Mack's winnings have made him famous over the years. But so have multiple posts of him accepting his prizes that have been shared on social media. The bags of cash he brought back from BetMGM in Las Vegas were so heavy that he had to transport them with a wheelbarrow in the most recent viral clip.


Mattress Mack: This money is heavy

The pilot was waiting to help him move the unending stacks of cash aboard his private jet. He so utilized the wheelbarrow to transport them there. He lifted his money and said:

"This money is heavy."
"How tweet it is 75 million" – Mattress Mack

Even before his significant win, McIngvale was already living comfortably. His mattress business was quite successful, as evidenced by the substantial sum of money he initially used to place the wager.

Astros fans were elated as the team clinched a second title as Yordan Alvarez's Game 6 homer ousted the Philadelphia Phillies.
