“It just doesn’t happen, does it? It was one in a million. And to watch that, the 147, I was shaking when he got to the last few colours. Just over the moon.
“I’m going to spend the money on a cruise. I’ll have to give my son, Ian, some because it was down to him, all of this. Then just enjoy it – it’s a lovely amount of money to just have drop on your lap. I just can’t believe it.”
Speaking about Allen’s 147 maximum break, a Midnite spokesperson added: “We promised one lucky snooker fan per session £25,000 if a 147 was hit at the 2025 World Championship – and we’re delighted to play our part in Brian’s big cash prize.
