Man Wins Over $500,000 at Melbourne Cup Horse Races Moments After Being Dumped
[link to www.newsweek.com (secure)]

n a modern day rags-to-riches story with a twist, one Australian man turned a $10 bet into over a half-a-million-dollar payout at the Melbourne Cup on Monday.

The man, who has only been identified by the media as Kenny, correctly predicted the top four horses in the Australia's biggest race. His bet of $10—with odds of 79,300 to 1—returned $793,000 AUD (approximately $545,081 USD), reports News.com.au.

Kenny was on a date with an old high school friend having drinks at the Crown Casino. They watched the race and went to lunch, oblivious to his windfall.

Over lunch, his date said she wasn't feeling it.

"You know, this isn't going to go anywhere. I want to get the 5 o'clock train," she said. Kenny thanked her for being honest and went to check his Sportsbet account.

It turns out he only won his bet after the finish places were re-ordered following a protest.

Hmmm let's go over the reason's why she prolly "wasn't feeling it"...

She posted to her twitter she was at the races and everyone started tagging her in memes or articles about the slaughter house killing all the racehorses that just aired on ABC.

Or the Breeders Cup where "Mongolian Groom" was just sacrificed in front of a live audience of millions...
or the 36 dead horses at Santa Anita that preceded him.

Or the horse dumped with it's racing socks still on in the dumpster caught on video at Mountaineer racetrack.

Or the Australian horse racing guy supporting slaughter or not changing the law...

IDK...maybe she thought the dude was a degenerate gambler or he had one too many mint julips and started groping her.

Just because he won half a million dollars does not make him her soul mate or love of her life. He prolly loses it next week at the casino or track. Easy come...easy go...

You seriously think this story is real, not made up by the horse racing industry that pays these papers $27 million to only post positive things. This is the best they could come up with.

I bet you A WHOLE LOT of guys get dumped after taking their dates to horse racing events or greyhound racing, or dog fighting. Women don't like to see animals abused. We just don't. XOXO

It's super funny they do not mention any of the people rotting in jail right now (or killed) over their debts at the race track...I'm sure most people leave the race track with $500,000 in their pocket.

I'm sure only one in a million end up like this guy...

Over lunch, his date said she wasn't feeling it.

"You know, this isn't going to go anywhere. I want to get the 5 o'clock train," she said. Kenny thanked her for being honest and went to check his Sportsbet account.

It turns out he only won his bet after the finish places were re-ordered following a protest.

Hmmm let's go over the reason's why she prolly "wasn't feeling it"...

She posted to her twitter she was at the races and everyone started tagging her in memes or articles about the slaughter house killing all the racehorses that just aired on ABC.

Or the Breeders Cup where "Mongolian Groom" was just sacrificed in front of a live audience of millions...
or the 36 dead horses at Santa Anita that preceded him.

Or the horse dumped with it's racing socks still on in the dumpster caught on video at Mountaineer racetrack.

Or the Australian horse racing guy supporting slaughter or not changing the law...

IDK...maybe she thought the dude was a degenerate gambler or he had one too many mint julips and started groping her.

Just because he won half a million dollars does not make him her soul mate or love of her life. He prolly loses it next week at the casino or track. Easy come...easy go...

You seriously think this story is real, not made up by the horse racing industry that pays these papers $27 million to only post positive things. This is the best they could come up with.

I bet you A WHOLE LOT of guys get dumped after taking their dates to horse racing events or greyhound racing, or dog fighting. Women don't like to see animals abused. We just don't. XOXO

LMAO! Now there is a conspiracy by the racing industry to plant stories about people who win money playing the races?

Good God! Get a grip!

n a modern day rags-to-riches story with a twist, one Australian man turned a $10 bet into over a half-a-million-dollar payout at the Melbourne Cup on Monday.

The man, who has only been identified by the media as Kenny, correctly predicted the top four horses in the Australia's biggest race. His bet of $10—with odds of 79,300 to 1—returned $793,000 AUD (approximately $545,081 USD), reports News.com.au.

Kenny was on a date with an old high school friend having drinks at the Crown Casino. They watched the race and went to lunch, oblivious to his windfall.

Over lunch, his date said she wasn't feeling it.

"You know, this isn't going to go anywhere. I want to get the 5 o'clock train," she said. Kenny thanked her for being honest and went to check his Sportsbet account.

It turns out he only won his bet after the finish places were re-ordered following a protest.

It sounds like she started feeling it after she saw his account at $500,000.

Kenny said everyone at the restaurant was staring at him, wondering what was wrong, including his date. She told him to sit down and he asked her to look at the Sportsbet account, too.

"Then she started screaming," Kenny said with a laugh.

"The five o'clock train turned into a seven o'clock train. She kept going to the bar and getting more drinks," he said

If you can say “Yes” to a first date, you can say “Yes” to a first date winning 500k.
