A 31 year old single mother of three from George enjoyed a lifechanging win in the Hollywoodbets Punters’ Challenge at Fairview on Friday when the 10-1 shot Jean Paul powered home in the lucky last under Yuzae Ramzan to cap eight winners and bank a lifechanging R830 000 all-or-nothing jackpot prize.
Playing under her game-name of Awas111, the thrilled Hollywoodbets fan, who prefers to remain anonymous, said that she was gobsmacked and over the moon with a prize that would literally change her life.
She enjoys the honour of being the first female to win the Hollywoodbets Punters’ Challenge!
Awas111 selected all eight winners on the Fairview card and was one of 19 players going into the final race with a chance of winning big in the popular competition, that has created a host of big winners.
The happy winner works as a General Assistant in the Garden Route town and said that her Dad Ashley, who lives with her and her three children in a modest wendy-house, was her guide and mentor with the horseracing selections.
“I enjoy horseracing and playing the numbers with Hollywoodbets. My Dad always reminds me to play the Hollywoodbets Punters’ Challenge and I am speechless right now! I am going to buy a house and give my children a better future,” she added happily.
The winning jackpot amount is calculated by the number of starters on the card – at Fairview there were 83 – multiplied by a factor of R10 000.
Had she taken up the opportunity of spending a minimum of R50 on the programmatically generated betslip, Awas111 would have seen her payout doubled and been R1 660 000 richer on Friday evening!
“I have now learnt a lesson – take a chance and spend the R50 will be my philosophy in future!” she added with a lilt in her voice.
The Hollywoodbets Punters’ Challenge is upping the ante for Saturday’s Gold Challenge raceday at Hollywoodbets Greyville.
There will be a guaranteed R100 000 to be split among the top 50 on the leaderboard on the day, as well as an estimated jackpot of over R1 million for the player/s who can find all the winners on the day!
It’s important to secure the Bet Slip Bonus so that, unlike Awas111, the daily prize money, as detailed above, and for all finishing positions, will be doubled. So suddenly the guaranteed sum is R200 000 and the all-or-nothing jackpot is R2 million or more.
To do so, players must have had a bet on the Punters Challenge Bet Slip, to the value of R50 or more, prior to the running of the first race.
