I follow the growing number of apps and games that are emerging from Major League Baseball with solid approval. While not everything MLB does is great (I hate interleague play for instance) but most of the apps and programs serve to enhance baseball’s fans experience.
I only glanced over the Million Dollar Pick’em game the first time I noticed it but did not really give it any thought. Then while waiting for some of the Friday night games to start so that I could have one running on my computer I noticed an article at MLB.Com.
It talked about how three fans were in the running to win a million dollars this weekend playing the game, and laid out a number that had won thousands of dollars already playing the game.
The game is simple to understand, but hard to win. All you have to do is pick all of the winning teams on both Tuesday and Friday in the same week to win the $1 million prize. Picks must be in by 7 pm ET, but can be changed up to that point A few other rules, US citizens only, you must be at least 18 years old to play. Easy right? I tried it for Friday and did not win, and was not that close to be honest.
The game is free, so the entry price is no barrier, and the top weekly score is $1,000. I am a bit surprised that no one has won yet, or if they have I have not seen it publicized yet. The reason is not that I see a lot of experts picking games, instead I view it much like the NCAA’s March Madness, there always seems to be someone that picks everybody, or close to it, and since this keeps repeating, there are more chances.
