THIS is the brilliant moment a lucky punter finds out he’s won £96,000 on the Melbourne Cup – after finally getting his phone to work again.
Ozzie punter Tom knew he had placed a load of bets on the ‘race that stops a nation’… but couldn’t remember just how many.
He was certain he had taken up one bookies’ offer of pricing up every horse at 100-1.
So he knew the tenner he put on eventual winner Gold Trip had netted him a grand.
But there was much, much more to come – he just had to frantically charge his phone to find out how much.
