N200 staked. N40,000,000 returned. Bet9ja published this mega winner alert on 22 May 2024 after a 22-selection accumulator settled in full.
The official Bet ID was B9TK6299462691J-13500737 and the ticket was placed on 18 May 2024.
Here is the thing. Only three markets were used across those 22 legs, and six of them were straight draws.

Three markets only: outright winner, winner or draw, and draw. Individual prices ran from 1.08 at the safe end to 3.25 at the risky end.
What Was on the 22-Leg Slip
Bet9ja itemised two legs by name and described the rest by market and league. We list only what the official post confirms.
| # | Pick | Market | Match | Odds | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Arsenal | 1X2 | Arsenal vs Everton | 1.17 | Won 2-1 |
| 2 | Manchester United | 1X2 | Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United | 2.86 | Won 0-2 |
Arsenal at 1.17 nearly cost the whole slip. They fell 1-0 behind to Everton and only found the winner in the 89th minute.
Manchester United at Brighton was the riskier of the two named legs at 2.86. United won 2-0.
The remaining 20 selections split across six competitions:
- Premier League (England)
- Bundesliga (Germany)
- Ligue 1 (France)
- Super Lig (Turkey)
- Liga Profesional (Argentina)
- Liga 1 Apertura (Peru)
The Odds Behind the Win
Effective odds: N40,000,000 ÷ N200 = 200,000.00.
Implied probability: 1 ÷ 200,000 = 0.0005 percent, or about 1 in 200,000.
Twenty-two legs averaging roughly 1.75 each multiply out to about 200,000. That average sits between the 1.08 floor and the 3.25 ceiling Bet9ja quoted.
The six draw selections did most of the heavy lifting. Draws priced near 3.20 contribute far more to a running total than a 1.08 favourite does.
Bet9ja also applies a multiple boost on long accumulators, so part of the final figure can come from that rather than raw price. See our accumulator tips guide for how the boost tiers work.
Why Mixing Draws With Short Favourites Pays
Short favourites at 1.08 to 1.20 barely move a total. Their job on a slip like this is to survive, not to add value.
Draws do the opposite. They land around a quarter of the time in most European leagues and price near 3.20, so each one roughly triples the running total.
Spreading across Argentina and Peru alongside Europe also widens the fixture pool. Kick-off times differ, which is how 22 legs fit into one weekend.
What This Win Actually Means
A 22-leg ticket at roughly 1 in 200,000 is a lottery-style bet. One late equaliser anywhere in the 22 and the slip is worth nothing.
The Arsenal leg makes that point. An 89th-minute goal was the difference between N40 million and zero.
The transferable detail is stake size. N200 is an amount a losing punter absorbs without harm.
Compare it with the N200 to N19.6m winner, which reached a similar scale on 19 legs, or the N500 to N40m winner from April 2026.
