This brings the total prize pool for both contests to $20,266,000.
The last six days of registration were the busiest with an average of $1 million in fees from 1,000 entrants each day – a new record for Circa’s NFL contests.
Circa reported that entrants to Survivor increased by 53.9% from 9,267 last season to 14,266 this year.

Last year the main prize of $9,267,000 was split evenly between four winners.
Speaking to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Circa owner Derek Stevens said:
“$14,266,000 of entries into Circa Survivor is really amazing. Great for Las Vegas and great for football fans. Overall, having $20,083,000 of entries into both contests is also amazing.
We almost got to $6 million in the Millions but were able to cut the overlay down from last year. I consider the $183,000 overlay our gift to Circa Sports customers.”
