Chicago bettor, Marco Piemonte, otherwise known as Million Dollar Marco, is toasting to one of the all-time greatest parlay wins during Sunday's NFL Week 15 action, collecting more than $2.8M from a 5-leg parlay that went right down to the wire, only cashing when the Las Vegas Raiders pulled out one of the craziest plays you're ever going to see, to overcome the New England Patriots at Allegiant Stadium.

One of the Greatest Parlay Wins of all Time
The 5-leg parlay, which was placed on Saturday with DraftKings Sportsbook for an outlay of $31,000, included: the Minnesota Vikings to beat the Colts, Browns to beat the Ravens, Dolphins +7 vs. the Bills, Jaguars +4 vs. the Cowboys, and finally, the Raiders to win against the Patriots.
Before we get to the crazy final leg of this parlay in Las Vegas on Sunday, let's backtrack to Saturday.
Trailing 33-0 at halftime, sportsbooks were trading the Vikings at odds as high as +5000 on the moneyline to stage the biggest comeback in NFL history and win their game against the Colts. And that's exactly what they did, winning 39-36.
The Vikings got out to as much as +5000 live with some sportsbooks when they were down 33-0 at halftime 😳

While the rest of Saturday's games would prove to be somewhat uneventful, with the Browns and Dolphins legs ticking off with relative ease, Marco once again found himself in a sweat once the Sunday slate rolled around.
First up was the Jaguars +4 against the Cowboys. Down 21-7 at halftime, and against one of the best defenses in the NFL, Piemonte had all but given up on his bet, posting to social media that he believed the parlay was done.
But not only did Jacksonville stage a second half fightback - they went on the win the game in OT, walking if off with a Dak Prescott pick to triumph 40-34.
That leads us to Las Vegas. The final leg.
Needing the Raiders to win the game and the Patriots outright, once again things were not looking good for the bettor as the Pats took control of things down the stretch.
There was life, however, when Derek Carr found Keelan Cole with 32 seconds remaining to tie things up.
Needing to avoid New England scoring on the final play of the game as time expired, what would follow was perhaps the craziest ending to an NFL game of all-time.
After a big thrust forward, running back Rhamondre Stevenson lateraled to Jakobi Meyers. Meyers threw the ball backwards, right into the arms of Raiders defender Chandler Jones who delivered the ball into the endzone, giving Las Vegas the win and Marco the most ridiculous of parlay wins.
