Jade Roper Tolbert will not be receiving her $1 million prize from DraftKings after all.
The 33-year-old former contestant on both The Bachelor (Season 19) and Bachelor in Paradise (Season 2) placed first in DraftKings’s “Millionaire Maker” challenge during Wild Card weekend. But controversy ensued shortly after her victory was publicized on social media, leading DraftKings to look into allegations that Tolbert had worked with her husband, Tanner Tolbert to pool their entries.
On Saturday, the company said in a statement it had "updated the standings of several contests." One of those was Roper's top entry, with a new player now listed as the $1 million winner.
