    He predicted 8 2-2 draws to win 3 Million

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotlan...ntral-11510761

    A prison officer has netted a record jackpot of £3,001,511 in Britain's largest ever Football Pools win.

    Michael Elliott, who is 56 and lives in Brechin in Angus, said the prize scooped from a £2 stake was a "dream come true".

    He secured the payout by predicting eight 2-2 draws in Scottish, English and Spanish leagues in September.

    What wore the games man?!

    It is possible to predict 8 draw games but to predict 8 games with the exact score is amazing.

    I'm having a tough time predicting ONE draw, let alone 8 in a parlay.

    These are the 8 games that, in my opinion, Michael Elliott picked and it does make sense because it fits.

    I did some search and i guess he played both saturday and sunday games on the same ticket(parlay), so the games will be like this:

    Sat 25/09/10
    Hamilton Acade… 2 - 2 Kilmarnock
    Liverpool 2 - 2 Sunderland
    Middlesbrough 2 - 2 Portsmouth
    Real Zaragoza 2 - 2 Sporting Gijon
    Morecambe 2 - 2 Barnet (league two)
    Stockport County 2 - 2 Aldershot Town (league two)


    Sun 26/09/10
    Elche 2 - 2 Real Valladolid (secunda A)
    Bolton Wanderers 2 - 2 Manchester United

    Haha. Impressive. I don't know if it's true or just some bate for the gamblers, but who knows. Most of the million winners want to stay undercover.

    This is nothing short of amazing, I bet this lucky bastard was drunk when he placed this 1 in a billion wager.

    So funny the article. I read it and couldn't notice the target of his girfirend. He's gonna buy a boat for fishing along his friends and she is goin' to plan their wedding. That's the most funny shit from the article. For sure she wants future assurance.

    Not that's what i call a happy marriage.
