5,000-1 SHOT ... but Sean Monaghan hopes a penguin will turn up on South Shields beach on Christmas Day.Sean Monaghan was given odds of 5,000/1 that a penguin will turn up on South Shields beach on Christmas Day after he had a premonition.
The 45-year-old, from Washington, put a pound on at William Hill – and is set to have a merry Christmas if the bet comes off.
William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe said: “Mr Monaghan decided to risk £1 on his hunch coming up trumps – and £5,000 would certainly pay for a few cinema tickets to see the new penguin film, Happy Feet2.
“Initially he asked for one specific penguin to find his way to South Shields, but we decided to widen the bet out to include any wild penguin of any description who just happens to wander along.
“Now all he has to do to collect £5,000 is pick up a penguin!”
