₦2,000. Twenty-six selections. Combined odds of 6,320.14. One Bet9ja punter turned a modest stake into ₦24,269,352.57.
The original return was ₦20.2 million. Then betBOOM kicked in and pushed it to ₦24.3 million.
What makes this slip remarkable isn't just the size. It's the one massive longshot buried inside an otherwise conservative slip: Ajax at 5.50 away at Villarreal. That single pick multiplied the entire slip's odds by nearly 6x.

The Odds Behind the Win
Strip out the Ajax pick and the remaining 25 legs produce combined odds of roughly 1,149. That one 5.50 selection multiplied the slip's payout by 5.5x.
Combined implied probability: 1 ÷ 6,320.14 = 0.016%
That's roughly 1 in 6,320 attempts.
The Como at 2.88 pick (away at Lazio) was another bold call. Lazio lost 0-3 at home, a result very few would have predicted. Two longshots. Both landed.
Market Strategy
The slip's backbone is Over 1.5 Goals, the safest Over/Under threshold. Most top-league matches clear this line. But the bettor didn't stop there:
- ✓Over/Under: 15 legs, the foundation of the slip
- ✓1X2: 8 legs, including two massive upsets (Ajax 5.50, Como 2.88)
- ✓Double Chance: 3 legs, safety-first selections on matches where the bettor wasn't certain of the winner
What This Win Actually Means
This is a masterclass in controlled risk. Twenty-three safe legs. Two calculated longshots. One Double Chance safety net. The bettor knew when to be conservative and when to be bold. For tips on structuring mixed-market accumulators like this, see our accumulator tips guide. The ₦44M winner used a similar 26-leg structure with Over 1.5 as the backbone.
Responsible gambling reminder: Accumulator wins like this are statistical outliers, not strategies. 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.
