Jackpot punter turns £2 into £1.4million

STEVE Whiteley, a heating engineer from North Devon, hit the jackpot at Exeter when he landed a massive rollover Jackpot courtesy of 12-1 chance Lupita in the final leg.

Over £2m was in the pool (his win share was £1.4m) but Black Phantom (12-1), Ammunition (16-1) and Mr Bennett (16-1) had seen off the vast majority of the tickets after the first four races.

When Lundy Sky (5-1) got the better of odds-on favourite Glitzy D’Ocala in the penultimate race the whole bet was down to just £1.
