BARROW'S 86th-minute strike may have earned the League Two side three points against Colchester on Saturday.
But it earned this lucky Ladbrokes customer a whole lot more — £37,316.48 to be precise!
The bettor staked a tenner on a monster 14-fold football accumulator, with each game needing Over 2.5 Goals scored at odds of 3,731/1.
The bet itself would've returned a tidy £29,031.15, had the customer not have opted to use Ladbrokes' Odds Boost feature, which added a whopping £8,285.33 onto his winnings.
The majority of selections came in with relative ease, though he entered the final ten minutes with Dagenham & Redbridge vs Rochdale and Colchester vs Barrow both locked at 1-1.
Frank Vincent pulled one back for Dagenham & Redbridge in the 81st minute, leaving our punter needing just one goal to complete this life-changing acca.

The seconds ticked along before George Ray scrambled the ball over the line in the 86th minute to give the visitors a 2-1 lead.
The punter was probably too busy celebrating to take notice that Ray grabbed another before Zach Mitchell's own goal made it 4-1 to Barrow, not that it mattered!
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "Colchester v Barrow might've looked like one of the easier selections on paper with the match finishing 4-1 to the visitors.
"But it one definitely squeaky bum time in our plucky punter's house as the game headed into the final few minutes.
"We're assuming a George Ray Barrow shirt is going to be the first thing on our customer's shopping list!"
