For one ambitious Pennsylvania bettor, this will be the best $604 they ever spend. This daring 15-leg parlay placed Thursday at Valley Forge Casino struck gold, winning someone precisely $998,453.52.
The yet-to-be-identified bettor picked all favorites with one exception—Texas was even money for Thursday's Big-12 quarterfinal matchup with Texas Tech, which the Longhorns won by a single point thanks to senior guard Matt Coleman III, who sank a pair of clutch free throws in the game's final seconds. They also had to sweat out Thursday night's nail-biter between the Hornets and Pistons (Charlotte escaped with a three-point victory). To call this bet reckless would be an understatement, but once in a blue moon, a parlay of this immense magnitude will hit. As the old adage goes, it's better to be lucky than good.
If you're the anonymous FanDuel bettor who placed this absurd—and ultimately successful wager—drinks are on you tonight.
