Many fantasy and DFS sites have cheap contests with massive potential prizes — few are as cool and exciting as SuperDraft's Jackpot Contest. It's the jackpot prop contest of all jackpot contests.
We'll explain in greater detail below what the SuperDraft Jackpot Contest is all about, but for now let's simply paint a broad picture to pique your interest: a $3 entry and a clean sweep of props will win you thousands of dollars.
As Mike Breen would say, "Bang!" Now, let's expand on what SuperDraft's Jackpot is all about, discuss how it works, and go over which leagues and major sporting events the Jackpot Contest covers throughout the sports calendar year.
What is SuperDraft and the SuperDraft Jackpot?
SuperDraft has been around for a while, and more and more savvy bettors have made it a daily go-to option to try and increase their bankroll. It's not a sportsbook, so it doesn't list moneylines, spreads or odds. But it's also not just a daily fantasy site. SuperDraft offers DFS, fantasy player props, and more — but one of the coolest things about SD is the Jackpot.
SuperDraft's Jackpot has become one of its most popular features, because it's easy, fun, and lets you win a ton of money without putting a lot on the line. Pretty cool. huh? Now let's talk about how you play once you enter.
How does the Jackpot Contest work?
Every Jackpot contest features 12-15 over/under player props for a specific day, night, or game. When making a new Jackpot entry, users must make selections on each of the 12 props listed before the first game involved begins.
Users will also need to make an over/under pick for a "reserve" prop, which comes into play if any of the other props are voided for any reason (late scratch due to injury, postponed game, etc). If a live line is considered a scratch, that particular pick gets scratched from users' entries and the reserve pick will become active as its replacement.
Once an entry gets submitted, all props lock, meaning you can't edit your picks after you enter. From there, you just sit back, relax, cross your fingers, and hope to hit on 100 percent of your picks.
How do you win the SuperDraft Jackpot contest?
The coolest part of the SuperDraft Progressive Jackpot is the prize structure, which is unlike any DFS or fantasy prop contest out there.
If you go 12-for-12, you win 75 percent of the jackpot. If you tie with someone else, 75 percent of the jackpot gets split evenly amongst the winners. Not too shabby, considering we've seen pots reach up to $22,000 in just the past year.
But that's only part of the fun. What makes the Jackpot truly unique is that when one person hits the jackpot, everyone in the contest wins.
When a user or users go 12-for-12, 20 percent of the jackpot will be split evenly amongst the rest of the field from that contest's entered users. Five percent of the jackpot will remain as a reserve for the start of the next contest.
Best Jackpot strategies and advice
The best advice for putting together a Jackpot entry:
- Do a little research for each prop.
- Go with your gut.
- Have fun!
It's not that serious a thing — $3 or $5 is like a scratch ticket! It's an insignificant amount of money if you lose, but a game-changing amount if you play and win!
So, while you do want to do at least a little research with each prop pick you make when you're entering, you also don't want to rack your brain in the process. Have fun with it!
