BETTING brothers Lee and Myles McNulty have won more than £550,000 from a £10 stake.
They won Tote's tentofollow horse racing competition, which is similar to fantasy football, and now plan to buy a racehorse of their own.
The pair, from North Tyneside, picked ten runners in November and have been accumulating points as their choices won in national hunt races across the country.
Father-of-two Lee, 35, said: "The last few weeks have been a nightmare, knowing we were so close to winning. We haven't been able to sleep or eat."
The horses they picked were Kicking King, Celestial Gold, Inglis Drever, Moscow Fyler, Macs Joy, Hardy Eustace, Monkerhostin, Azertyuiop, Best Mate and Rhinestone Cowboy.
