Biggest FanDuel Payout Ever Recorded

What’s the Biggest FanDuel Payout?

Only one FanDuel sports bettor has managed to win the max $1 million payout. Here are the biggest FanDuel payouts, use them as inspiration for your next bet!

1. $1 Million Payout From $13.49 Four Leg Parlay On NASCAR

On Sunday, August 28, 2022, a mystery FanDuel sports bettor hit a huge $1 million win. They placed a four-leg parlay on Coke Zero Sugar 400 using a $13.49 bonus bet. They bet on Cody Ware +2000, B.J. McLeod +2000, Landon Cassill +1500, and David Ragan +950 to all finish in the top 10 of the race.

Could you imagine the emotions this bettor must have been feeling during the final lap? They must have been terrified to look at the race! Luckily for them, all of their selected drivers snuck into the top 10, and this fortunate bettor cashed out FanDuel’s top $1 million payout!

2. $966,290 Payout From $8 Twelve Leg Parlay On Ryder Cup

Back in 2021, there was one very happy golf fan who joined the list of big winners when they managed to cash out just under $1 million from their FanDuel account thanks to a Hail Mary twelve-leg parlay on the Ryder Cup. The unknown bettor staked only $8 on the 150,000 to 1 wager.

This unidentified sports bettor wagered on a tie between Collin Morikawa and Viktor Hovland (+550 for a tie) and between Jordan Spieth and Tommy Fleetwood (+650). Then he bet on Koepka (-154), Berger (-173), Westwood (+190), Johnson (-159), DeChambeau (-105), McIlroy (+180), Poulter (+200), Scheffler (+230), Cantlay (-120) and Thomas (-159) all to win.

He managed to pick some massive upsets, including Scheffler over Rahm, who was in fine form and had won the U.S Open and the British Open. Also, successfully picking a tie is hard enough, but this bettor managed to pick two in the same event. Who wouldn’t want some of this guy’s luck?

3. $252,160 Payout From $7.16 Twenty Five Leg Parlay On College Football

The unidentified bettor with the Twitter handle @doritos_cv faced an agonizing decision back in September 2022, hold on for the final two legs of his 25 leg parlay and chase the $1 million payout or smash the cash out button. The bettor ultimately cashed out and won $252,160!

The bettor exclusively wagered on college football, and their bet slip included a mixture of moneyline, totals, and spreads. The last two legs of the player’s parlay were Texas A&M -6½ over Miami and Michigan State-Washington over 56½.

In a cruel twist of fate, Washington made a late field goal to clinch the over, and Texas A&M beat the spread with a strong 17-9 win over Miami. If the bettor had just held on, he would have scored a $1 million payday! Even though the player must have been delighted to pocket over $250,000 in winnings from a $7.16 crazy bet, there must be a part of him that feels bad they hit that cash-out button and missed out on life-changing money.

Does FanDuel Payout The Whole Sum?

FanDuel does payout the whole sum, even up to $1 million, if you request a wire transfer. FanDuel will then send the money directly to your bank account. The wire transfer will arrive in your account typically within 5 business days, but it may take a bit longer if you are withdrawing a 6 figure + sum. Also, wire transfers have a $15 fee.

Alternatively, you can break the $1 million payout into multiple $10,000 transactions. However, that is going to take a while. You are better off requesting a check in the mail or initiating a wire transfer.
