Football fan 'crying' after finding out 'spam' call he blocked was someone trying to tell him he'd won £1m

A Welsh postman says he plans to retire after bagging the £1m jackpot on Sky's Super Six challenge.

Lee Andrews, 53, correctly guessed six score lines in the Premier League over the weekend. A Liverpool fan himself, it was Mohamed Salah's goal against Arsenal that sealed the deal for him and his free-to-play bet.

Just 0.2% of Super Six players guessed that Manchester City would win 1-0 against Southampton at home, but Lee was one of those, and his bet came in as a result.

"I didn't even know I had won it," Lee explained to Super Six. "I was looking at the wrong date on the Super 6 app, so it was telling me my score from another round! I had five or six missed calls from the Super 6 team but I thought it was spam, so I blocked the number. I only realised what was happening when my daughter told me she had seen that Super 6 were trying to contact a Lee from Swansea!

"I was crying when I found out, completely numb. We just can’t get over it. Normally with these things, you think you jump around but there wasn’t any of that.

"I am a massive Liverpool fan. I used to have a Swansea season ticket, but Liverpool are my team. I sat down to watch the game, but I didn’t know I had anything on it because I hadn’t been following my scores. This is the first week I have ever not checked! I didn’t even know it was close! When we [Liverpool] equalised, I was happy because I thought it was a good result, I had no idea I had just won Super 6.

"Both me and my wife are going to retire. My wife has already handed in her notice at Sainsbury’s. I do six days a week and walk 8 and a half miles every day it’s very difficult, especially at 53. I am really struggling with my legs now, and the thought that I don’t have to do it anymore is incredible.

"I have worked since I was 13 years of age, 40 years. I can’t wait to have a rest."

Lee’s predictions (with the percentage of Super 6 players who predicted that scoreline) were:

• Man City 1-0 Southampton (0.2%)

• Aston Villa 1-1 Bournemouth (4.8%)

• Everton 1-1 Fulham (33.5%)

• Chelsea 2-1 Newcastle (38.9%)

• West Ham 2-1 Man Utd (13.4%)

• Arsenal 2-2 Liverpool (16.8%)
