DraftKings Gearing Up For NFL Action With New $100 Million Giveaway

DraftKings is rolling out an exciting promotion called the Golden Ticket for NFL fans, marking the start of the football season with a significant investment. This promotion offers participants free site credit just for getting involved. Here's how it works:

To kick things off, you sign up and make a free prediction for the first week of the NFL season. Simply pick the team you think will win in the opening week’s matchups.

Once you’ve made your prediction, DraftKings immediately credits your account with site credit ranging from $5 all the way up to an impressive $25,000.

But that’s not all. By making your week one NFL pick, you also get a chance to enter the Free Golden Ticket Giveaway. On September 13th, one lucky winner will be selected to receive a cash prize of $1 million.

Additionally, your initial prediction automatically enters you into a free survivor pool for the entire NFL season. If you consistently make correct picks each week, you could be in the running for the season-long top prize of $1 million.

In total, DraftKings plans to give away up to $100 million through this promotion, making it a thrilling opportunity for both new and existing users alike.

As football fans eagerly anticipate the season amidst ongoing concerns about COVID-19, the success of such promotions hinges on the NFL’s ability to manage the health crisis. While leagues like the NBA and NHL have successfully operated within controlled environments (bubbles) without new COVID-19 cases, the MLB has faced challenges with multiple game postponements due to outbreaks.

Unlike these leagues, the NFL has not implemented a bubble system due to the logistical challenges of football’s extensive travel and larger team sizes. This approach leaves the NFL vulnerable to potential outbreaks that could disrupt the season.

With each NFL team scheduled to play 16 games, even a few cancellations could pose significant challenges. The NFL has developed protocols to mitigate virus transmission but must remain vigilant to avoid disruptions that could jeopardize the season.

Amidst this backdrop, DraftKings’ Golden Ticket promotion offers fans a chance to engage with the excitement of football while hoping for a successful and uninterrupted NFL season.
