Only problem? Jett Honig appears to be a high school student, set to graduate in 2025.

Gambling Twitter exploded with this legitimately insane winning ticket, and mainstream news media, including USA Today and the Sporting News, identified the winner of the bet as Jett Honig. ET, the profile included the following five-second Instagram story showing the eventual half-a-million-dollar winning ticket and the caption “Tuff,” on a backdrop showing Bleacher Report and br_betting’s tweet about the bonkers winner. (via IG / jetthonig_) /PrkaYvD7vJĬonfirmed by FanDuel, the winning ticket was first posted on the Instagram page of jetthonig_ (which FanDuel retweeted above), a page that has since been more or less locked from public viewing by the owner of the page. The most 𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗔𝗡𝗘 parlay you'll ever see, guaranteed. It’s about the most improbable bet that’s ever been won: Someone put $20 down - a $20 site credit, no less - on a parlay picking the correct, exact score of both the AFC and NFC Championship Games Sunday.Īnd when the Rams beat the 49ers 20-17 after the 7.5-point underdog Bengals beat the Chiefs 27-24 in overtime, that 28,950/1 parlay cashed to the tune of $579,020. Parlays are cash cows for the mobile sportsbooks, and the constant, daily barrage of showing us the “big winners” is certainly an effective way to get us to try and do the same.īut late Sunday night, in its rush to highlight the latest big win, FanDuel got itself a little twisted up.

And why shouldn’t they be fond of it? It’s basically the best form of free advertising: “Look here, rubes! You too can win hundreds of thousands of dollars by placing insane longshot bets, never mind the fact we profit by like 30% on your silly parlay bets compared to about 6% on straight bets!” Sportsbooks are fond of highlighting big parlay wins on Twitter.
