One lucky Sky Bet punter remarkably managed to win over £65k with just a £5 stake thanks to an eight-fold football accumulator.
It wasn't quite your normal acca though, with the punter opting for the 'correct score group betting' market for all eight selections.
He needed each of his teams - from LA Galaxy in the MLS to Derry City in the Republic of Ireland Premier Division - to win either 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 at odds of almost 6,276/1.
And they all obliged! Although there was drama in LA Galaxy's 1-0 victory over Montreal Impact, with Ola Kamara netting a 75th-minute winner despite his side playing for over half the game with 10 men.
That was because of talisman Zlatan Ibrahimovic received a red card for slapping Impact defender Michael Petrasso in the head!
