Fan’s £1 Million Jackpot Dreams Shattered as Liverpool Win 2-0
A heartbroken fan was left with a life-changing sum of £6,000 after correctly predicting five Premier League scores, just one Liverpool win away from a £1 million jackpot.
Morris, a 27-year-old from Wolverhampton, was on the cusp of becoming a millionaire after correctly predicting Manchester City 4-1 Ipswich Town, Spurs 4-0 Everton, Crystal Palace 0-2 West Ham, Aston Villa 0-2 Arsenal, and Bournemouth 1-1 Newcastle.
However, his dreams were shattered as Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Brentford denied him the life-changing prize. Morris needed Liverpool to score three goals without reply to win the jackpot, but despite Luis Diaz opening the scoring in the 13th minute and Mo Salah making it 2-0 in the 70th minute, the Reds failed to add to their tally.
Sky Bet’s ‘Super 6’ contest offered Morris a consolation prize of £6,000, which is still a significant amount, but it’s a far cry from the £1 million he was hoping for. Fans took to social media to express their sympathy for Morris, with many calling for Sky to increase the payout.
One fan wrote, "Deserves at least 100k for that," while another said, "Could at least double it for him." A third fan opined, "Deserves more than that surely get the purse strings loosened." A fourth simply added, "Sickener that."
The result highlights the unpredictability of football and the importance of a single goal in determining the outcome of a match. Morris’s near-miss serves as a reminder that even the most confident predictions can go awry.
