Melbourne Cup 2020: Bishopdale punter now a millionaire thanks to $30 bet
A lucky Melbourne Cup punter has more than a million reasons to never forget the 2020 edition of the race after winning the biggest prize ever paid out by the New Zealand TAB on the race.
The bet, placed at the Bishopdale TAB outlet in Christchurch, returned $1.16 million for a $120 outlay.
TAB executive chair Dean McKenzie said the winning bet was the largest paid out by the TAB in recent memory.
“The retired man from Bishopdale in Christchurch placed a combination of First4 bets totalling $120. One of those combinations for $30 returned $1,168,185,” McKenzie said.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?
Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?
