How the DraftKings 2015 ESPN Fantasy Football League Manager league $1MM Offer will be split

  • The 2015 ESPN Fantasy Football League Manager league player who obtains the highest score in the DraftKings Week 1 Football Millionaire Maker (the “ESPN Winner") shall receive $100,000 in the ESPN Winner’s DraftKings account;
  • All teams in all of the ESPN Winner’s 2015 ESPN Fantasy Football League Manager leagues whose owner(s)/manager(s) meet eligibility requirements to be an Additional ESPN Winner, including the ESPN Winner, can receive up to one (1) share of the remaining $900,000.
  • Teams in a 2015 ESPN Fantasy Football League Manager league with the ESPN Winner that are owned/managed by a single ESPN user who meets the Additional ESPN Winner eligibility requirements will receive one (1) full share of the remaining $900,000.
  • A maximum of one (1) share of the remaining $900,000 will be awarded per Additional ESPN Winner, regardless of the number of teams in a 2015 ESPN Fantasy Football League Manager league with the ESPN Winner.
  • If any team in the ESPN Winner’s 2015 ESPN Fantasy Football League Manager league(s) has two (2) owners/managers, each owner/manager who meets the Additional ESPN Winner eligibility requirements will receive one-half (½) of a share of the remaining $900,000, regardless of the eligibility status of their co-owner/manager.
  • For example, if a co-owned team has two owners, one eligible and one ineligible, the eligible owner will only receive one-half (½) of a share of the remaining $900,000.
  • For example, if a co-owned team has two owners, Owner A and Owner B who are both eligible as Additional ESPN winners, and Owner A has already received a full-share from other team(s) in a 2015 ESPN Fantasy Football League Manager league with the ESPN winner, Owner A would receive no additional share of the remaining $900,000 and Owner B would receive one-half (½) share of the remaining $900,000.
  • For example, if a co-owned team has two owners, Owner A and Owner B who are both eligible as Additional ESPN Winners, and both have received one (1) full share from other team(s) in a 2015 ESPN Fantasy Football League Manager league with the ESPN Winner, neither owner would receive any additional share of the remaining $900,000, as they have already received the maximum one (1) share.
  • For example, if a co-owned team has two owners, Owner A and Owner B who are both eligible as Additional ESPN Winners, and both have received one-half (½) of a share from other team(s) in a 2015 ESPN Fantasy Football League Manager league with the ESPN Winner, each owner would receive an additional one-half (½) share of the remaining $900,000, as they have yet to receive the maximum one (1) share.
  • Any additional scenarios not specifically outlined in this document will be solved on an as-needed basis by the Sponsors, at the Sponsors’ discretion, and are final.

How the Additional ESPN Winners will be determined

  • After the ESPN Winner has been declared eligible by the Sponsors, ESPN will send an email to each potential Additional ESPN Winner with instructions on how to set up a DraftKings account and claim their share of the prize, and the deadline for claiming their prize.
  • DraftKings will also work with the ESPN Winner to contact the Additional ESPN Winners.
  • 2015 ESPN Fantasy Football League Manager league member identification is contingent upon the Sponsors’ ability to identify based on 2015 ESPN Fantasy Football League Manager league data and user account information provided by users in advance of the DraftKings Week 1 Football Millionaire Maker contest lock time and in the ESPN Winner’s report.

  • 2015 ESPN Fantasy Football League Manager league members must respond to the Sponsors within the deadline established by Sponsors, which shall be at a minimum 7 business days from initial contact by Sponsors, or may be disqualified from the promotion, regardless of whether or not initial contact was received or seen by the ESPN user.

How the Prize will be distributed

  • 1: Total number of Additional ESPN Winners
  • 2: The amount of each Additional ESPN Winner’s share of the remaining $900,000.
