Sam Armytage might have discovered one of the few silver linings in a Donald Trump victory.

As the votes mounted in favour of the Republican candidate this afternoon, theSunrisehost Tweeted that she had wagered on him winning earlier this year.

“Would now be a good time to confess that, 6 months ago, I (randomly) put $100 on Trump to win,” she wrote.

“He was paying 100-1…………..”

But despite the likely windfall, Armytage isn’t celebrating the outcome.

In fact, she commented below the post that it was bet she would have been “happy to lose”.

The 40-year-old’s followers sympathised with the bittersweet (but mostly bitter) side of her win.

Don't worry, Sam.

Money might not bring happiness, but it certainly can't hurt on a day like today.
