A man won more than a quarter of a million pounds after betting just £7 yesterday on horseracing.
The 58-year-old dad, from Manchester, took home a stellar £281,246.23 on Tuesday, November 30.
Four of his seven selections won at Southwell - and he could now have local trainer Donald McCain celebrating with him.

The William Hill punter pocketed the huge sum from a series of 10p multiples in a bet comprising big-priced winners Schiaparannie (8-1), Tiquer (25-1), Irish Sovereign (66-1) and Alchemystique (150-1).
He said he plans to invest in his own racehorse with the winnings, as well as jetting off to New Zealand with his wife.
He hopes to one day 'win the Grand National' after buying a racehorse.
The lucky winner said: "I had no idea they would be such big odds! I scanned through the racecards, picked out a few fancies and placed some fun multiples for the day.
"I've always said that if I were to win big then I'd like to invest in a proper racehorse, so now's my chance. I'd like a nice jumps horse, maybe in training with Donald McCain as he's quite local, and the next dream would be to win the Grand National!
"My wife and I are also hoping to go to New Zealand and spend some time touring the country, a trip we've always spoken about doing."
Trainer McCain, who was at Haydock on Wednesday to see A Different Kind maintain his unbeaten record over hurdles under Brian Hughes, was naturally delighted for the William Hill punter.
He said: "If he has suggested he wants to buy a horse and have it with me, then I think that is a very good idea!
"It will be a pleasure to meet him - please give him my best wishes and point him in my direction!"
William Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams added: "It's remarkable that he's not managed to pick just one or two big odds winners, but four, including a 150-1 shot and a 66-1 shot.
"He said he didn't pay much attention to the prices when placing the bet, which is probably a good thing as he might have been put off.
"We're delighted for him and the family. It sounds as though they'll enjoy the money with a dream holiday to New Zealand, and maybe a racehorse of their own. Be lucky!"
