We've all sat watching Soccer Saturday on Sky Sports waiting for just one goal to win us that acca, the one goal that simply is never coming. For one Super Six player it did arrive in the 96th minute!
We all love watching our own team play live in the stadium but when that isn't possible there's nothing like staying in on Saturday and watch the results coming in and putting a bet on can help the enjoyment, but when the fun stops and all that of course.
On the flip side there can be nothing worse than knowing that one result is going to cost you the big pay out that you richly deserve, or at least really want so you can put more money on next week.
For those of us who, to borrow a phrase, would have no luck if it wasn't for bad luck the late goal in a game will only ever cost you a bet but that wasn't the case for one lucky punter.

Jamie Vardy's 96th minute goal, that gave Leicester a 2-0 win over Brighton, was extremely good news for Luke Allerton. The goal won the Super Six player £250,000, as per the Mirror, with the Chelsea fan saying:
"I'm ecstatic, it's not sunk in yet. I've played Super 6 for years, every week and never got close before. I was getting ready to go out for a meal and had no idea of what had happened.
"My nephew called me up to say someone from Grimsby's won it so I thought I'd better check my predictions. I saw it on the app, but I still couldn't believe it. I heard about other two jackpot winners over the last two weeks and thought to myself, 'it might be me one day.'
"I was lost for words when I got the call to confirm everything, I was running about the house shouting at my mum, she didn't believe me, but she does now.

"I'd been planning to go to on holiday with my girlfriend for my 30th later this month for over a year. We're going to San Francisco then up to Vegas, it's the first time I've been and it's going to be incredible.
"I'm also looking to move out and get a house with my girlfriend soon, so when I come back, we'll be looking around. It'll be incredible to buy somewhere without a mortgage."
Check out this bowling competition because why not:
Sky will be fed up of people winning their jackpot, last week someone else won a quarter of a million pounds and the week before someone else won the £1,000,000!

Leicester were barely worth their win with Brighton being the better side and Glen Murray seeing his penalty save before the Foxes went down to 10 men with Wilfried N'didi sent off and then the former Premier League champions going on to score twice.
Jamie Vardy was having a late 96th minute party, so was Luke!
