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<\/a> defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a> in Game 7 of the NBA<\/a> Western Conference Finals on Saturday night. The most remarkable part? The bettor started with just a $2,500 wager.<\/p>\n

\"\"Three Legs Have Already Cashed<\/p>\n

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:<\/p>\n

The ticket has already survived months of competition:<\/p>\n

Not Cashing Out?<\/p>\n

In a recent interview<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
