Lucky Typo: Australian Bettor Accidentally Nets Over $600,000

By virtue of a typo, one lucky Australian bettor came away with winnings of $621,840 last Saturday. According to sportscasting.com, the bettor intended to place a $600 quinella box wager on five horses at Newcastle Racecourse. Instead, the bettor placed $6,000 on the same wager, hoping that two of his five selections would finish first and second in the race.

His five selections were relative longshots, at odds of: 151-1, 41-1, 35-1, 19-1, and 6.5-1. The 35-1 chance finished first, and the 41-1 chance was second, paying out odds of 103 to one.

The lucky bettor expected to make $62,000 on his successful wager, but was surprised to see his account rewarded with a final sum of $621,840.

If he had lost, the bettor would have lost an extra $5,400. Instead, the typo earned him over $550,000!
