A Wellington lawyer has beaten 6.3 million people to be crowned winner of online football competition, Fantasy Premier League.

Adam Levy topped the worldwide ladder after 38 matches, winning a seven‑night holiday to the UK, including VIP tickets to two Premier League games next season.

The free competition sees people select a squad of 15 players, within a budget of £100m.

Each week the Premier League stars are awarded points based on their performance in real life (for example, points awarded for goals scored, assists, or clean sheets kept).
