DraftKings Second-Chance March Madness Bracket Contest: Prizes Up To $1,000
Even in a year that has featured little in the way of upsets, March Madness may have left your bracket in ruins. However, free second-chance brackets and contests offer a chance at a mulligan. DraftKings has come to the rescue with several contests awarding $30,000 each in prize money.
Read on to find out how to enter these second-chance bracket contests. These offer a great chance to win some dough without even betting March Madness odds.
Win Up To $1,000 In DraftKings Free Second-CHance BRackets Contest
It’s Sweet 16 time, which means only a handful of games remain. Still, there are enough contests to provide a second-chance bracket contest, and that’s precisely what DK and others have done. Along with a couple of sponsors, DraftKings has set up a pair of $30,000 contests.
The pools have the same idea as your typical March Madness bracket, except on a smaller scale. Pick winners for each game, and points double every round:
- 10 points for correct Sweet 16 picks
- 20 points for correct Elite 8 picks
- 40 points for correct Final Four picks
- 80 points for the correct championship winner
The prize money is quite top-heavy and scales down quickly, so it’s best to play aggressively and make some big upset picks. Here’s how the prize pools break down.
| $30K Contest (Jimmy John’s/Evan Williams) |
|---|
| 1st: $1,000 |
| 2nd-3rd: $500 |
| 4th-8th: $150 |
| 9th-78th: $75 |
| 79th-278th: $25 |
| 279th-1,028th: $10 |
| 1,029th-2,528th: $5 |
| 2,559th-4,528th: $1 |
Both contests have more than 50,000 entries, so find some contrarian picks to give yourself a chance. The games lock at the tipoff of BYU vs. Alabama at 7:09 ET, so be sure to get your entry in before then.
Best of luck with your second-chance bracket picks.
