₦200. Five selections. All Correct Score. All predicting 2-1. Combined odds of 80,480.82.
Return: ₦16,900,972.70. An 84,505x return on stake.
This is the most audacious win in our series. Not because of the return (other slips have paid more). But because the bettor predicted the exact same scoreline in five different matches. And got every single one right.

Breaking Down the 5-Leg Slip
Five English Championship matches. One prediction: 2-1. Five times.
| # | Match | Prediction | Odds | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Millwall vs Bristol City | 2:1 | 9.70 | 2-1 |
| 2 | Portsmouth vs Charlton | 2:1 | 9.90 | 2-1 |
| 3 | West Brom vs QPR | 2:1 | 9.00 | 2-1 |
| 4 | Leicester City vs Derby County | 2:1 | 9.60 | 2-1 |
| 5 | Wrexham vs Preston | 2:1 | 9.70 | 2-1 |
The simplicity is striking. Same scoreline. Same league. Same market. Just five matches, and the fewest legs of any winner in our series.
The Odds Behind the Win
Combined implied probability: 1 ÷ 80,480.82 = 0.0012%
That's roughly 1 in 80,481 attempts.
For context: you're more likely to be struck by lightning in a given year (1 in 15,300) than to land this exact 5-leg correct score accumulator. The bettor needed five separate 10% probabilities to all land simultaneously. For a deeper dive into how compound probability shapes accumulator payouts, see our guide to how betting odds work.
The 2-1 scoreline is the most common "decisive" result in English football, but even so, it only occurs in roughly 10-12% of matches. Five in a row is extraordinary. The only other winner in our series to use correct score markets is the ₦37.5M winner, who used Multi Correct Score across 18 legs.
What This Win Actually Means
Five legs. ₦200 stake. ₦17 million return. This is the minimalist masterpiece of our Winners series, proof that you don't need 40 legs to win big. You just need the right market and an extraordinary amount of fortune.
Responsible gambling reminder: Accumulator wins like this are statistical outliers, not strategies. The Correct Score market is particularly high-risk. Never stake money you can't afford to lose. If betting stops being fun, contact the National Lottery Regulatory Commission helpline or visit BeGambleAware.org.
