Rupert Adams, a spokesman for William Hill told The Sun: “Some of our racing traders have been in the game for 40 years and none of them can remember such an astonishing bet that so nearly cost us a million.

“A few were almost having heart attacks watching the final race, but the punter inside all of us was cheering on the lady’s last selection and it was in front for a long way.

“But I am not sure if the boss would approve of that. It was every punter’s bet of a lifetime – winning a fortune for less than a fiver.

“A few quid outlay and the lady has a new house – talk about finding your dream home.”

Mr Adams said the woman likes to occasionally “bet for fun” and chooses her horses based on their names.
