       Bookmaker Betfred usually has a minimum stake of 5p but let him place it as he is a regular customer.

       George, of Sutton-in-Ashfield, Notts, and originally from Hungary, said: “I didn’t know I’d won until I checked the paper the next day.

       “I did feel good, but I can’t jump around much these days — only little jumps.

       “I’ve had some significant wins on the football over the years.

       “My ambition is to skin Betfred for a million.”

       Betfred boss Fred Done said: “I cannot remember anyone winning so much from just three pence.”
