The Philadelphia Eagles’ close win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football helped a lucky bettor rake in $1.6 million in winnings.
Well-known sports bettor Marco Piemonte (@Marco_Parlay on X), wagered $40,000 in a 13-pick parlay for the chance to win $1.6 million. He hit on the first 12 and just needed the Eagles to complete the upset.
Thanks to 14 unanswered points in the second half, the Eagles pulled out a 21-17 victory in the highly-anticipated Super Bowl 57 rematch. Their win also scored a shiny $1.6 million payout for Piemonte:
The Cleveland Browns (a 13-10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers) and Denver Broncos (a thrilling 21-20 comeback win over the Minnesota Vikings) just barely squeaked out victories as well to keep Piemonte’s $1.6 million wish alive.
Luck was on his side this weekend, alright. Congratulations to Piemonte on the big victory!
