The odds of winning Powerball are one in 292.2 million. But how about betting $0.09 and walking away with more than $313,000?

The biggest Powerball jackpot was $1.586 billion back in 2016.

But where is the fun in that? It’s much more fun to invest $50, or just $.50, and take away six figures and bragging rights with the gang for the rest of your natural life.

NFL odds on dime and small-dollar parlays are all the rage these days on legal sports betting sites and betting apps, and the tickets have become trending items themselves across social media.

In much the same way that fantasy players use multiple lineups, small-money parlay bettors play dozens, if not hundreds, of different NFL betting tickets hoping for one to pay off with a six-figure reward. While we almost never see the losing tickets online, the big winners at sportsbooks are often presented for all to see.

Multi-leg parlays are nothing new and have been prevalent since sports betting went live and legal in the United States outside Nevada in 2018. But the wagers are getting more daring, the payouts are getting bigger, and those tickets are wonderful fodder for social media.

Is there any better way to invest 9 pennies? One bettor at FanDuel doesn’t think so.

It often takes real money to win real money. Meaning $85 to win $67,833.80

Of course, not everyone is a winner. But this bettor should have gotten a slice of pizza for their effort.

Just as impressive as going 6-0 pic.twitter.com/Srp92oEigH— Barstool Sportsbook (@BSSportsbook) January 20, 2022

Sometimes you are lucky. And sometimes you are just very good.

Bud posted a video of his winning moment, but it had more “f-bombs” than the “Departed” and “Scarface” combined. Congrats.

Cash Out Or Let It Ride?

One question goes all the way back to the Roman Empire: “Cash out or let it ride?”

A cash out or let it ride… WITH A TWIST 👀(IG: sonnygny96/@FDSportsbook) pic.twitter.com/EhvfcI90oC— br_betting (@br_betting) January 17, 2022

All Sonny needed was a Cooper Kupp TD against the Cardinals to walk away with $27,197. Kupp is same guy who won the wide-receiver triple crown this season. But Sonny had no faith in Kupp and opted to cash out for $12,186.86 on this 6-leg parlay. Kupp caught a TD pass in the third quarter that put the Rams up 28-0.

Did Sonny win $12,186.86? Or did he lose $15,010.04?

We all know the answer.

Not all these monstrous parlays are based on small-money wagers.

$1.2 Million on the line‼️Would you cash out or let it ride? pic.twitter.com/B0ni1mW3mf— PointsBet Sportsbook (@PointsBetUSA) January 11, 2022

You gotta bet big to win big, right?

Marco let it ride, and cashed more than a $1.2 million with PointsBet.

And it felt soooo good.

What it looks like to cash a $1.2 million ticket🔊🔊🔊What a night @Marco_Parlay pic.twitter.com/rxUHn0qtMp— PointsBet Sportsbook (@PointsBetUSA) January 11, 2022
