DraftKings bettor could turn 2,500 dollars into 1.7 million if Spurs vs. Thunder game goes his way
· Yahoo Sports
Most sports bettors dream of turning a small wager into a life-changing payday. One DraftKings Sportsbook customer is now just one game away from doing exactly that. A bettor who placed a futures parlay back on February 14 is now holding a ticket that could pay out an incredible $1,713,200 if the San Antonio Spurs defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 7 of the NBA Western Conference Finals on Saturday night. The most remarkable part? The bettor started with just a $2,500 wager.

The four-leg futures parlay was placed at +68528 odds and required several unlikely outcomes to become reality. So far, three of the four selections have already hit:
- Team USA men’s hockey to win Olympic gold (+180)
- Michigan to win the NCAA men’s basketball championship (+500)
- New York Knicks to win the Eastern Conference (+330)
- San Antonio Spurs to win the Western Conference (+850)
The ticket has already survived months of competition:
- Team USA captured the Olympic gold medal in men’s hockey (Feb 22nd)
- Michigan won the NCAA national championship game (Apr 6th)
- The Knicks just won the Eastern Conference Finals earlier this week (May 25th)

Not Cashing Out?
In a recent interview, the bettor explained why he has no plans to cash out the ticket before Game 7. While many bettors would gladly take a guaranteed payout and eliminate the risk, this bettor has chosen to let the wager ride.
Considering the ticket was built around long-shot futures and has already survived three successful outcomes, he believes it is worth taking one final chance at the full prize.
Everything now comes down to one basketball game. If the Spurs can defeat the Thunder and win the Western Conference, a $2,500 bet will become more than $1.7 million. If not, one of the most remarkable futures parlays of the year will come up just one leg short.
