Well, the score between the Rams and 49ers held and this bettor struck big on his parlay.

How big?

Try $579,020 payout big.

Yep, by guessing the correct scores of both games — a parlay that was listed at +2895000 odds (that’s 2,859,000 to 1 chance of getting right for you non-bettors) this individual turned $20 into half a million.

Of course, there will likely be taxes that need to be paid on that, but nevertheless, it’s hard to imagine who had a better championship Sunday than this bettor.
