Wes Welker Kentucky Derby winnings: The Denver Broncos receiver might have been given too much money by Churchill Downs after winning his bet from the first leg of the Triple Crown.

The Pro Bowl receiver reportedly boxed Commanding Curve, a 37-1 long shot that finished second place in the Derby. A $2 exacta bet, for example, with winner California Chrome and Commanding Curve paid out $340 that day, according to ESPN.com. Wes Welker was paid out $57,193.90 for his Kentucky Derby winnings, but he and his group were paid too much.

"An individual believed to be a member of Wes Welker's group on Kentucky Derby day was the beneficiary of an overpayment north of $14,000 on a wager due to a tote malfunction," Churchill Downs spokesman Darren Rogers said in a statement. "In turn, a letter has been sent to that individual in an attempt to resolve the error."

TMZ reported that Welker sent a friend to collect the winnings. Churchill Downs in turn paid out a total of $57,193.90 to that person, according to TMZ.

If the organization makes a mistake and gives out more money than it's supposed to then the organization has to eat that money. They can not ask the winner to give back any money.

When pressed by Patrick to reveal how much he won, Welker hedged in his response on the "Dan Patrick Show."

"Enough," he said. "Enough to where my wife didn't hate me when I got home. Why do we have to go into numbers here? It was a good time."
