The Florida Panthers’ victory over the Edmonton Oilers in Game 6 dashed 24-year-old Drew Hirschman’s hopes of winning $270,000 on a $13 bet. Hirschman’s five-game DraftKings parley also included wins by the New York Liberty, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Philadelphia Eagles. The Oklahoma City Thunder’s potential NBA title win was the final piece. Despite the loss, Hirschman, with help from his dad, secured $75,000 in profit through hedge bets. A recent computer engineering graduate, Hirschman is considering opportunities in sports and gambling, although he maintains a passion for engineering. (Newser)
