Punter scoops over £300k on incredible ante-post accumulator thanks to late equaliser

It's also when punters find out if their longshot accumulators from the start of the campaign have landed - and, for this lucky bettor, it did.

The lucky William Hill customer won a remarkable £308,880 when his £20 six-fold accumulator on Kilmarnock, Cove, Kelty Hearts, Fulham, Wigan and Forest Green all to win their respective leagues landed on Saturday.

He has Forest Green's Josh March to thank, as his 80th-minute equaliser secured the League Two title for the Green Devils, meaning the punter's 15,444/1 acca was a winner.

"Many of our customers chance their arm with big-priced accumulators on who will win a selection of football leagues from around the world, but few of them come off," said William Hill spokesperson Tony Kenny.

"However, that wasn't the case on Saturday as a remarkable ante-post six-fold landed with one punter correctly predicting that Kilmarnock, Cove, Kelty Hearts, Fulham, Wigan and Forest Green would all emerge victorious in their respective leagues.

"The punter staked just £20 on the bet back in August and after a late Forest Green equaliser, they are waking up over £300k richer."

Whilst everyone involved with Forest Green will have celebrated their title success, nobody would have partied quite as hard as this successful bettor on Saturday night.

Rovers pipped Exeter to the title as they lost 1-0 to Port Vale at St James Park on the final day.

That result ensured the Valiants made the League Two play-offs on a dramatic final day, which also saw Bristol Rovers promoted with a five-goal swing and a 7-0 win over Scunthorpe.
