Surprised it’s the biggest winning, you would think high rollers would bet millions all the time

Furniture is such lost cause.

Who accepted this action😂
Hi Forbes How does Jim get such good odds. My sports book offers such small payouts
Mattress MAGA Mack is a major donor to Republicans here in Texas, even supporting politicians who support the Jan 6 Riots. What a shame that a force for good has become a stain in our great city. Definitely lost my business.
Bring in wheel borrow
the madman did it
Boom 💥 he just won that 75 million last night. Go Astros and God bless Mattress Mack.
$75 MILLION!!!!!!!
DANG !! WOW !!!!
Mattress Mac is an awesome guy. I first met him as a representative for Otis Spunkmeyer cookie dough. The representative that was there before me was getting ate alive by Mac. He is a straight up business man and won't be buffaloed by anyone. The boss called me in and ask me to take over the account. Me and Mac hit it off pretty quickly. I did what Mac told me to do and wallah success. If you just remember while dealing with Gallery Furniture that Mac is the boss you'll do just fine. Mac is one of the greatest people I've ever known. Thanks for all you taught me Mac.

What a waste of Money!!!
Makes sense! I was definitely thinking that it was more of a sales promotion thing. Great idea! Proud Houstonian here 💙🧡
