BOSTON—Sports gambling giant DraftKings won’t give a former “Bachelor” contestant the $1 million prize for winning an online fantasy football contest after she and her husband were accused of cheating. “DraftKings has decided to update the standings for several contests,” the Boston-based company said in a statement Saturday. That suggests the two may have colluded to give themselves the best shot at winning the top prize, which is not allowed under the contest rules. Roper-Tolbert has been regularly playing in DraftKings NFL contests this season, and Tolbert is a prolific fantasy sports player. “Though we must ponder, would the questions, accusations and curiosity about this win be the same if the winner had been male and someone who wasn’t already in the public eye?”
