Sometimes, winning can be the worst thing to happen to a regular sports bettor. One patron in Massachusetts cashed $13,500 on a $375 wager on any non-QB throwing a touchdown pass in Super Bowl 58.

The +3500 ticket cashed when San Francisco WR Jauan Jennings hit Christian McCaffrey with a 21-yard TD pass in the second quarter.

This bettor, who asked to remain anonymous, had no limits on his FanDuel account prior to the Super Bowl. Since that hit, his wagers have been limited to $50.

The same customer has been limited at ESPN BET and DraftKings. Bookies.com has seen multiple betting slips confirming these wager limits.
