Warehouse operative Gaynor Baxter today told millions of TV racing fans how she scooped £57,000 with a £2 bet.
And she was keeping her fingers crossed her luck would hold as she tried to pick another winner which would land her a £175,000 jackpot.
Gaynor, 39, of Bankfoot, Bradford, won the £57,000 with her weekly £2 bet on the Tote Scoop Six last Saturday at the John Wood bookmakers in Low Moor.
Five of her horses romped home in televised races at Newmarket and Redcar and she landed the prize when her sixth horse held on to win by a short head.
Today she and her family and friends were treated to a day out at York Races by Channel Four and she was the guest tipster on the station's Morning Line programme.
And she had the chance to net a further £175,000 if she could pick the winner of the day's big race, the Coral Sprint Trophy. Gaynor and another punter, who also picked all six winners, were allowed a selection each to try and win the bonus payment.
Gaynor, who is splitting her winnings with her brother and sister, said she would be sticking with her winning formula - picking horses with jockeys she knew or names that she liked.
She said: "It's pot luck really, like winning the Lottery. I know a bit about horses but my dad and my brother know a lot more.
"I look down the list of runners and if I know the jockey I pick that one. If not I just pick a horse with a nice name."
Gaynor learned she had won when her mother called her as she relaxed at home after placing her weekly bet. "I had gone home for a couple of hours sleep because I had been working. I didn't bother watching the races. It's a good job because the last horse only just won by a nose."
The bachelor girl plans to celebrate her win by watching England's footballers play Turkey - she predicts a 3-1 win for England - but said she was going to be sensible with her winnings.
And she said one of the highlights would be meeting John McCririck on the Morning Line programme today.
"I think he's brilliant. I will pick my horse for the Sprint Trophy in the usual way an hour before the race.
"If it wins it will be a dream but as long as we have a good day out at the racecourse that's all that matters."
