With the College Football season and NFL in full swing, bettors have a ton of options every weekend to wager on.
Over this past weekend, one lucky individual decided to drop down $65k on a 6-leg football parlay with a huge, nearly $3 million pay out.
It started on Saturday with Minnesota easily handling Michigan State with a 34 -7 victory and Arkansas covering against Texas A&M. Things got interesting on Sunday as both Indianapolis and Jacksonville won their respective games despite being underdogs. Green Bay squeaked out a victory in Tampa Bay 14-12, meaning five out of the six have hit, with only Denver remaining at +1.5 in the Sunday nighter.
The Broncos trailed for the majority of the game as Russell Wilson and the offense could muster very little against a stingy 49ers defense. However, on their final drive of the game, Denver was able to punch it into the end zone, to take an 11-10 lead and would go on to hold on for the one-point victory and a massive pay day for one fortunate bettor.
Winning nearly $3 million on a sports wager would be life changing money for the majority of people. Considering this person has $65k to thrown down on a 6-leg parlay at odds of +4453, it is a safe assumption that they are probably doing quite well financially.
