It was a big bet but it paid off for one lucky Kiwi in the Melbourne Cup.

A $7000 fixed odds bet on cup winner Dunaden returned $60,000 for a mystery punter in NZ.

French horse Dunaden owned by a Qatari prince only just won in a photo-finish after a tight sprint.

Here in Fiji punters started collecting their winning amount from Grants Betting Limited outlets from this morning.

Operations Manager, Vijen Sundar said Dunaden was the second favorite to win the race and a number of people placed their money on the French horse.

Sundar said they are still trying to establish the biggest payout in Fiji.
