Some of the best free Super Bowl contests for 2020

DraftKings Super Bowl Squares: $54,000 In Prizes

DraftKings is also offering up its version of Super Bowl squares, which will be free to residents of New Jersey. Pick the last digit of the score for each team and then after each quarter, you’ll get points if you’ve guessed correctly. In total, they’ll be giving away $54,000 in prizes.

Volvo Safety Sunday: $1 Million Giveaway

Swedish automaker Volvo, who is known for the safety rating of his cars, is running a Super Bowl sweepstakes to promote the topic for the big game. How it works is you’ll have to visit VolvoSafetySunday.com before the game starts, design your own Volvo from 2020 models and from the summary page, click on “Try To Win This Volvo”. That’ll give you a unique code to enter the contest. If there’s a safety in the Super Bowl, they’ll give away $1 million in cars.

Rocket Mortgage: Win Up To $500,000

Rocket Mortgage usually has a funny ad running during the Super Bowl and this year, they’re also running a free contest. Essentially, it’s one big Super Bowl squares contest. Everyone who enters plays the popular Super Bowl Squares game and then they’ll put the winners into one big draw. The winner of that draw gets up to $50,000. Just by playing, you also enter a big draw for all participants to win $500,000.

H-E-B: Free Groceries For Life

Draftkings Live Contests

When you’re watching the big game, keep an eye for the Eva Longoria commercial with grocery store H-E-B. You could win a lifetime of free groceries.

How it works is you’ll want to download the H-E-B app and register for an account. When you see the 60-second ad, you’ll have to remember the 10 H-E-B items from the commercial. Those who correctly submit the 10 items will be put into a draw to win free groceries for life.

Sabra’s Super Bowl 2020 Sweepstakes: With $100,000

The popular hummus company is launching a contest where one lucky player will dip into $100,000. In total, they’re giving away about $500,000 but the $100,000 is the biggest cash prize.

The RiDIPulous Sweepstakes is pretty simple: from now until 4:59 p.m. ET on Super Bowl Sunday (February 2), enter into the sweepstakes. Five lucky names drawn will win $100,000 and free hummus for a year.

Super Bowl contests with food freebies

Although you can’t win millions (or even thousands) with these promos, it’s worth noting these appetizing incentives available around the country in case you want to get a bite while watching the Super Bowl.

Buffalo Wild Wings

The famous sports bar and wing spot will be offering up free wings at all of their nationwide locations…if the game goes to overtime. If it does, they’ll hand out a free snack-sized order to every patron in their American and Canadian locations.

Applebee’s

Not to be outdone (or maybe out-winged), Applebee’s also has a freebie for foodies. Any delivery order totaling $40 or more placed on Super Bowl Sunday will get a free order of wings. Just use the promo code “FREEWINGS” at check out. Only valid for the first 40,000 orders.

DiGiorno

Thinking about DiGiorno instead of delivery? The frozen pizza giant might be able to hook you up. If at any point in the game the score is either 3-14 or 14-3, they’ll tweet out a link where fans can enter to get a free coupon for a free frozen pizza. The coupon will be redeemable in early March, ahead of Pi Day, which is March 14.

Update from DraftKings as of April 13, 2020:

“Unfortunately, due to escalating health concerns related to COVID-19 and guidance from government agencies, among others, DraftKings has decided to cancel the Sports Betting Spring Championship and suspend the Fantasy Basketball World Championship. While DraftKings wants to hold the FBWC at a later date if and when NBA play resumes, DraftKings cannot provide any further details until we learn more about the NBA’s decision.”

Want to play for a piece of $100 million this year? DraftKings is giving daily fantasy players and sports bettors a chance to do that in 2020 with its “Championship Series.”

There will be at least 8 live championships and more than 40 competitions in all across DFS and sports gambling. Almost any American can take part in any part of the championships with dreams of millions at stake throughout 2020.

How can you get in on the action for the biggest betting and fantasy contests around? We have all the answers about the DraftKings Championship Series, the DK Fantasy Tournament of Champions and the DK Sports Betting Championships.

You can even win a trip to the Big Game if you’re lucky and skilled enough.

What is the DraftKings Championship Series?

The championship series is all of the biggest DFS and sports betting events combined into one “super event” if you will. DraftKings is a DFS operator around the country and an online sportsbook operator in select states.

A lot of these efforts had been going on separately over the years, but branding them together shows DraftKings doing something that almost no one else is doing. It’s really the only company doing sports betting events like this, other than some of the existing handicapping contests in Nevada.

With the ability to offer both huge DFS and sports betting contests, DraftKings is unique in the US marketplace from that standpoint. Not even rival FanDuel does a large handicapping contest.

Draftkings Live Contests Live

The series is made up of a lot of DFS competitions and three sports betting events. We’ll tackle the gambling portion first.

What are the DraftKings Sports Betting Championships?

There are three championship events being put on by DraftKings Sportsbook over the course of the year:

  • The DraftKings Sports Betting Spring Championship (Note: Now cancelled)
  • The DraftKings Fall Sports Betting Fall Championship
  • The DraftKings Sports Betting National Championship

All of these will presumably be held in New Jersey, where, but that’s only confirmed for the upcoming spring version of the event.

You do not have to be in New Jersey to sign up for the championships. You will need to travel to NJ in order to take part in the event and actually wager, however.

What should I know about the DraftKings Sports Betting Spring Championship?

The first DraftKings sports betting championship of the year will take place during the men’s Division 1 college basketball tournament. Tournament betting is big business, and it makes a lot of sense for DraftKings to hold the event during the first weekend of the tourney.

  • When: March 19-22
  • Where: Weehawken, NJ; you only have to be located in NJ to take part in the event, but there is a VIP location for contest entrants here.
  • Prizes: $1.5 million guaranteed prize pool, $500,000 to first place.
  • How to enter: Direct buy-in ($5,000; email [email protected] for details) or win a DraftKings DFS contest to qualify.

In order to take part in the championship, you will need to have the DraftKings Sportsbook app (or access to a computer browser) and a DraftKings online account.

What are the rules for the spring sports betting championship?

Here are the rules for the spring championship, which will be fairly similar for other championships.

  • The $5,000 entry fee is broken up into a $2,000 bankroll for use in the contest and $3,000 that goes to the contest prize pool.
  • You can only bet on pro and college basketball games.
  • You have to bet at least $1,000. (Hint: You probably aren’t going to win if you only bet $1,000.)
  • The contest is ranked by who has the largest bankroll after the final basketball game on Sunday. The top 25 bettors will win additional cash prizes.
  • You get to keep your betting bankroll after the contest via your DraftKings account.

What should I know about the DraftKings Sports Betting Fall Championship?

We don’t have any details yet. The Lines will update this section when we do.

It is likely to take place during a weekend that has pro and college football games, and will likely occur in New Jersey.

How I get into the DK sports betting championships?

There are two ways to get into the championships:

  • Direct buy-in: For the spring championships, it’s $5,000 to enter the contest directly, plus your costs for traveling to and staying in New Jersey for the championship. DraftKings has not announced the direct buy-ins for the other two events, yet?
  • Qualify via a DraftKings DFS contest: There will be various qualifiers leading up to the championships that you can enter to get into the championships. In addition to the entry fee, this will include a prize package for a hotel stay and travel expenses. DraftKings’ DFS contests are available in more than 40 states. Contests in the DraftKings DFS lobby will explain how you can qualify on a contest-by-contest basis; usually, you will have to take first place in the qualifier in order to get the sports betting championship entry.
  • Win a seasonal championship: The winners of the fall and spring championships automatically get into the national championship.

What is the DraftKings Sports Betting National Championship?

It is the biggest sports betting contest outside of Nevada and will have a million-dollar top prize. We’re still waiting for more details, but it will likely take place late in 2020 or early in 2021 and take place in NJ around football season.

Here is The Lines’ coverage of the 2019 championship.

What is the DraftKings Fantasy Tournament of Champions?

The Fantasy Tournament of Champions is a first-time collection of events for DraftKings. It consists of:

  • 30 “Millionaire” Championships
  • Five online championships
  • Five live championships

These are all DFS contests that take place on the DraftKings app and site. The winners of these 40 contests will get an entry into the grand finale, a live contest that takes place at the 2021 Big Game in Tampa.

New! $400,000 League of Legends Online Fantasy Championship
