A football fan has won an incredible £1 million after correctly predicting the scores in six weekend Premier League matches. Tom Kane, from Southampton, made his predictions for the Sky Sports Super 6 competition, including a bold call that paid off in spectacular fashion.
Mr Kane’s final prediction depended on Liverpool’s 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday. As the match unfolded, the Super 6 page posted a message on X (formerly Twitter), telling Mr Kane to “keep your mobile phone handy – you’re about to receive the phone call of a lifetime.”
His remarkable run of predictions featured some dramatic results, notably AFC Bournemouth’s astonishing 3-2 comeback win over Everton, where the Cherries scored twice in the final minutes after trailing 2-0.
Here are the six Premier League results Mr Kane accurately predicted:
- Leicester City 1-2 Aston Villa
- Everton 2-3 AFC Bournemouth
- Nottingham Forest 1-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
- West Ham United 1-3 Manchester City
- Newcastle United 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur
- Manchester United 0-3 Liverpool
After Liverpool’s convincing win, the Super 6 account shared a celebratory message:
“It’s finally happened! Six correct scores! Indications suggest that #Super6 has just made one lucky player a millionaire!”
Mr Kane must have thought his chances were slim after Everton’s dominant lead, but Bournemouth’s stunning turnaround made his predictions come true. By the time Liverpool comfortably secured a 3-0 win, there was no doubt he was the competition’s latest millionaire.
The Sky Sports Super 6 is a free-to-enter game, offering participants the chance to win up to £1 million by correctly predicting the scores of six selected football matches each weekend.
It’s safe to say that Tom Kane’s weekend will be one he’ll never forget.
