How the $5,000,000 NBA King of the Court DraftKings Payout Was Awarded

DraftKings structured the contest with straightforward rules while delivering massive community prize potential across the slate:

• Highest PRA Total Takes the Crown: The entire $5,000,000 prize pool was awarded based strictly on the single highest combined total of Points + Rebounds + Assists (PRA) recorded across the designated NBA game slate.
• Official Box Score Stats (Overtime Included): Player totals are calculated strictly using official NBA box score statistics. Points, rebounds, and assists each contribute one point toward the total (1 point = 1, 1 rebound = 1, 1 assist = 1). Stats accumulated during overtime periods count, while other categories (such as steals, blocks, and turnovers) do not impact the PRA score.
• Qualifying Prop Backers: Customers qualified for the payout as long as they applied the promo token to an eligible pre-game cash wager ($5+) on the player who finished with the night's top PRA total.
• Tiebreaker Rule: If two or more players tied for the exact same slate-high PRA total, the prize pool was not divided among fewer winners; all customers who backed any of the tied players received an equal split of the $5,000,000 bonus bet pool.
• Crediting Timeline: Winning accounts received their equal share of the $5,000,000 DraftKings Bonus Bet pool credited automatically within 24 hours following the conclusion of the final game on the slate.

Key Promotional Rules:

• King Determination: The title is awarded strictly to the player who tallies the highest combined PRA total on the designated game night.
• Ties: If two or more players tie for the highest PRA total, all users who placed a qualifying bet on any of the tied players split the prize pool equally.
• Wager Requirements: Only pre-game wagers of $5 or more in real cash qualify. Live bets, voided wagers, and cashed-out tickets do not count.
