The punter, in line for a monster £40,000 pay out, wandered into a shop in the town on Wednesday afternoon to strike his mega-money double.
Ladbrokes spokesman, Nick Weinberg, said: "Both selections look formidable. League leaders Barca ooze talent and the All Blacks will be the side to beat in France.
"The punter will need a rugby team to carry out his winnings...We'll be sweating right through the summer if the Catalans oblige and it'll have nothing to do with the heat."
THE BET
Barcelona to win La Liga 1/3
New Zealand to win the Rugby World cup 1/2
Double evens
Pay out £40,000
