Alabama Father Wins $750,000 Ferrari From $150 Pack

Alabama Father Wins $750,000 Ferrari From $150 Pack

A 32-year-old Alabama father thought he had won $7,500 after opening a $150 pack on Tilt Rips. The actual prize, announced by the company, was a Ferrari SF90 valued at $750,000 — 5,000 times the pack’s price, according to founder Sam “Señor Tilt” Kiki.

Kiki announced the win in a post describing it as one of the biggest in “GACHA HISTORY.” The winner, a husband and father of one, initially mistook the amount, Kiki said. Photos of the purple lightning-wrapped Ferrari showed Kiki posing on and beside the car, leading some people to assume he was the winner. He clarified on November 7: “It’s me in the pic. Preparing to give it away.” Asked whether someone had paid $750,000 for the car, Kiki replied that the winner “ripped it out of a $150 pack.”

The giveaway comes as Kiki shifts his focus from casino gaming to collectibles. Inc. reported on October 23 that he was concentrating on Tilt Rips as MonkeyTilt wound down its casino and sportsbook operations. Tilt Rips sells virtual packs containing Pokémon, One Piece and sports cards, with prices ranging from 10 cents to $3,000. The company works with roughly 100 buyers who source cards from stores, conventions and suppliers; its inventory is kept in Montana, Inc. reported.

Kiki told Inc. that a visit to Japan helped inspire the business: “Japan is a mecca for collectibles. I came back and told my team we have to build in this space.” He has also said collecting gives him something to share with his three children, calling it “the first time where I’ve had this level playing field with them.” Kiki previously won a pot of more than $1 million against Kevin Hart on High Stakes Poker.

Kiki has floated adding card grading, insurance and lending services, as well as potentially expanding into sneakers and luxury handbags. He also asked followers whether Tilt Rips should put another Ferrari in a pack, adding: “I vote yes.”
