When Joe McGuire placed his weekly Scoop6 accumulator, he knew the chances of him winning were very slim. Despite this, after watching his first five selections fly home I bet a small part of him thought his luck had changed and this would finally be his week.
Now we all how hard it is to pick a winning 6 fold on the football, however when horses are involved it becomes all the more unpredictable and unlikely.
For this reason, the Scoop6 jackpot for correctly predicting the winner of 6 races reaches the heights of £7 million, truly reflecting the likelihood of pulling it off.
As previously mentioned, Mr McGuire got within one race of claiming the full jackpot and his chosen horse was agonisingly close to winning. Unfortunately for the hapless gambler, he had to watch his horse come in second, just inches away from £7 million!
