Little Jasmine Munn won her mum a £1,000 wager when she beat the bookies by being born on the right day.

Her mother Donna, who endured a 25-hour labour, had placed a bet that her child would make June 9 a quadruple family celebration by sharing a birthday with her, her mother and her niece.

Donna, 36, a customer services adviser from Thornhill Rise, Mile Oak, Hove, had been trying to hold off giving birth on Saturday, to win the wager, despite her waters breaking at 5am that day.

She finally gave birth at 9am yesterday to a healthy girl she named Jasmine, weighing 8lb 15oz.

Speaking from Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton, Donna's partner, Mick Munn, 33, said: "She has won her bet but she is very tired.

"Twenty five hours of labour is not much fun.

"We both had about 20 minutes sleep.

"It's nice that she is a girl, like the others born on that date.

"I am just wondering what odds the bookies will give on her giving birth in the future on the same date - it has got to be a lot more than 20-1."

Bookmaker William Hill gave Donna those odds when she discovered she was pregnant and was initially told to expect to give birth on May 31.

However, after a second scan, Donna was given a due date of June 7. She then contacted William Hill to see if she could place a bet on the baby following in her footsteps, and those of her mother.

The chances of three generations sharing the same birthday are more than 130,000-1.

The bookmaker offered rather more conservative odds of 20-1 and Donna placed the maximum allowed bet of £50.

Mr Munn, a postal service worker, said they had not thought what to spend the winnings on.

Donna thought she would never become a mother after losing a baby last year.

Speaking yesterday, she said: "It was fated. Every time I saw a shooting star, I would wish for a child.

"I had not planned on getting pregnant and I did not think I ever would but I did last February. But I lost it in April.

"I was just getting over it when, four months on, I found out I was pregnant again.

"It was a bit of a shock and when I found out the due dates I thought, 'Good God'. So I thought I would have a bet for a bit of fun."

William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe said: "We offer our congratulations and the cheque is in the post - but I hope she does not spend it all on nappies.

"I think for 25 hours labour she deserves £1,000. She has earned it.

"It's extraordinary. It's just as well she did not have twins as she could have cost us twice as much."
