That looks like one of Mattress Mack's bets (in case you haven't heard about him, he is a furniture dealer here in Houston who always has marketing deals and this year his promotion was 'If the Astros win the World Series, your mattress purchase over $3000 is free)'.
Since the Astros were doing so well, he's started hedging his bets (using Anthony Curtis from the Las Vegas Advisor as a consultant).
Anthony has been chronically this awesome story on his Las Vegas Advisor website, and I find it incredibly interesting.
Regarding the 200k bet at South Point, Curtis said "when Frank made the $200K bet at South Point, he asked the ticket writer how many drink tickets it would get him. The answer was “as many as you want,” then five were handed over."
