DraftKings Second-Chance March Madness Bracket Contests: Prizes Up To $1,000
Many a bracket out there has already reached the shambles stage, especially for those who picked several upsets in early March Madness odds (hi). However, free second-chance brackets and contests offer a chance at a mulligan. DraftKings has come to the rescue with a couple of contests awarding tens of thousands of dollars in prize money.

Win Up To $1,000 In DraftKings Free Second-CHance BRackets Contest
With the NCAA tournament having reached the Sweet 16, only 15 games are left. While that means the field has narrowed significantly, that’s still enough to provide a quality second chance brackets contest. Along with a couple of sponsors, DraftKings has stepped up to the plate and posted contests with prize pools of $20,000 and $25,000.
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.
$25K Contest (Applebee’s) | $20K Contest (State Farm) |
---|---|
1st: $1,000 | 1st: $500 |
2nd-3rd: $500 | 2nd-4th: $100 |
4th-8th: $100 | 5th-38th: $50 |
9th-58th: $50 | 39th-188th: $25 |
59th-258th: $25 | 189th-688th: $10 |
259th-958th: $10 | 689th–1,938th: $5 |
959th-1,958th: $5 | 1,939th-4,438th: $1 |
1,959th-4,958th: $1 |
