A scaffolder who was living between his father’s home and a pub run by his partner’s parents has scooped £11.5 million – from a £1.50 bet.
Arron Freeman was playing an online slot machine on the Betfred website called Mega Moolah when his lines came up and transformed his life.
The payout – the biggest in the gambling firm’s 58-year history – represents a 766,667,000 per cent return on his stake.
Mr Freeman was still struggling to accept the impact of his June 5 win when contacted by the Mail today.
The 44-year-old said the win would change his circumstances ‘big time’, adding: ‘I need a little time to get my head around it.’
