One person turned a $20 bet into a $579,020 payout during NFL Conference Championship Weekend.
FanDuel Sportsbook's verified Twitter account shared a screengrab of a wager placed on correct score predictions for both the AFC and NFC championship games, which accurately predicted the Cincinnati Bengals defeating the Kansas City Chiefs, 27-24, and the Los Angeles Rams defeating the San Francisco 49ers, 20-17, on Sunday (January 30).

The Bengals-Chiefs prediction had +22000 odds and the Rams-49ers prediction had +13000 odds, totaling +2895000 odds as a two-leg parlay.
Cincinnati upset Kansas City after forcing an interception on the Chiefs' opening overtime possession before quarterback Joe Burrow led a nine-play, 42-yard drive capped off by Evan McPherson's 31-yard game winning field goal.
The Rams trailed 17-7 entering the fourth quarter before scoring 13 unanswered points, which included Matthew Stafford's 11-yard touchdown pass to Cooper Kupp and later two field goals by Matt Gay.
The Rams will become the second team to appear in a Super Bowl at their home stadium during Super Bowl LVI after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won at Raymond James Stadium last year.
