    The check marks are a nice touch. She probably plays bingo too.

    As long as it was less than 19,999 she's ahead for the effort.

    Best thing about this....
    Guaranteed 100% she is getting paid
    although the taxes part sucks, but she could get around that pretty easily and write many losses off....

    And this was on a parlay card, not some over the counter off the board bet.

    I imagine the odds of hitting this was higher than the payout, but I have not calculated it out

    Damn nice hit! Pretty crazy she picked the few correct dogs in NFL that hit. And Nebraska down 10 at MSU in 4th... bet she thought this $5 wager was dead in the water from the start lol!

    it should've taken you more time to type that you haven't calculated it out, than to actually calculate it out.

    32,767 to 1 is the true odds of hitting

    so she actually didn't get screwed too badly, a lot of shops have those huge parlays at MUCH lower payouts

    ties lose on that parlay also, with all those 3 and 4 point spreads the real chances of her winning were probably closer to 50,000 to 1

    The odds of hitting a 15 team parlay are 1 in 32,768

    She must have struck a deal with Satan to win her parlay

    Most books wont let you parlay more than 8 picks off the board. Most parlay cards let you parlay up to 12 or more though.

    She could probably collect enough losing sports and horse tickets throughout race and sportsbooks in vegas before January 1 to offset the win. Thats what I would be doing anyway....

    The true value here is a little over 163,000, but that's still a pretty nice payout nonetheless.

    Good for her.

    lol @ people trying to prove it was a mathematically incorrect play.

    As if she was sitting there doing the math before placing a wager of $5. Obviously it was a crap-shoot, and it hit. Risk almost nothing to win $100k, I think I'd take it.

    You guys are sitting here analyzing her lotto ticket.. This is hilarious. I'll tell you what though, I bet she's sitting there going "Why the fukk didn't I throw $10, $20..Whatever on it.." I mean $20 is not much different than $5. Hell I can't take the kids to Mcdonalds or order pizza for less than $20.
