A Broward County bettor turned a modest $30.11 flutter into nearly $2 million after a six-leg Major League Baseball home-run parlay hit on the night of Friday, April 24. The unlikely string of bombs turned an early-morning ticket into roughly a $1.98 million payout once every selected player went deep, with the operator later confirming the settlement.
In an April 26 news release from Hard Rock Bet, the winning ticket, placed from Coral Springs, required home runs from Riley Greene, Coby Mayo, Jesús Sánchez, Bryce Harper, Nick Kurtz and Jazz Chisholm Jr. Together they produced combined odds of about +6,576,031 and a listed payout of $1,980,043.01. The operator’s breakdown lays out the order and timing of each leg as it cashed.
How The Parlay Hit
The bettor locked in the six-leg home-run parlay just after 7 a.m. ET on Friday, April 24, according to reporting by the Miami Herald. Over the course of that night’s games, each of the six players left the yard, turning a small speculative play into a headline-grabbing payday for a Florida customer.
Operator Reaction And Skepticism
Hard Rock Bet’s sportsbook team acknowledged the win, and senior VP Neil Walsh called the ticket “one of the highest-odds parlays that we’ve ever paid out” and “an all-timer,” as Fox Sports reported. The combined odds worked out to roughly a 1-in-65,760 shot, which helps explain why the slip drew plenty of side-eye on social media before the operator confirmed it.
Why Florida Bettors Notice
The result turned heads across the state because Hard Rock Bet operates as the primary statewide sportsbook under the Seminole Tribe compact, a setup that shapes availability, limits and how lines are set, CBS Sports explains. With few alternate apps widely available, any oversized payout or brief app hiccup tends to spark immediate scrutiny from Florida users.
Read The Rules First
Parlays are subject to each operator’s grading policies and maximum-win rules, and Hard Rock’s published house rules spell out when legs are voided or adjusted, which can determine whether a multi-leg ticket actually pays. The posted rules detail grading, how pushes and cancellations are handled, and maximum-win provisions, and you can see the specifics in the Hard Rock house rules PDF.
This kind of long-shot haul is not unique. In March 2025, a different Florida bettor turned a $51 parlay into about $1.09 million, highlighting just how volatile home-run and multi-leg markets can be, PokerNews noted. Analysts continue to remind bettors that parlays are best treated as entertainment plays rather than any sort of reliable plan for steady returns.
