Racing fan lands £40,000 jackpot from just £3 after picking four winners including shock 40/1 outsider at Doncaster

A PLUCKY PUNTER turned £3 into a whopping £41,118 with Paddy Power on Saturday after backing races in Dubai and Doncaster.

This sensational lump sum of cash was won from odds of 13,705/1, as they only backed races in Dubai and Doncaster.

The racing fan from Milton Keynes collected their winnings after backing a Lucky 15 each-way at 10p, costing just three quid.

The first of their four selections was by far the biggest gamble of the day, as they fittingly backed Takingrisks in the 15.15 race at Doncaster at a huge 40/1.

But jockey Sean Quinlan gave the punter the dream start, after riding the huge outsider to glory by one-and-a-quarter lengths.

Takingrisks had to fight off competition Aye Right to get the winning bet slip underway.

The second selection was also at 15.15 but at Meydan in Dubai, as 20/1 shot Mystery Lord battled to win a tight race by just a quarter of a length.

Jockey Pat Cosgrave was forced fight until the end to secure the victory after being put under immense pressure by Al Salt.

The next stop on this winning bet slip was back at Doncaster, in the 16.25 - backing Marshmallo at 20/1.

Marshmallo comfortably saw off competition from Billams Legacy to win by two lengths.

And for the final selection, the punter fan backed another huge outsider for the 16.25 at Meydan.

They backed Moshaher at a massive 25/1 to seal the jackpot - sending the plucky punter into dreamland.
