The Dagenham bettor netted their jackpot win by correctly predicting the exact scoreline in four World Cup qualifiers at odds of 1,400/1.
Alongside correctly selecting a 3-0 victory for Thomas Tuchel’s England against Latvia, the customer’s in-shop accumulator was on the ropes when Albania entered the 90th minute against Andorra with a 2-0 lead, with the punter predicting a 3-0 scoreline.
But Myrto Uzuni’s 92nd-minute goal dramatically turned the betslip into a winner, seeing the customer walk away with a handsome £28,690 from a £20 stake.
Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “This is a fantastic in-shop win for our customer in Dagenham.
“It just goes to show that football really is a game of fine margins – especially when there’s an ambitious four-fold on the line!
“A last-gasp Albania goal last night turned what looked like an agonising near-miss into a sensational £28,000 payout.
“Landing an accumulator like this takes a mix of knowledge, nerve, and a bit of luck, and we’re delighted to see a local punter take home such an incredible return from just a £20 stake.”
