A keen punter won a staggering $100,000 on Saturday after taking out Bet365’s pick 6 competition.
The competition involves picking six winners from a selection of races, with prizes paid out if you pick four, five or six winners.
The more you pick right, the more cash you collect. The races on Saturday were 7,8,9 at Caulfield and Randwick.

The punter’s longest hope was Crystal Clear in the Ajax Stakes, which was priced $5.50.
