Griffin Carroll's winning ticket. Griffin Carroll

Holy cow, our $7941.52 lotto parlay ticket won!

We actually did it!! Saturday, we highlighted four legs for our weekly NFL lottery ticket. I loved the looks (duh), and I was feeling confident going into Sunday.

Our players:

  • Zack Moss 75+ rushing yards
  • Mike Evans 100+ receiving yards
  • Keenan Allen 100+ receiving yards
  • James Cook 100+ rushing & receiving yards

Fast forward, and we're late in the fourth quarter and only needing 14 measly yards from Keenan Allen. Thank the heavens the Titans scored late to force the Chargers to go to the air. And go to the air they did. Allen caught exactly a 14-yard pass. I'm so excited i can't even type: all that comes out is "dskgjnsdlkgndlskngdslng." Phone starts going nuts, I start going in shock. 100 is too scary, we need some insurance yards. Boom, next play they go right back to him for more. "dkgjhdskgndsflknglfdngdf." WOOOOO.

$20 in, $7,941.50 out. 

Mike Evans was easy, he finished with 171 yards and nearly hit at half-time. Allen was also feeling good at halftime with 65 yards.

Cook had 60 yards at the half, and the Bills really started leaning on him in the second in a blowout.

We may have gotten lucky with Moss, who wasn't too involved until Anthony Richardson left early with a concussion. It was the Moss show from then on out. 

Griffin Carroll's winning ticket. Griffin Carroll.

I am so fired up!! This was the biggest win of my betting life, and I and we sure hope some others joined the ride once they saw yesterday's piece!

This really started feeling like a real possibility in the second quarters of the early game. All our guys were getting involved, and all the game-scripts suggested more was on the way.

Deep breath, deep breath. We freaking did it. My one complaint? Get your act together, Bet365. It has taken hours for you to correctly settle this winning bet. This experience alone is enough to stay off this sportsbook moving forward.

See you next week.
