This Saturday, you could win £15 million on horseracing’s very own lottery.  The Scoop6 – a bet which gives you the chance to win a life-changing amount for a £2 stake – has not been won for 12 weeks resulting in the total prize fund rising to the record breaking amount.

Jamie Aitchison, Channel 4’s Commissioning Editor for Sport, says: “We’re delighted that we are in the position to broadcast what could be a historic moment in horseracing.  Everyone one at Channel 4 has their fingers crossed for the punters out there.  We hope that by the time we finish on Saturday, that there is a very happy, multi-millionaire viewer!”

Fred Done, BetFred Chairman, says: “We are delighted to have a life changing amount – we want to make millionaires.  It’s great for racing and we would like to thank Channel 4 for their support and cooperation.”
