Whiteley took a bus to the Exeter track yesterday, got admission into the races with a free ticket, placed a 2pound bet and walked with away with a 1.5 million pound jackpot.
The 61-year-old heating engineer correctly predicted six winners in a row at the UK race track, to claim a rollover jackpot. The winning horse in the last race, Lupita, was winless in 28 previous starts and was ridden by a jockey who had yet to win a race in her life. Whiteley picked her because he liked the jockey's last name.
The "pick six" Jackpot takes place at a different track every day in Britain, but if no one wins the bet, the prize money carries over to the next day. Tuesday's prize was the largest in the history of the Jackpot. Whiteley said he would have bet more options, but couldn't afford the higher ticket price.
Whiteley admitted "I'm not a horse racing man", and has vowed not to give up his job as a heating engineer, saying: "I don't want to let people down."
The accumulator prize, which had not been won since February 27, was ?1 million at the start of the day, before growing to ?2,035,538 by the time it was won.
After tax deductions, Steve took home a staggering ?1,445,671.25.
His winners were, Semi Colon the 2-1 favourite, Black Phantom 12-1, Ammunition 16-1, Mr Bennett 16-1, Lundy Sky 5-1 and Lupita 12-1.
By the last race in his accumulator, Whiteley was the only person in the country in with a chance of hitting the jackpot! Lucky lucky man!
