Holiday season is upon us, and at least one person has something to be extremely thankful for. As the sports weekend concluded, one bettor cashed in on a $50, 15-leg parlay that ranged across a variety of different sports. The reward? Just north of $1.1 million dollars.

The ticket was punched early last week as a hockey wager jumpstarted the bet slip before mostly NBA and college basketball wins ruled the workweek and gave the ticket some life entering the weekend. With better than a puncher’s chance at seeing the ticket all the way through, things got real on Saturday and Sunday.
