It has been a fantastic Christmas for punters with so many football and racing favourites coming up trumps over the Festive period. Seven Paddy Power punters were left celebrating in grand style as the Hotshot Jackpot dropped on Tuesday night thanks to Liverpool’s win over Stoke in the Premier League.
Come the Liverpool v Stoke kick off on Tuesday, there were 17 punters still in the running to take a share of the £250k jackpot in the product, which asks you to predict 8 correct anytime goalscorers from select games each week. There were some late goals across the course of this week’s Hot Shot Jackpot to keep punters in the running, such as Olivier Giroud’s 86th winner against West Brom for Arsenal and Andy Carroll’s stoppage time goal against Swansea.
All 17 of their meaning selections had backed a Liverpool player to score in their home fixture against the Potters, with five having their hopes resting on Roberto Firmino, with four backing Divock Origi, another four had selected Sadio Mane, while two players had backed Daniel Sturridge with the remaining two in the running hoping for a strike from James Milner.
Firmino, who had been picked up on Christmas Eve for drink-driving, netted a goal in the 43rd minute of Tuesday’s game at Anfield, which gave punters a share of the prize. Then in the 71st minute, Daniel Sturridge was gifted a goal from Stoke’s Ryan Shawcross through a shocking back-pass, which brought up two more winners.
The Liverpool goals from Firmino and Sturridge landed seven punters a share of the £250,000 jackpot, who take home a share of over £35,000 each. The jackpot resets to the £250,000 for the next round.
