One bettor only needed $30 and a bit of change to win nearly $2 million over the weekend thanks to an MLB parlay.
Hard Rock Bet confirmed a customer from Florida turned a $30.11 stake into a $1.98-million payout with a six-leg home run parlay that was placed on Friday and settled on Saturday.
Key Takeaways
- Each leg of the parlay had odds ranging from +325 to +800.
- No odds boosts or rewards tokens were used on the parlay.
- Hard Rock confirmed it's the longest odds to net a seven-figure payout in its history.
Hard Rock Bet confirmed the jaw-dropping win – the longest odds of a seven-figure parlay payout in the company’s history – in a post shared on its social media accounts on Saturday evening.

This is what a PERFECT parlay looks like 🤯 pic.twitter.com/16ITjGType
The parlay’s odds were an astronomical +6,576,031, or one-in-65,761.31. To put that in perspective, the odds of being struck by lightning are more than four times greater than cashing that parlay.
Impressively, the ticket did not utilize any free bets or profit boosts, and it was not a same-game parlay, where odds are more easily inflated.
Cashing the parlay required the six following players to go yard:
- Riley Greene (+475)
- Coby Mayo (+800)
- Jesus Sanchez (+700)
- Bryce Harper (+475)
- Jazz Chisholm Jr. (+550)
- Nick Kurtz (+325)
The previous record for the longest seven-figure parlay win was 21,424x, meaning that this ticket was more than three times more improbable.

“We're Jazz'd up over this slip,” said Neil Walsh, senior vice president of sportsbook at Hard Rock Bet. “One of the highest odds parlays that we've ever paid out – with only six legs! And the smallest ever stake that's minted a million-dollar payout.
“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.”
Just a casual
Big-buck professional bettors are often the ones who produce six- and seven-figure payouts. This bettor was not one of them.
According to Hard Rock Bet, the account from which the parlay was placed belonged to a “recreational bettor” whose ticket was nothing other than “conviction and luck.”
Chisholm was happy to contribute to the big win, when informed of the parlay.
"Am I getting a cut?" the Yankees infielder joked to Randy Miller of NJ.com.
MLB bettors looking to get into the action will enjoy an eight-game slate on Monday, with games beginning from 6:10 to 10:10 p.m. ET.
