James Franklin McIngvale, a Houston-based businessman better known as "Mattress Mack," won $2.75 million off a $3.46 million bet on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at DraftKings Sportsbook after the Bucs won Super Bowl 55 by a 31-9 score over the Kansas City Chiefs (h/t Mark Berman of Fox 26):

"I think it’s great. Obviously Tampa Bay played terrific. The happiest thing for me is so many customers were thrilled watching that game with their families. They're getting a free mattress, and they made the right choice buying from us during the promotion. Our customers believe in us and put their faith and trust in us. it doesn't get much better than that. It's a very happy night for me."
