A Reno man and his team EZRATERRESTRIALS know how to pick the winners in pro football. They went 18-2 in the third quarter of the Circa Million V contest and took home $150,000 for being the sole first-place finisher.
As the only Circa Sports Sportsbook in Northern Nevada, the lucky winner entered the contest at Legends Bay Casino.
The Circa Million V contest challenges entrants to make five NFL picks against the spread weekly. They get one point for each correct selection and one-half point for each push (tie). Players can either submit contest picks in-person or via the app in Nevada or play from out of state by registering with a Nevada-based proxy.
“As the only Circa Sports Sportsbook location in the region, we are so excited for this winner,” said Legends Bay Casino General Manager Ryan Walker. “We are proud to be the exclusive home to Circa Sports and provide our guests with the opportunity to watch and experience exhilarating sports in the best setting in Northern Nevada.
