Texas mattress merchant lost $7 million Super Bowl bet with customers

Jim McIngvale, known as "Mattress Mack," ran a 10-day promotion at his two Gallery Furniture stores promising customers their money back if the Seahawks beat the Denver Broncos in the National Football League championship. McIngvale said about 1,000 people participated, buying an average of $7,000 worth of furniture. McIngvale is well known in the Houston area for attention-grabbing commercials over the past three decades. McIngvale has given talks to generations of Houston-area youth about his experience with addiction.
