Well done to the 8 tickets who won.

Really, really hope that there's at least one 2 quid pin-picker at least.

Dividend is £1,342,599.50p

S.P. acca is 255,815-1

5 times the sp.

Well done whoever won it.

Great news.

Indications are 3 of the 8 winners were small staking betting shop punters:

Betfred, which operates the Scoop6 after its purchase of the Tote, has also located an as-yet unnamed man who invested the minimum £2 in one of its shops and holds one of the eight tickets worth £1,342,599.

The credit controller was similarly a £2 punter and placed his bet in a Paddy Power branch on the King's Road in the capital.

He wishes to remain anonymous but is reported by the firm to be 58 and originally from Dundee.

Saturday's Scoop6 had amassed huge proportions after rolling over through 12 weeks and victory for the Alan King-trained Chatez in the Betfred Mobile Casino Silver Bowl Stakes at Haydock sparked celebrations, with 122 tickets still standing going into the final leg.

Each winning ticket is eligible to play for the bonus fund next Saturday, which stands at a further £5,481,763.

After checking the result from leg four, the Betfred Mind Blowing Scoop6 Today EBF Stallions Stakes, the credit controller could not find his selection, March, in the results.

But that filly had been withdrawn and the bet switched to the unnamed favourite, the successful Joyeuse.

The 58-year-old told Paddy Power: "Obviously I didn't expect too much from the Scoop6 and looking at that result I thought I'd lost but then I checked and I was absolutely delirious when I'd won."

The other tickets are held by a £6 punter from a Ladbrokes shop in Dublin, two who invest high stakes via the betting exchange Betfair, and three syndicates.

Last weekend, Ladbrokes punter Joe McGuire came within a length and a quarter of claiming just short of £7million for his £8 stake when denied in the last race of six in the bet at Catterick.

how much was the place dividend?

"Place Fund: There were 7327 correct selections each winning £301.50"

hahaha! Tommy Toes the looker-upper on the Scoop6 results site!

It was a lot less this week than last, Mr badger, due to there being so many playing.

Think it was almost a grand last week.

Crikey, yesterday paid the lowest amount per ticket for at least the last 6 weeks.

Not me, CMAT. I reckon one of them was Mr Nibbs.

First one was though - I noticed!

Nibbs will bet next week if you tell him that, and I'll lay it,

A wheelie bin cleaner from Nottinghamshire has become one of Britain's biggest betting-shop winners.

Craig Brazier, 39, from Mansfield, won more than £1.3m on an accumulator bet after he staked £2 and predicted six horses to win selected races in the UK.

He has vowed to carry on cleaning bins, but hopes to buy a five-bedroom home and take his partner Tracy and children on a Disney holiday in Florida.

Mr Brazier was one of eight winners to get a share of more than £10m.


'Could not breathe'

I was jumping round the living room and dropped to my knees in shock when the horse won”

Craig Brazier
The Scoop6 is a national competition in which people try to predict the winners of six races in a row. If no-one wins, the pot rolls over to the next week.

Mr Brazier had his fortune riding on Chatez at Haydock on Saturday.

The father of two said he placed the bet because he had £2 left in his pocket after buying fishing bait on Saturday.

"It's the best two quid I have ever spent," Mr Brazier said.

"Tracy was dozing off on the sofa and even though I was into the last leg with five winners already, she said, 'you're not lucky enough to win that'... I woke her up watching the last race screaming, 'he's won it'.


"I was jumping round the living room and dropped to my knees in shock when the horse won.

"I could not breathe when I realised I won the money... I just cannot believe how big this is."

Mr Brazier said his winnings of £1,342,599 would go towards a new house and a family holiday but he would not be giving up his job.

And Mr Brazier could be in for more good news at the weekend when a bonus race could win him another £5m.


good luck to him ..great story

It is not a coincidence that you can spell Mr Bins from Mr Nibbs.

No

Well after seeing Mr Brazier on The Morning Line this morning talking about his win, I've changed my mind and wouldn't be surprised at all if he does carry on bin cleaning.

He said: "I'll be going back to the bins, it gets me out of the house working in the fresh air. I love my job and the people I work with/for."

He also said that £1.3 million wouldn't last all that long if he went mad with it - especially as he's only 39.
Which, when you think about, it is probably true.

He seemed a very down-to-earth bloke and not the type who'd ever have any ambitions of owning his own business, so if you consider a decent house would swallow up at least half of his winnings if paid for outright - he's probably thinking very sensibly about his life and that of his nearest and dearest and what he could provide for them in the future - as well as having an easier life for himself as he continues working.

Of course, if he wins the extra £5 million bonus pot today on his own out of the 8 tickets, he may have to reconsider.

Hope he wins it!

No, TheCoat, we'd have been delighted if it had been you/someone from Chit Chat who'd have won - no matter how much he staked.

Can't help but feel happiness for someone winning who's an 'ordinary Joe' and a two pound punter though. It's just a natural, human reaction.

He,s picked TUMBLEWIND 16/ 1 shot ...good luck to him

Tote bloke said it 'wasn't clear' until just before the race was run that the rest of the ticket holders hadn't pooled together after all - and it was all separate tickets.
