One lucky Ladbrokes punter recently turned a $100 bet into an incredible $3.2 million by accurately predicting the first four finishers in the Melbourne Cup. In a thrilling upset, the bettor boxed a combination of Knight’s Choice, Warp Speed, Okita Soushi, and Zardozi, all of whom came through for a massive payout.
Knight’s Choice, an outsider with odds of $81, clinched the win, followed by Warp Speed at $26, Okita Soushi at $19, and Zardozi at $14, creating a sequence few could have predicted. Ladbrokes spokesperson Tom Hackett confirmed the impressive wager, expressing his congratulations. “We’re thrilled for this Ladbrokes punter who nailed the first four in the Melbourne Cup,” Hackett told punters.com.au.
He added, “Initially, they thought they had won $780,000, so discovering the full $3.2 million prize was an incredible surprise—a life-changing moment. This proves that in the Melbourne Cup, anything can happen.”
