March Madness 2024 bettor sitting on $90,000 NC State championship ticket

Christopher Brown is “never cashing out, never cashing out, never cashing out” his March Madness futures ticket on the NC State Wolfpack.

His $500 bet on NC State is getting pretty close to a big-time payout, as the Wolfpack are just two games away from glory on DraftKings,🎐 a♏nd his bet would profit $90,000 if NC State somehow does win it all.

Brown’s current cashout sits at $2,345.01, according to a video on social media, but based on that video it doesn’t appear likely to be used by the bettor.

The Wolfpack have a tough date with Zach Edey and the Purdue Boilermakers this weekend; ꦯthey are +340 on the moneyline and 9.5-poin🦹t underdogs, as of Wednesday morning.

NC State is also down to 16/1 to win their next two games of the season, with the seemingly impossible path of having to face the country’s No. 1 player in Edey before a possible date with UConn.

Saturday’s game surely will come down to the DJ Burns-Edey matchup, as two big bodi🎃es will be banging in the paint from start to fi🐈nish.

It’s easy to be bearish on NC State winning its Final Four matchup against Purdue, considering the insane amount of 3-point shooting variance the Wolfpack have enjoyed this tournament.

Duke shot just 5-for-20 beyond the arc in ♛the Elite Eight, a substantial dip compared to its incredibly hot shooting earlier in the tournament.

Marquette was just 4-for-31 from 3-point land in the Sweet 16, and Oakland also didn’t put its best shooting performance forward with a 12-for-35 performance in the second round.

The good fortu🌄ne for the Wolfpack has shown just how wild March Madness can b🃏e.
