As an incentive to enter the $10 Million Millionaire Maker contest on DraftKings and get players to participate in ESPN&#8217;s season-long fantasy football leagues, ESPN and DraftKings will award an additional $1 million prize to the highest-scoring Millionaire Maker entrant who also has at least one team in an ESPN League Manager fantasy football league. Of that $1 million, $100,000 will go to the winner, while the other $900,000 will be split among his or her fellow ESPN League Manager fantasy football league members!<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s all you need to do to be eligible for the $1 million bonus:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Enter an ESPN League Manager fantasy football league as of Sunday, Sept. 13 before the first NFL game kicks off. ESPN offers three different types of fantasy football leagues: Standard Leagues, Custom Leagues, and League Manager Leagues. It&#8217;s essential that you&#8217;re in a League Manager League in order to be prize eligible. The leagues are free to create and play. If you aren&#8217;t sure whether your league is a League Manager League, just head to your league&#8217;s home page and click \u201cSettings.\u201d Under Basic Settings, look for the line that says \u201cFormat.\u201d On this line, it will say what type of league it is.<\/li>\n<li>Head over to DraftKings and put $20 into a real-money account if you don&#8217;t already have one. Enter the NFL $10M Millionaire Maker contest, and then select a team of athletes whose salaries fit under the $50,000 salary cap.<\/li>\n<li>Once you&#8217;ve submitted your team, you&#8217;re now eligible for the $1 million additional prize to be split among your ESPN League Manager fantasy football league members as well as the $2 million first-place prize in the actual contest. An individual who participates in more than one ESPN League Manager fantasy football league will have the $900,000 for fellow league members split between all of his or her leagues.<br \/>\nESPN DraftKings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you&#8217;re already playing on DraftKings, there&#8217;s absolutely no reason not to join an absolutely free ESPN League Manager fantasy football league and make yourself eligible for this additional prize. If you&#8217;re already an ESPN League Manager fantasy player but you&#8217;ve never tried DFS, there&#8217;s never been a better time to take the plunge, with a $2 million first-place prize for just $20!<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Play for Huge Prizes Every Week on DraftKings<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard not to notice the incredible growth of daily fantasy sports (DFS) for a person who pays any attention at all to the sporting world. One can hardly turn on a televised sporting event or cruise through the internet for more than a few minutes without running into an ad for DraftKings.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, DraftKings debuted the \u201cMillionaire Maker\u201d series, which awarded a $1 million prize to the winner of a weekly NFL DFS contest. DraftKings has upped the ante even further with the $10M Millionaire Maker for Week 1 of the 2015 season, which will have a $2 million first-place prize for just a $20 entry fee.<\/p>\n<p>Like normal season-long fantasy football leagues, players in daily fantasy football select a team of players and accrue points based on the players&#8217; performances. In regular fantasy football, once a player is drafted he is on that roster each week unless the owner trades or releases him. In DFS, a player who is drafted is on the roster for only the duration of the contest, which can range from a week to just a few hours. Essentially, it&#8217;s fantasy football condensed into a smaller time frame.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about how to play fantasy football at DraftKings here at FantasyWired.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DraftKings and ESPN Fantasy Football ESPN and DraftKings have team up for an incredible promotion for Week 1 of the fantasy football season.
