A 40-year-old punter has won a record £600,000 in two weeks through internet gambling.
According to The Sun, Stephen Johnson is convinced he hit a winning streak because he gave £1 to a homeless beggar.
Hours after handing over the cash, he racked up £120,000 on a web casino.
During the next fortnight he took the total to £600,000 with intensive sessions of blackjack and roulette. His amazing run makes him officially the luckiest player in online casino gambling history.
Now Stephen, a retail manager, from Oxfordshire, is in Spain to buy a house and a new sports car.
His lucky run on the Ladbrokes site began with £120,000 winnings.
The next day he scooped £35,000 and 24 hours later he got another £45,000. He returned to win a further £165,000 and then landed several other large sums. On blackjack he was playing £2,000 a hand and on roulette he based his strategy around high numbers.
