Pick6 contest entries are scored based on the number of correct picks you make. Winning entries receive a share of the total prize pool proportional to their share of Standings Points amongst all winners. A contest may have multiple classifications of a winning entry to account for voided and pardoned pick scenarios. Learn more about the Voided Pick Policy.
For example only, a 5-Pick NFL contest with a $10,000 total prize pool may have the following winning entry score classifications: 5/5, 4/5, 4/4, 3/3, and 2/2.
In this example, all winning entries would win a share of the $10,000. The exact share would be calculated based on the amount of Standing Points for each entry. Learn more about how Standings Points are calculated.
If your Pick6 contest entry finishes with enough correct picks to be prize eligible, you will receive the Base Payout equal to the Base Multiplier for your prize tier as soon as DraftKings has verified the stat results for the related games. The Base Payout may process in advance of the final contest results, in which time any additional winnings will be paid out as Extra winnings.
Extra Winnings refers to the amount of your entry’s total contest winnings minus the Base Payout. Once all games in the Pick Group have finished and stats are verified, your pick results will be compared to the entries you competed against. If your share of winnings exceeds the Base Multiplier, you will receive this extra payout.
