OT: Man receives free $100k bet at Kentucky Derby, wins $800k
Unreal. Guy won a contest to go to the Derby and place one $100k bet on the Kentucky Derby main event. Dropped the odds from 8:1 to 7:1 because of the size of the bet.
His horse, Super Saver, won.
Fullerton’s name was drawn from more than 67,000 entries. He won a VIP trip to Kentucky Derby 136, including the opportunity for a free $100,000 “win” wager on one horse in the Kentucky Derby race.
Fullerton was ecstatic when told he was coming to Kentucky with the chance to make a life-changing wager on America’s premier horse race. “This VIP trip to the Kentucky Derby is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me,” said Fullerton. “Everybody keeps asking me who I’m going to bet on, long-shot or favorite. I’m just thrilled to be heading to Louisville where my mom lives, and while I haven’t made up my mind yet about which horse to bet the $100,000 on, I’m sure I’ll get lots of advice.”
Ridiculous. Good for him.
Wow. I placed a $5 bet on Super Saver and was going nuts when he made his move on the last turn. His celebration paled in comparison to mine and he made 20,000x what I did.
If you stirrup the IRS they will saddle some of that cash but hay he could still be financially stable if that is the mane priority.
He still gonna walk with at least around $400 K after tax any way you slice it.
^^^^
Didn't get it.
What else can ya say?
Right before the race, with help because of his bet, it moved to 7:1 so he only got $700,000 boo hoo
it went down because of his bet.
Gotta believe he can pay his bills and have some cash to live quite comfortably for a while if he takes care of the cash.....,
new toupee plz!
