Punter wins a million pounds for 50 pence stake

A man in northern England turned a $1 horse bet into nearly $2 million when all eight of his horses came in as winners, some at as much as 10-to-1 odds.
It started with a horse called Isn't That Lucky and ended with one called A Dream Come True - a run of eight winners that turned a 50p stake into Britain's first million pound betting-shop pay-out.
He already seems set to screw it all up though, his first instinct was to tell his wife. Telegraph tells the story.
