Los Angeles Rams Ronnie Rivers wins $514,000 jackpot playing three-card poker in Las Vegas

Los Angeles Rams running back Ronnie Rivers won $514,837 in Las Vegas while playing three-card poker – almost as much money as his NFL salary.

The undrafted rookie made $515,670 during the 2022 season after bouncing around between the Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks, before finally ending up with the Rams. He was promoted from the practice squad to the main roster in November.

His luck was in over the weekend as he shared his success at Caesars Palace to his Instagram story, winning just $833 less than what he earned in his first NFL season.

Rivers, who was seen celebrating in the social media clip, is set to make $870,000 if he is still on the roster for the entirety of the 2023 season.

Rivers appeared in only eight games for the Rams and rushed for 21 yards on nine carries, while gaining 29 receiving yards on five catches.
