Everyone who plays fantasy football knows how quickly your fate can change, but one daily fantasy competitor lost the chance at winning a million dollars thanks to one tipped ball.

According to Darren Rovell of the Action Network, a college student was in first place on DraftKings' Milly Maker contest until Amari Cooper scored his third touchdown of the day in overtime:

The receiver finished with 10 catches for 217 yards and three touchdowns, providing a significant boost to whoever had him in their lineups. Unfortunately, the leader at the time didn't and he went from winning $1 million in first place to just $5,000 in 14th place.
