It is two weeks since an unnamed woman won more than half a million pounds with a £1 football stake. But still no one knows who she is.

The mystery mum walked off with a life-changing £574,278 from William Hill after betting a quid on a 12-team accumulator.

Rupert Adams, a spokesman for the bookmakers, said: “We have spoken to her husband and all we can say is they are presently not very keen on publicity.”

But that hasn’t stopped tongues wagging on the Isle of Sheppey where the bet was placed.

Carli Faulkner, 38, who manages the shop in Leysdown at the centre of the ‘who is it?’ saga, admitted: “It’s the talk of the town. The whole place is buzzing with people trying to guess the winner’s identity.

“Girls love it because a woman put the winning bet on the football, despite not being a big fan like her husband and son.

“Our customers are all asking who it is but we’re not telling.

“They are regulars. It is up to them to let people know if they want to.”

At Leysdown Bakery, two doors down from the bookies, Rachael Fagg, 21, and her colleague Amy Sosbe, 29, remained mystified.

Rachael joked: “We deal with a lot of dough but not that kind of dough.

“It’s just like a real-life game of Cluedo with all the village taking part.”

At Ron Wood’s fish and chip shop, his son Luke, 31, said: “We all love it when somebody batters the bookies.

“They are welcome to call in here for a celebration fish supper.

“So far nobody knows who it is. It’s only a small place – but good luck to them.”

Down the road at Playtime Amusements, manager Steve Dawson, 45, has worked in the arcade for 22 years but hasn’t seen anyone splashing out their winnings on the 200 machines under his roof.

He said: "We’re used to winners in here. We pay out up to £500. Like everybody else we all want to know who it is to congratulate them. But we haven’t heard from anybody who knows the lady with the golden ticket."

Some believe the winner may be one of the thousands of tourists who flock to Leysdown's beaches in the summer and might have a caravan on the Island.

At Harts Holiday Park, sales advisors Stuart McKay, 57, and Billy Ellis, 34, are keen to sell the winner a new holiday home.

Stuart said: "We can sort them out with something from £10,995."

Billy added: "The news was all over Facebook. But they could be a holiday home owner. Maybe that's why nobody knows who they are."

In Smith's Store opposite the bookies, boss Darren Sri, 47, said: "I have several bottles of Moet champagne in stock but haven't sold any extra ones lately.

"Everyone has been gripped by this story. We are all trying to guess who the winner is. It is a total mystery."

One of the few clues is that the 59-year-old winner’s husband is a 58-year-old taxi driver.

The biggest cab firms on the Island are Royal Taxis and Vals Cars.

But neither firm believe any of their drivers are married to the lucky lady.

Jan Stylianou, 61, who has 40 drivers and 23 vehicles at Vals Cars, said: “None of our drivers have rung in to ask for unexpected time off.

“I rang Dee, who runs Royals, as she has another 40 drivers. It was the same there.

“He may be a black cab driver. There are a lot of London cabbies who live on Sheppey.”

Everything came together for the mystery mum on Saturday November 4 when Bournemouth defender Steve Cook headed in his team's winning goal against Newcastle in extra time.
