The largest amount of money won from gambling can vary greatly and is often dependent on the specific game, the stakes involved, and the individual's luck. There have been numerous instances where people have won substantial sums of money through gambling. Some notable examples include:

Casino Jackpots: In land-based casinos and online casinos, there have been cases where individuals have won multimillion-dollar jackpots on slot machines or progressive jackpot games.

 Poker Tournaments: Poker tournaments, particularly high-stakes ones like the World Series of Poker, have seen winners walk away with millions of dollars in prize money. For example, the 2019 World Series of Poker Main Event had a prize pool of over $80 million, with the first-place winner receiving more than $10 million.

Sports Betting: In sports betting, there have been instances where individuals have won millions by correctly predicting the outcome of a major sporting event. For example, in 2018, a bettor in Las Vegas won $1.2 million after correctly betting on the Philadelphia Eagles to win Super Bowl LII.

Online Gambling: Online gambling also offers opportunities to win significant sums of money. For example, in 2015, a British soldier named Jon Heywood won a Guinness World Record-breaking £13.2 million ($17.8 million) on an online slot machine.

However, it is important to note that gambling can also lead to significant financial losses and can be addictive. Responsible gambling practices and setting limits for oneself are crucial to maintaining a healthy relationship with gambling. It is always wise to gamble with a budget and only gamble money that you can afford to lose.

I don't stake big in betting and therefore I do not expect winning big as well. What I always win is always in proportion to what I do stake whenever I want to bet. Though there are some that do stake low and win big.
