chroi triggered a rollover in the final leg.”
I searched for ages trying to find a write up like that, cheers Mr f! I could only find that the bonus fund was 33k, but I’m guessing that is for Fridays pool. Yesterday’s 6 results looked fairly doable, although obviously the 20/1 winner brave Vic knocked the majority out.
