Woman bets $18 on five horse races, wins $1.2 million
Margaret Reid, a US-based woman who correctly predicted winner of five derbies, has won $1.2 million on a bet of just $18. While the final Derby-winning horse had good winning odds of 3-1, Reid picked a horse with 40-1 odds in one of the other races. Reid's winnings were nearly comparable to the winning horse, whose owners collected $1.4 million.
