Many punters will be counting their fortunes after Vow and Declare's historic 2019 Melbourne Cup win, but there's one in particular you can guarantee will be celebrating hardest.
Shortly after the Australian bred horse claimed the 159th edition of the race, TAB shared the details of a stunning three-leg multi one lucky punter managed to pull off.
The bet, placed back in February, with $20 at $4522.50 paid out more than $90,000.
It included Richmond to win the AFL premiership ($5), the Sydney Roosters to win their second consecutive NRL premiership ($4.50) and Vow and Declare to win the Melbourne Cup at a whopping $201.
How good! One punter is celebrating after turning a $20 Multi (@ $4522.50) into a $90,450 collect! 🤑👇

Meanwhile, another Sportsbet user will have been over the moon with the top four shake up that resulted from the post-race protest.
They pocketed almost $800,000 off a $10 bet on a first first-four prediction with Vow and Declare winning, Prince of Arran claiming second, Il Paradiso to place third and Master of Reality to finish fourth.
Whilst Master of Reality was past the post in second, jockey Frankie Dettori was penalised after the race for allegedly bumping Il Paradiso on the inside and causing an interference.
The placings were therefore altered, meaning the lucky punter's bet eventually came off.
