Irish Pensioner’s 50-Cent Lucky 63 Lands £482,000 Cheltenham Payout

Paddy Power calls it one of the greatest bets ever following a six-for-six sweep.

Overview

  • The 69-year-old Irish customer won £481,947 (€558,000) from Paddy Power on the Festival’s final day.
  • He staked €63 (about £54) on a 50-cent each-way Lucky 63, with every selection winning.
  • A Lucky 63 combines 63 separate bets across six picks, which multiplies returns when all succeed.

  • Paddy Power confirmed the payout and hailed the wager as “one of the greatest bets of all-time.”
