The start of the NFL regular season is just over 900 hours away. That’s just the entire series of the X-Files – all 201 episodes, with commercials – four and a half times. Something to pass the time? Imagining yourself with a couple million extra dollars just because you assembled a good weekly fantasy team. Draft Kings wants you to stop fantasizing and actually have that money.

CREATE YOUR TEAM

For their Week 1 challenge, Draft Kings is offering their biggest payout EVER. The top 125,700 finishers will split a prize of $10 MILLION DOLLARS. First place gets $2,000,000 and second place still gets a cool million. In fact, if you finish in the top 1,000, you’re guaranteed to bring back 20x your entry fee of $20:

1 to 20

And so on.

The rules are the same as always. Your team will consist of 1 QB, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, 1 TE, 1 FLEX, and 1 DST. You can sign up now (and you should sign up as early as you can) and tinker with your team for the next 900 hours before the deadline on your deposit hits. And just think about it this way: If you order two fewer orders of wings during the season, you’ve just saved yourself the deposit while also giving yourself a chance to win – and I’m gonna emphasize this again – two million dollars. Why wouldn’t you?

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!

Draft Kings is offering up $3.3 million for the PGA Championship next weekend. The British Open event was one of our largest referrals ever and Draft Kings reached out to us and basically demanded that we tell you about the PGA Championship event. And we’re happy to do so, if only because Kyle won’t stop telling me about his Spieth pick in The Open as if no one else drafted him. Same deal– $20 gets you in for a chance to win from a $3.3 million prize pool:
