All five horses won their respective races, resulting in Faye winning a substantial N4.8 million from a free bet she placed with Coral, Daily Star reported.
When Faye shared her winnings online, other bettors were amazed and started asking questions. This led to Faye admitting that she didn’t know what a ‘stake’ was, responding with ‘What’s that?’.
