When Andrew Green hit the £1.7m jackpot in an online casino, he never imagined it would take three years of misery and the stress of legal action to claim it.
Now, finally, the champagne will flow after the 54-year-old from Lincolnshire won his high court case on Wednesday against the gambling firm Betfred, who had refused to pay out his 2018 winnings because of a “defect” in the game.
Green will now receive his £1,722,923.54 winnings, plus interest, after a judge ruled that one of the terms and conditions set out by Betfred in the game was “just not apt to cover the circumstances of this case at all”.
