London, 11 February 2015 – COLOSSUS BETS, home of the £10,000,000 Colossus and the world’s biggest football and sports jackpots, today announced that one player in its £2,000,000 correct score Pick 6 ‘Millionaire’ game is currently debating a £104,000 Fractional Cash-In offer from a £4 ticket, ahead of tonight’s Premier League fixture between Chelsea and Everton.
If the player resists the Cash-In offer he needs a Colossus Bets ‘Any Other Home’ win (i.e. Chelsea to win and score at least 4 goals) to land £689,000, with a risk free shot at winning the same amount again by picking the correct score in the bonus leg – next Tuesday’s Champions League game between Paris St-Germain and Chelsea.
Colossus Bets COO David O’Reilly said: “It must be an intense day for this person to decide should he for example, bank £50,000 now for half of the ticket and play on for almost £700,000 more, or should he sit tight and pray Chelsea steamroll an out of form Everton side.”
The £4 ticket currently has a Cash-In offer of £104,000, which can be taken in full or in part before kick off tonight. A ‘fractional’ Cash-In of the ticket enables the player to sell any 10% part whilst retaining the remainder of the ticket to play for a correspondingly reduced share of the jackpot prize. The player will also receive a new offer at half-time in tonight’s match provided he does not sell the ticket in full before then.
The £2,000,000 ‘Millionaire’ is available on www.colossusbets.com on both Desktop/Web as well as a customized smartphone and tablet experience on Mobile Web. Like all Colossus Bets pools it can be played on partner sites including Betfair, Betdaq and Boylesports.
A full unit in the ‘Millionaire’ pool costs players £2, but like all Colossus pools, the ‘Millionaire’ can be played for as little as 20p (which buys a 0.1 unit and plays for a proportional £200,000).

About Colossus Bets
Colossus Bets was founded by Bernard Marantelli, a professional gambler who after winning significant sums from multi-leg bets around the world, decided jackpot pools were not run optimally. After failing to convince incumbent operators to improve their product offering to generate bigger pools, he set up Colossus Bets to provide lottery-sized jackpot pools on a weekly basis. The company’s B2C offering was launched in August 2013 and since then Colossus Bets has signed 16 B2B agreements for the distribution of its pools to the end players of its operator partners. Operators who have already gone live to offer Colossus Bets pools to their own end players include Betfair, Betdaq and BoyleSports, with a series of others scheduled to go live in 2015.
