DraftDay Perfect Lineup: Build the Perfect Lineup, Win $1,000,000
This week, you could become a millionaire…no joke. Every week of NFL season, DraftDay is holding a freeroll giving away $385 in prizes for the remainder of the NFL season, with first place getting $100. This is an excellent promotion in and of itself, but it’s also just the beginning. In addition to giving away $100 to first place, $50 to 2nd, $25 to third and $10 to the remaining players who finish in the Top 25, if you construct the Perfect Lineup, you’ll walk away with $1,000,000! This awesome promotion was concocted by the DraftDay team to lure as many new users as possible to the budding industry of Daily Fantasy, and we give it two big thumbs up.
In a recent interview, we spoke with DraftDay about the promotion, and co-founder Andrew Wiggins explained their thinking behind the team’s thinking behind the promotion and provided some more insight into the contest:
“We wanted to enter the industry with a bang. The promo is quite simple. If you can construct a fantasy team that includes all of the highest scoring players at every position – the perfect lineup – you win 1 million dollars. It’s not easy to do, but it’s also not impossible. If you get a week where the top players show up and dominate the leaderboards, it’s actually quite possible to accomplish. It’s the weeks when the Torrey Smiths of the world dominate that make it so difficult. We’ve insured the payout so that players can have no qualms about getting paid. It also means were rooting for you guys! We’d be ecstatic to give someone 1 million dollars.”
So yea, you read this correctly, this promo is real. There’s really no reason to pass up on this opportunity, so check out our DraftDay Review, grab a 20% bonus on your first deposit if you’d like, and take your shot at glory for this week of NFL Games.
Testing Our Luck at Perfection
To go along with this promotion, we at RotoGrinders thought it would be fun to post our taking a shot at the perfect lineup last week, along with what the Perfect lineups would have been for each week of the NFL season (shoutout to TaxiMike for compiling). Maybe this will help one of our users out in winning the top prize, and if it does make sure to send some of that prize back our way!
RG Attempts Week 7
We attempted to ride the Tebow train to title town, but we forgot to update our kicker post-injury, and wound up scoring less than 50% of the score needed to win :(
