Lotto Les continues lucky streak

Duty Paid at Ascot helped Mr Carvell to his new windfall

Lottery millionaire Les Carvell thought he had used up his good luck with a jackpot £1.1m win.

But the 63-year-old, from Essex, has beaten the odds again to pocket another £74,500, from a £5 bet on the horses.

Mr Carvell, a former train driver from Romford, told The Sun: "I thought my good luck might have finished when I won the lottery - but I still have my lucky streak."

He left bookies at The Chase in Romford "trembling" when all five horses in a £5.20 accumulator bet were first past the post on Saturday.

"I couldn't believe it when I realised how much I had won

After being presented with his latest winnings on Tuesday, Mr Carvell said he had to keep pinching himself to believe it happened.

The odds against his Lottery win in 1998 were 14m to one.

On Saturday his Super Yankee bet beat combined odds of 740,000 to one.

"I couldn't believe it when I realised how much I had won," said Mr Carvell.

"I had to go down the bookies to check my maths were right.

Daughters' share

"I have to admit my local bookies start trembling when they see me coming."

His first selection, Duty Paid, got the ball rolling when the horse won on day five of the Ascot race meeting.

He then had to wait more than five hours before his fifth choice, Man of Distinction, was first past the post at Lingfield Park.

Mr Carvell did not tell his three daughters about his latest win until he had the cheque in his hands, but all three will be given a share of his windfall.

Wimbledon bet

He said has no secret winning formula.

"I just seem to win. Even when I won the lottery it was on the lucky dip," said Mr Carvell.

He is steering clear of laying any money on the World Cup, but is flying the flag for Wimbledon.

"I'm definitely going to put £50 down on Tim Henman," he added.
