“Our team at Circa Sports introduced some of the biggest football contests in the world within three years of operation, and the payouts were extraordinary” said Circa Sports CEO Derek Stevens. “We were thrilled to award six individuals win seven-figure prizes, and even got to celebrate with a few of them during game 20 in the world’s largest sportsbook at Circa Resort & Casino. It was a tremendous year for football, and we are looking forward to see what’s in store for next season’s contests.”
The seven-figure winners for the two contests are:
The winners of Circa Survivor each lasted 20 legs of the football season, including Thanksgiving and Christmas day. This entailed choosing one different team to win straight up each week, but the player could not pick the same team twice for the duration of the season. The five winners ended up going 20-0-0, which was a two-game increase from last year’s contest.
Circa Million III
During Circa Million III, each player made five professional football picks against the spread each week. One point was awarded for each correct selection and one-half point for each push. A collective $4 million in payouts were awarded, including a $100,000 booby prize for last place in the full season.
At a special presentation and cocktail reception at the D Las Vegas on January 14, the contest winners were presented with checks from Stevens and the Circa Sports team.
