He made 12 picks and won all 12. And 8 of the 12 plays were priced at 2 to 1 or higher. The result: a $1 bet results in a $101,007 payday.
That’s one of the most incredible parlay victories we’ve ever seen. Now, since posting a screenshot of the winning ticket, the Twitter account has been deleted. It’s unclear why but some have theorized that the winner may be underage. However, BetFred, the book where the bet was placed, has stated that they have confirmed the age of the winner and he was old enough to make the bet.
How ever old the player is, it’s a lock that he’ll never have a luckier day the rest of his life.

For those who are saying why didn't he bet $5 or $100...

Every book usually has a limit as to how much you can win per bet, depending on the sport and type of bet. It's very possible to have a 20-runner parlay that will pay over a billion dollars, but if it hits, you will most likely only be getting anywhere from $25000 to $200000.

exactly. every book has its "max payout" per bet. so if he bet $100 and won 10 million, like pinocchio said, he would only get a very small % of the 10mil.
