A LUCKY blonde has won herself £1,250 pounds after putting a bet on MK Dons to beat Manchester United 4-0 – all by mistake.

Blonde moment pays off! Man Utd fan wins £1,250 from £2.50 bet on wrong team
WINNER: Holly was chuffed but sad that her bet came off but her team lost

Holly Griffiths, 20, took home her handsome payout after hoping her beloved Red Devils would triumph over the League One side last night.

But instead of choosing United to win 4-0, she accidentally put it on their opponents.

Thankfully for Holly, the underdogs went on to thrash Louis van Gaal's side in the Capital One Cup clash and her "blonde moment" earned her a tasty sum off of just £2.50.

The aviation worker, from Manchester, said: "I don't really bet - only the odd quid here and there - but my mate told me she had put on United to win 4-0, so I thought I might as well do that.

"I also put a pound on us to win 3-0 - well I thought I did but I obviously wasn't concentrating and clicked the wrong button so I bet on MK Dons."

She explained that she stopped watching the match when it got to 3-0 to MK Dons as she thought she had lost her bet and she wasn't enjoying her team getting beat.

But it was only until she went back on the Paddy Power app that she realised what happened.

"It was a weird feeling," she said.

"I wanted United to win, but I wanted MK Dons to score again so I could win the money, I couldn't watch the last 10 minutes and had to tell my friends to let me know what happened."

THRASHED: The Man United bench was left shell-shocked by the 4-0 drumming

Two goals from Will Grigg and two more from on-loan Arsenal striker Benik Afobe sunk Man Utd in a 4-0 battering, leaving Holly confused how to feel.

But she still has one big decision before sulking too much – what to spend her winnings on.

She added: "My friends were joking around saying I should give them a cut, I have taken the money out of the betting account, but I just don't know what to do with it yet.

"I haven't got a clue what I am going to spend my money on, I am still in a bit of shock, this has all happened so quickly."

The third round draw for the tournament will be held tonight as MK Dons look to continue their cup run.
