A man who has taken Betfred to court could finally receive his £1.7million payout.
Andrew Green, from the Lincolnshire village of Washingborough, has been battling for his winnings for more than two years.
He celebrated for five days straight when he won £1.7million in a blackjack game, which Betfred blamed on a ‘software glitch’.
Mr Green said it had been an ‘absolute nightmare’ trying to get the betting company to pay him his winnings, Lincolnshire Live reports.
The single dad claims no evidence has ever been presented to confirm the website software problem and now is suing the company at the High Court next week.
He said: “They have no reason not to pay me in my opinion. If there was a glitch, that’s between Betfred and the software provider.
