Punter wins big bucks on Big Buck’s

A £100,000 payout was awaiting one lucky punter yesterday after Big Buck’s romped to an historic victory in the first race of the Grand National Festival.

The unnamed gambler placed £500,000 at odds of 1/5 on the horse to romp to a record 17th consecutive win and won a 20 per cent return. The wager was the biggest single bet ever received by William Hill.
