Last weekend\u2019s mystery totescoop6 winner has been found after Betfred boss Fred Done launched a nationwide appeal to try and find the owner of a betting slip which was worth \u00a3394,487.<\/p>\n

Young mum Amber Galligan, 22, placed the \u00a32 bet on the Scoop6 in a Betfred shop in Benwell, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne for her father who has arthritis. Thomas Galligan, 53, plays the bet regularly but didn\u2019t realise that his initial selection \u2013 Vocational in the 2.25 at Ayr \u2013 was a non-runner and that this meant his pick then switched to the unnamed favourite \u2013 7\/2 jolly Angels Will Fall \u2013 which eventually won the race.<\/p>\n

The pair became the first Scoop6 winners in the history of the bet not to come forward and failed to register in time to play for the extra \u00a3251,966 in the bonus fund but eagle-eyed shop staff spotted Amber when she returned to the shop on Saturday evening to place another bet.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was at the counter when the assistant told me they\u2019d been looking for me and I knew he wasn\u2019t joking as he was so deadly serious,\u201d said Amber.\u00a0\u201cWhen he first told me that the bet had won I thought it was the place part and might have been a few hundred pounds, not hundreds of thousands of pounds.\u00a0I was very shocked and couldn\u2019t believe what he was telling me, but my dad\u2019s been a fantastic father to us and deserves a change of luck.\u00a0We live in a small two bedroomed council flat and my dad has awful arthritis and sleeps on the sofa. He\u2019s going to buy a bigger house with the winnings and take us all on holiday. It will change all our lives for the better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former builder\u2019s labourer Thomas \u2013 a father of four who originally hails from Leith, near Edinburgh \u2013 said: \u201cAmber is my angel \u2013 she and all my kids and grandkids mean the world to me.\u00a0I don\u2019t bet during the week, but do the Scoop6 when I can afford it on a Saturday. I thought my first horse Vocational had got beat and then I watched as the next five won \u2013 I knew there were 568 tickets going into the last race at Royal Ascot and only one on Dandy Boy, but I never realised I was the winner as I thought I was out in leg one.\u00a0I\u2019ve had years of pain and operations with arthritis in my legs and Amber and my son Michael pop down to the shop to place my Saturday bet.\u00a0Our first priority with the win will be to buy a bigger place to live and I also want to take them all on the holiday of a lifetime. We don\u2019t really do holidays as we have just enough to get by, so I can\u2019t remember the last time we went on one – if ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

Betfred boss Fred Done was delighted to hear that Thomas Galligan had finally been found and was quick to praise his shop staff for their hard work.\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re all delighted that we\u2019ve finally found Thomas after a nationwide search as the amount he\u2019s landed really will change his life for the better.\u00a0I\u2019d like to thank my shop staff and area managers for being so alert otherwise Thomas may still not know that he was sitting on a fortune.\u201d<\/p>\n

This weekend\u2019s Scoop6 could be worth up to \u00a3500,000 after both the win and bonus fund rolled over on Saturday. There is currently \u00a362,314 in the win fund and \u00a3278,202 in the bonus fund.<\/p>\n
