What could you do with 20p? Not much, you’d think, in the modern British economy. You couldn’t even buy a Freddo.
Well, one fan managed to trade their 20p for almost £1,200 after pulling off a gargantuan Bet Builder on this week’s Champions League action.
The lucky punter made a 16-leg multi-match bet across Aston Villa’s trip to RB Leipzig and Atalanta’s clash with Real Madrid on Tuesday night.
Against the odds, all the elements of their venture came in and they were celebrating a £1,173.39 pay-out from Paddy Power.
Both Villa and Madrid held on to take away 3-2 wins and that proved especially useful for the English side, who now sit fifth in the league phase standings.
Ross Barkley secured the winning goal for Villa in the 85th minute and, due to Paddy Power’s Super Sub offer, the fan was able to count that for a Youri Tielemans Shot on Target after the Englishman replaced him.

Jhon Duran also replaced Ollie Watkins and bagged a second-half goal as part of the punt
The Super Sub rule keeps a bet going even if a player selection gets taken off – after all, they can still come on and score a winner.
Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 goals were easy bankers on the night and John McGinn’s early goal hit a key score or assist market.
The two goalkeepers did their part too, as Emiliano Martinez made the 3+ saves required, and his opposite number Peter Gulasci made 4+.
However, the real bit of brilliance came via the Super Sub, as Jhon Duran netted off bench to complete an Ollie Watkins 2+ Shots on Target leg – alongside Barkley’s heroics.
Things were slightly more straightforward over in Italy as Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham all stepped up with goals in Bergamo, landing their Shot on Target legs for the punter.
Ademola Lookman was a pest for Real Madrid defence all night, and his goal came from one of three shots on target to bring home the priciest leg of the bet.
