Punter has best Easter ever turning £5 into £90k on nine-fold football acca

A speculative football fan had a cracking Easter after nailing a 11,662/1 accumulator to win almost £90,000 – all from a £5 stake.

The mystery punter correctly predicted the result of nine matches across England and Scotland over the weekend, including the Premier League clash between Wolves and Chelsea, plus the Old Firm Derby between Rangers and Celtic.

The monster acca, which would usually have paid £58,312, actually returned a colossal £87,247 thanks to William Hill’s Bet Boost.

Although the plucky punter didn't require any last minute winners for the bet to land, they would have been looking through their fingers at one or two potentially dicey scorelines.

Celtic only edged out Rangers 3-2 at Celtic Park, while Bournemouth, Wolves and Newcastle all won by a single goal. It was a more straightforward picture in Scotland, where the likes of Aberdeen, Motherwell and St Mirren all got the job done comfortably.
