Jade Roper Tolbert, a model and former contestant on the TV show 'The Bachelor,' won $1 million in a DraftKings $20 buy-in contest over the first week of the NFL playoffs.

This is just the most brutal thing ever.

It appeared Monday night that a DraftKings player had won $1,000,000 in a contest with a Monday Night Football lineup with Jared Goff, Cooper Kupp, Gerald Everett, Josh Reynolds and both the Los Angeles Rams and Chicago Bears defenses.

Sports gambling giant DraftKings denied a former 'Bachelor' contestant $1 million in prize money for winning an online fantasy football contest after she and her husband allegedly cheated.

DraftKings, which plans to go public in 2020 with a $3.3 billion valuation, is likely sensitive to perceptions that its contests might lack integrity or that the company ineffectively enforces. This is just the most brutal thing ever. It appeared Monday night that a DraftKings player had won $1,000,000 in a contest with a Monday Night Football lineup with Jared Goff, Cooper Kupp, Gerald.

After the final whistle, the user — Robocles — ranked No. 1, good for a million bucks.

But then the worst happened. A sack previously credited to the Bears was taken away and Goff was credited with four fewer rushing yards. The win turned into a sixth-place finish for $3,078.94, which isn't terrible. But it isn't $1 million.

One Twitter user seems to have found the play that was initially a sack and then wasn't:

I believe this to be the non-sack that cost a dude $997k as a stat correction. What say you? pic.twitter.com/4NreJRY9k7

And how did she win $1 million?

Tolbert finished in first place in a DraftKings' contest, in which players put together a fantasy lineup and accrue the most possible points to defeat fellow owners:

What's the problem here?

Tolbert was accused on Twitter of cheating because she and her husband both submitted the maximum 150 entries (with different lineups) that each user is allowed to put into a given contest. And that has lead to people thinking they colluded, submitting diverse lineups to get to 300 unique entries instead of the allotted 150.

Is that really against the rules?

According to DraftKings, yep. This is listed under 'unacceptable behaviors':
