A gambler missed out on a £1 million pay out - because of one kick of a football.
Mick Dunning, 52, was all set for a life of luxury after coming up trumps on a £2 accumulator bet.
The builder correctly guessed 14 correct footie scores on Saturday - putting him within one result of netting £1m.
And with 15 minutes left on the clock and Port Vale 1-0 down against Blackpool, a penalty decision meant he was within reach of his 15th correct prediction of a draw.
But the spot kick was blasted wide by Vale's Tony Dinning.
That meant Mick's £1m payout plummeted to £22,315 with Blackpool winning the tie.
"I'm not bitter -you can't cry over something you never had," Mick told The Sun.
Mick, of Wimblebury, Staffs, says he will use the cash to pay off a few debts and take a luxury holiday.
