Fairleigh Dickinson's stunning upset of Purdue in the first round of the men’s NCAA tournament busted brackets across the country, as the lowest-seeded team in the field defeated a team that had spent seven weeks this season ranked No. 1.

A bettor placed $33,000 on the Knights to defeat the Boilermakers at +1500 odds Friday evening, according to a Saturday morning tweet from Darren Rovell of The Action Network. The successful bet paid out an astonishing $528,000, a $495,000 windfall on one of the biggest upsets in the history of North American sports.
