A lucky Wicklow punter landed this outrageous 33,000/1 bet on the Euromillions last night

A Wicklow punter was the benefactor of one of the biggest outside bets to ever come through in Ireland when they struck gold last night in the Euromillions draw.

While the €140million jackpot wasn't won, there was a person in Bray who had a bet on four particular numbers coming up in the draw at odds of 33,000/1. The lucky punter picked numbers 4, 48, 49 and 50, and lo and behold, they all came up.

It might sicken whoever it was that put on the bet that they only staked €1 on the punt, meaning their return will be €33,001. The bet was placed in the Ladbrokes store on the Quinsborough Road in Bray, and Ladbrokes spokeswoman, Hayley O'Connor, said that the odds of a bet like that coming off are longer than the odds of spotting the Lough Ness Monster.

"The summer might be over but the sun was definitely shining on this customer in Bray this morning," she said.

“The odds on predicting 4 numbers from the Euromillions draws are over three times bigger than the odds for spotting the Lough Ness Monster, and over ten times bigger than Hull's price to win this Premier League, so it's not surprising that it's such a popular bet for punters, and one of them struck gold last night."
