Saturday's £100,000 Pick 7 jackpot has been won after a series of well-backed winners at Haydock and Lingfield.
Eight players managed to find all seven winning horses, sending the game to a tie-break question, which asks entrants to predict the winning distance of the first Pick 7 race.
In this instance, it was the 1.30 Haydock, which Waiting Patiently won by a length and a quarter, an outcome predicted by two of the eight who found every winner.
One of the winners, Leon Dolman, couldn't believe his luck.
"I was at work and had meant to check my selections, but then I got a phone call saying I'd won and I didn't believe it to be honest!" he said.
"Then I went on the app and saw all seven had won - it's an unbelievable feeling, I'm just thrilled to win.
"I play this game and the Super 6 every week and this is the first time I've won. It's brilliant."
As well as two players sharing £100,000, game sponsors Sky Bet are paying each of the remaining six players £1,000 each as a one-off consolation.
"What a dramatic conclusion to the Pick 7," said Sky Bet spokesman Michael Shinners.
"For eight players to find all seven winners is seriously impressive and the two who also correctly answered the tie-break question deserve every penny of their £50,000.
"However, to kick off an important week for us as we build towards next week's Sky Bet Chase, we're going to be generous and give the other six a cheque for £1,000 each.
Sporting Life editor David Ord added: "It goes to show that this game isn't just free, it's also very much winnable and we'll look forward to going again next Saturday."
