A remarkable event has occurred in Riihimäki, as a local bettor claimed a historic win of nearly 200,000 euros in the Finnish betting game Veikkaus. This victory is notable for its inclusion of 15 hockey-related betting events, marking it as the largest of its kind in the history of Long Betting (Pitkäveto). On June 6, however, the bettor did not review the results of the games on the night they concluded, leading to a delightful surprise when he checked his account the following morning.

The man recounted his experience, stating that he was still in disbelief but was joyfully surprised when he woke up early on Saturday morning to see the funds posted in his betting account. This confirmation came a day later when the winnings were deposited into his bank account, solidifying the reality of his unexpected fortune. The specific matches that contributed to this impressive win were drawn from multiple leagues, including Finland's SM-liiga, as well as leagues in Slovakia, Denmark, and Sweden's HockeyAllsvenskan.

This type of betting ticket, which can include numerous betting events, is colloquially referred to as a “truck load.” The significant win not only provides financial benefits to the winner but also draws attention to the allure and unpredictability of sports betting, especially within winter sports. Such victories can inspire more individuals to participate in betting, further invigorating the sports betting industry in Finland.
