Though most of the matches were 3pm kick-offs, one friendly between Mauritania and Mozambique did not start till 7pm and the punter was left with a long wait to confirm their windfall.
Colchester Town's 95th minute goal sealed a 1-0 win over Tranmere Rovers in League Two, before the accumulator continued with confirmation that Mansfield Town had also scored in the 95th minute for a 1-2 win against Oldham Athletic in the same division.
The bets remained alive when Spain made it 2-1 over Albania in the 90th minute of their international friendly - with Albania themselves having equalised in the 85th minute.

The African nation were 1-0 ahead until the final minute, when Mozambique equalised. In the 92nd minute of injury time, Mauritania took a free kick and scored after a goalmouth scramble - netting the customer over half a million pounds.
The punter's amazing win was detailed in Tweets by Ladbrokes' PR, Alex Apati, who said it was 'without doubt the best bet I've ever seen'.
