After the game ended, DraftKings’ official tabulation showed that Huntze had scored the most points out in more than 175,000 entries — and that he’d won $1 million. Then, 30 minutes later, it all went away.
The result changed because the NFL changed a sack that occurred late in the fourth quarter to a running play. As explained by Purdum, Rams quarterback Jared Goff faked a handoff to the right and ran a bootleg to the left. The Bears tackled Goff three yards behind the line of scrimmage.
Listed as a sack at the time, the official scorer changed the designation upon noticing that receivers appeared to be blocking.

Huntze instead won $3,554.

Not that $1mil is enough money to do that.

Doesn’t that mean someone else did win $1M after thinking he’d come in 2nd?

That official scorer better hire some bodyguards.

Obviously extremely disappointing, but stat changes are routine and this has happened to others before. Don't count your money until it hits your account.

I know this a dumb question, but who gives a shite if the receivers are clocking, isn’t it still a sack??

Yeah I thought a Qb tackle behind the LOS is always a sack? Should be imo

Did someone else win the $1 mil?
If not, check the official scorer’s bank accounts to see if DK sent him $500K for the scoring adjustment.

That's why it's called gambling.

I once got a similar stat change,took away a sack from my defense, to make me lose that week instead of winning.
I can feel his pain.
