In October 2010, Michael Elliott, 56, from Brechin in Scotland, wrote himself into the history books by being the first ever £3 million winner on The Football Pools, scooping himself a massive £3,001, 511. Michael’s win, the biggest in Football Pools history, has AFC Fylde player, Matt Walwyn to thank for his win, after the striker scored twice in the last ten minutes of a game to secure the eighth high score draw. Mr Elliott said, "I cannot believe it. It is a dream come true. To say this is a life-changing experience would be the understatement of the year. I have played the Pools for many years and have won three times before, although my biggest previous win was £32. We are still in a state of shock and it’s going to take a little time before everything finally sinks in.”
