A mystery 53 year old William Hill shop punter, from Caernarfon, is on cloud nine after a £2 football accumulator paid out to the tune of £75,582.85. The punter, who works for a fast food restaurant and names Fenerbahce as his favourite team says that his biggest win before has been £301 on the 49s, the twice daily numbers draw made in shops.

The punter’s accumulator included both Sunday matches in the Premier League – backing Swansea at 3/1 and Newcastle at 8/11, as well as another 12 matches from around Europe and paid out at odds of just over 37790/1. When asked if he had any plans for the money, he said he was going to treat his wife and three children.

“This punter must have an incredible knowledge of European football as he has not just picked 14 favourites in his selections, he has gone for a few outsiders as well,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Punter’s Selections (winning selections in bold):

11/10 Huesca vs Deportivo La Coruna
7/4 Sporting Gijon vs Malaga
4/9 PAOK Salonika vs Egrotelis
1/16 Barcelona vs Betis
7/5 Braga vs Sporting Lisbon
11/5 AC Milan vs Inter Milan
1/1 Cesena vs Novara
3/1 Swansea vs Arsenal
3/1 Osasuna vs Santander
7/5 Xerez vs Hercules
1/2 Ath Bilbao vs Levante
8/13 Atl Madrid vs Villarreal
8/11 Newcastle vs QPR
8/11 Lazio vs Atalanta

£2 stake paid £75,582.85

Football fans land £10,000 windfall:
PUNTERS ON CLOUD NINE THANKS TO SPURS

TWO FOOTBALL FANS will collect over ten thousand pounds between them from William Hill after placing a bet with them at the start of the Premier League season that any one club in the division would score NINE or more goals in one match during the season.
When Spurs hit nine against Wigan on Sunday, Dan Turner,27, collected £6700 from Hills for his £100 bet at odds of 66/1, while Jamie Smalley, 28, is £3350 better off after staking £50 at 66/1.
Neither of the flatmates from South East London supports Spurs – banker, Dan, who is a Chelsea fan, and entrepreneur Jamie who runs the ‘Cheeky Butler’ company (www.cheekybutlers.com) follows Liverpool.
‘The lads approached us pre-season with the idea for their bet, which they had come up with when Middlesbro hit eight past Manchester City a couple of seasons back, and we were happy to offer them 66/1, which they accepted – I can’t see us being as generous next season if they want the bet again, and we’re definitely taking Wigan boss Roberto Martinez off our Christmas card list!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
**WILLIAM HILL now offer 40/1 that any Premiership side will hit 10 or more goals in a Premier League game this season – and offer 11/1 that any single Prem match will have an aggregate of 11 or more goals this season.
**JERMAIN DEFOE is now 11/4 favourite for this season’s Golden Boot with William Hill who also make him 13/8 to start England’s first World Cup match and 4/9 not to. Hills offer 66/1 that any player will score 6 or more in a Prem game this season.
Drogba is 10/3 second favourite to win the Golden Boot with Hills who also offer 7/2 Torres; 11/2 Bent; 8/1 Rooney; 16 Van Persie; 20 Anelka; Adebayor.
