STAMFORD, Conn. – October 8, 2019 – More than $1 million has now been won on NBC Sports Predictor, the highly rated free-to-play sports gaming app. The milestone coincided with the season’s first perfect 70-point score in the popular new football game Sunday Night 7, which awards $100,000 in guaranteed cash prizes to top-scoring fans each contest.

‘Maggie19’ – a Vikings fan from Minnesota – answered all seven questions correctly in last Sunday’s contest to win the $50,000 first-place prize. Overall, 25 fans have each now won $10,000 or more on the Predictor app, and over 80,000 people have won cash prizes.

In partnership with premier game developer Boom Shakalaka, NBC Sports Predictor launched last December with Premier League Pick ‘Em as its first game, and has since expanded with NASCAR and Golf Pick ‘Em games and Sunday Night 7. To participate in this week’s contests, click here.
