A very lucky man from Magnolia is now $96,000 richer. Officials at Dover Downs Casino announced that the man bought two 10-team parlay tickets, one for $100 and one for $20. “The $96,000 jackpot is the biggest thus far in Delaware, and we are very excited to announce this sizeable win,” says Dover Downs President and CEO Ed Sutor. He says, “It was a very good weekend for this patron as well as many other sports bettors in Delaware since most of the favored teams covered their spread.” The weekend was so good for bettors, the state’s sports betting computer system temporarily froze payouts due to the high number of winning bets.

So far, sports betting has been turning out better than expected for the state. Early returns show estimates of how much the state would make with parlay bets on the NFL seem to be on the low side.
