Further details have emerged this morning of the £2 Tote Scoop 6 punter whose brother went into a Stan James owned betting shop in Thatcham last Saturday and won £437,011.39p for 3 x £2 lines.

Name: Nick Gliddon, Age: 43, Occupation: Self employed builder; Married: wife Carla and daughters Ellie aged 8 and Lucy aged 4; Children attend Kingsclere Primary School. Nick, Carla and the girls live near Newbury the scene of tomorrow's bonus race which could see Nick add a further £1,529,525 to the £437.011.39 Nick and family won when they shared the Scoop 6 prize.

Nick and his two daughters each picked a single line for last Saturday's Scoop 6. Ellie had spent an awful long time looking at the colours so Nick told her to hurry up and just pick her favourite numbers which she did!! He then drove to Nicks brothers' house (Scott) where he dropped off the three lines including the one with Ellie's numbers.
 
Nick only placed the bet again as Scott told him it rolled over from the previous week!!  He very nearly didn't bother filling in the slip as he was taking the children for lunch. He dropped the selections off at his brothers house. Scott took the 3x £2 slips to the Stan James owned shop in Thatcham and Nick took the girls out for lunch. He didn't watch any of the races and didn't check the results oblivious to the fact that he had won a life-changing amount. He is not a regular punter.
 
At about 6pm Scott called and said he'd better get over to his as he'd won the jackpot! It was Ellie's line of numbers that was the winning ticket.

Carla came in from a Craft Fair to be told by Nick that that he'd won 437 on the Scoop 6. That's nice she said just before Xmas.......to which Nick replied "No not £437.00 but £437,000!!!!" .

Nick is one of eight ticket-holders who each won £437,011.39p last weekend with a chance of Saturday's bonus of an additional £1,529,525.
