Broward bettor risks $30 — and walks away with $2M on long-shot MLB parlay

A bettor in Broward County turned a $30 wager into a nearly $2 million payout with a six-leg Major League Baseball home run parlay, according to Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook.

The bet, placed just after 7 a.m. on Friday, April 24, won $1.98 million after all six players selected hit a home run that night, officials said in an April 26 news release.

The $30.11 bet ended up being the longest-odds seven-figure parlay payout in Hard Rock Bet history, according to the news release.

The Coral Springs resident, whose name was not released publicly, needed homers from Jazz Chisholm Jr. (New York Yankees), Nick Kurtz (Athletics), Riley Greene (Detroit Tigers), Coby Mayo (Baltimore Orioles), Jesús Sánchez (Toronto Blue Jays) and Bryce Harper (Philadelphia Phillies), which combined for total odds of +6576031, or 1-in-65,761.31.

Chisholm, who began his career with the Miami Marlins, homered in the fourth inning against the Houston Astros to secure the massive payout. “I’m happy for the guy. Hopefully he has a family that he’s just trying to take care of with the money,” Chisholm told NJ.com.

Greene’s homer at 7:11 p.m. was the first leg to cash, with Chisholm’s shot coming at 9:15 p.m.

“We’ve handled some massive winners, but this one knocked it out of the park. It’s an all-timer … send this ticket to Cooperstown,” said Neil Walsh, Hard Rock Bet’s senior vice president.
