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.

“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.
