The luckiest man in the world - hitting three massive jackpots
The father-of-three's incredible lucky streak began last Sunday while watching the US Superbowl.
To pass time between betting on the American football showpiece, Mr Modha was throwing a few pounds into an internet five-reel-slot game when he suddenly hit a £63,000 jackpot from a £5 bet.
Two days later the 44-year-old scored another huge win, scooping £25,100 after again betting only a few pounds.
Unbelievably, on Friday night only hours after the Chron revealed his current lucky streak Mr Modha hit the jackpot for a third time, winning another £25,100, in between playing online poker. He said: "At the moment I can't do anything wrong. Everything I seem to do turns to gold."
Mr Modha first hit the headlines last December when he won the $1.2million Ladbrokes Poker Million V competition, Europe's biggest poker tournament. The pharmacist, who used to work at Northampton General Hospital, had only taken up the game a year ago.
After last year's surprise tournament triumph, the Grange Park resident has decided to put his day job on hold to try his hand at becoming a poker pro, taking on the world's best in the World Series of Poker in Last Vegas this summer. As well as a keen poker player, Mr Modha enjoys sports betting and was trading American football bets on Betfair, an internet betting exchange, when his current lucky streak began. He said:
"I wasn't really concentrating on the fruit machine the first time. "I was into the Superbowl when I suddenly looked down at the screen and in the box there was a huge number. "It was fantastic and totally unexpected as I was just playing for fun."
