    Any idea what the bet was Tony? Quite surprising to see a bookie allow that much from one bet.

    At a guess it will be the casino.

    Michael Clark, was bored at home in Newcastle when he opened the Betfred app to try his luck.

    After he played for half an hour,     the 32-year-old thought he won £5,000 but on closer inspection realised the sum was in the millions.

    It was.
    Mind boggling, £1.40, and half an hour.

    And on recalling the decision to play the slots, Michael says that he was left feeling bored with all the post-Christmas TV repeats, and so instead opted to have a go on the slots game.

    He went on to win the life changing £5.4 million from a £1.40 spin on the King Kong slot game – Betfred’s biggest ever payout.

    The 32-year-old said: “I was on it for probably 20 or 30 minutes or so and just kept on winning until I found myself playing for the jackpot. At first I thought we’d won £5,000, which was a great amount, but then I realised there were more numbers showing on my phone. I just couldn’t believe that I’d actually won so much.

    “We thought it must have been a mistake at first, and then we started hugging each other when we realised it was real. I just couldn’t stop crying, and there was no way I was going to go to sleep that night having won such an enormous amount of money.

    Michael, who worked on minimum wage terms at a mental health unit, and Sherelle, who is a carer for her grandmother, have also shared some of their good fortune with a rough sleeper in Newcastle city centre, paying for him to stay the night in a hotel.
