An Israeli bettor turned a 250-shekel wager into a one million shekel prize by correctly predicting seven draws in the "Winner Millionaire" betting game. The decisive moment came during the Premier League opening match between Liverpool and Newcastle, where a dramatic 98th-minute penalty goal secured a 2-2 draw. This last-minute equalizer completed the bettor's perfect prediction card, making him the sole winner of the top prize. The game required participants to guess the outcomes of seven matches ending in draws, and while the bettor had correctly predicted six, the Liverpool-Newcastle match was the final hurdle. The late goal transformed his modest investment into a reward 4,000 times greater, highlighting the impact of a single moment in sports betting.
