By RP, January 18, 2016

Poker pro Aaron Jones has won the single largest prize in fantasy sports history pocketing a staggering $5 million first place award in the DraftKings’ World Fantasy Football Championship far outstripping his lifetime poker winnings of $500 000.

Jones sealed the deal after trailing in fifth place heading into the final stretch of the division round of the NFL playoffs.

“I recommend winning $5m if you guys have a chance. It was fun and I would do it again,” Jones posted on Twitter following the win.
