ONE lucky punter won over £300,000 from an audacious bet on the penultimate day of Royal Ascot.
The unnamed bettor predicted the correct winner from all seven races – a feat rarely achieved.
And after placing an each way bet of £2.50 – which means their total stake was £5 – the punter has won £307, 464.
The odds on the William Hill bet were 122,889/1, highlighting just how remarkable the win is.

“However, one pulled off the incredible feat of successful choosing all seven winners on the penultimate day of the Royal meeting at a frankly ridiculous price of 122,889/1.
