Who said that the PMU was not a game of chance? While most horse racing bettors spend hours combing through specialized newspapers before betting on a race, others play PMU as they would Loto. This is the case of a Lille woman who saw her perseverance rewarded with a very big win.
The Grand Prix of the President of the Republic was run on Sunday at Auteuil. It is on this race that the player from Lille bet two euros to play a Quinté +. A bet recorded in the bar-tabac PMU le Nimrod, in Lille.
She always played the same numbers
According to several media, the player is a regular at this establishment where she always played the same numbers in Quinté + instead of choosing her horses carefully. This did not prevent her from being “also a horse racing bettor of PMU bets which call on her sagacity”, specifies the PMU to 20 minutes.
It is therefore a real stroke of luck which brought it the sum of 1,078,992 euros by touching Quinté + in order. Enough to infuriate professional bettors since such sums are rare, all the more so since the reform of the PMU in 2018. Note that before this reform, the biggest gain had been won in 2011 by a Breton, who had pocketed more than 10.5 million euros in Quinté + for a bet of 2 euros.
