A darts fan has hit the bullseye with Betfred and won a huge £1,358,976. In between the action from the PDC World Darts Championship the tradesman from Hampshire decided to open a Betfred account.

He had not been playing for long when he landed £1,358,976 on an online slots game called MegaJackpots Siberian Storm, this massive win was for only a £1.50 stake.

He said: “I knew I had won a decent amount, but I only discovered I had won over £1.3m when Betfred phoned me. I could not believe it and after discussing it with the wife we will be looking to buy a house. This changes everything.”

The darts fanatic then got another surprise when the boss of Betfred Fred Done phoned him.

He added: “I knew it was a family business, but no one would expect the actual owner to phone you up. He gave me a bit of advice to look after the money and best of all, he invited me to the Betfred World Matchplay Darts in Blackpool. I’ve spent most of Christmas watching darts and so I’m looking forward to that.”

Betfred boss Fred Done said: “I absolutely love it when customers win big for a small amount it’s what we are all about at Betfred. I gave him a bit of advice to look after his money and I’m looking forward to meeting him in Blackpool at the darts.”

The darts fan plans to carry on enjoying the action from the Alexandra Palace and returning to work on Tuesday.
