Family cash in Grand National Red Rum bet from 1974 - BBC News
A family have cashed in a bet on Red Rum winning the Grand National 43 years ago - after discovering an unclaimed betting slip. Bob Holmes found evidence of the £1 bet while going through his late father-in-law's paperwork. Through a shop code, William Hill found that the bet had been placed at odds of 11-1, meaning a payout of £12.
