One punter has raked in an incredible six-figure sum after striking gold with a 25-fold football accumulator.
Betting with William Hill last Saturday, a fan from Sheffield placed £80 on a variety of markets across European football, including bets on La Liga and the Premier League.
They marked the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City to beat Everton and Brighton respectively as well as one to six goals occurring in Real Madrid’s match against Sevilla, which ultimately ended as a 1-1 draw.
Those three results came in for the lucky fan, alongside another 22, which led to a payout of some £106,159.40.

A William Hill spokesperson said: "Whether it was luck, judgement or a combination of the two, whenever a 25-fold accumulator comes off it’s an amazing achievement and this is definitely one of the most impressive wins we will see all season.
"There were certainly some interesting selections within the accumulator, but take nothing away from them and the £106,159.40 they are taking home is richly deserved."
It’s an extreme rarity, but at times accumulators can lead to life-changing sums of money. In 1996 former joiner Darren Yates placed his last £62 on legendary jockey Frankie Dettori to ride seven winners at Ascot.
Against all odds, the Italian came through big time and secured a £550,000 payout for the punter.
Yates used his winnings to build a property and development empire, which he later sold for a staggering £20million.
In a recent interview, via the Daily Star, he explained: "I went home and just burst out crying.
"I told my wife Annaley, ‘I’ve done it, darling. We’ve hit the big one’.
"She started crying. We sat there hugging each other for about an hour and we just couldn’t stop crying. That was the best moment of my life — knowing all our worries were over."
