A CHELSEA fan scooped the £250,000 The Super 6 jackpot – just in time for Las Vegas.
Luke, of Grimsby, became the third winner in three weeks thanks to Jamie Vardy’s 96th-minute strike for Leicester at Brighton.
His jackpot came in as he predicted a golden goal time of four minutes, just one away from Romelu Lukaku’s opener.
The Blues supporter was already set to fly out to Las Vegas for a holiday this month.
He said: “I’m ecstatic, it’s not sunk in yet. I’ve played Super 6 for years, every week and never got close before.
“I was getting ready to go out for a meal and had no idea of what had happened.

“My nephew called me up to say someone from Grimsby’s won it so I thought I’d better check my predictions. I saw it on the app, but I still couldn’t believe it.
“I heard about other two jackpot winners over the last two weeks and thought to myself, ‘it might be me one day’.

“I was lost for words when I got the call to confirm everything, I was running about the house shouting at my mum, she didn’t believe me, but she does now.
“I’d been planning to go to on holiday with my girlfriend for my 30th later this month for over a year. We’re going to San Francisco then up to Vegas, it’s the first time I’ve been and it’s going to be incredible.
“I’m also looking to move out and get a house with my girlfriend soon, so when I come back, we’ll be looking around. It’ll be incredible to buy somewhere without a mortgage.”
