Royden Hudson Wins $900k in the Fanatics 5 Jackpot
22 Julio 2024 - 5:09PM
Today, Fanatics, a global digital sports platform, announced that
Royden Hudson from Tennessee won $900,000 in Fanatics 5 Jackpot,
the company’s new free to play game available on the Fanatics app.
Michael Rubin, CEO of Fanatics, called Hudson, 56, of Chattanooga,
TN to congratulate him on his epic win.
Fanatics 5 Jackpot is a free to play game on the new Fanatics
app available for download on iOS and Android. The Fanatics 5
Jackpot prize is normally $250k, but since the Home Run Derby is a
marquee event on the sports calendar, the total prize was pulsed to
up to $1 million for the single event. On Monday, July 15, Hudson
correctly picked the winner of four first round derby matchups
along with how many home runs the winner recorded in those
matchups. The fifth question saw Hudson correctly predict the
length of Adolis Garcia's longest home run in round one. Hudson
predicted 440 feet or under and Garcia’s longest home run was 435
feet.
“I have enjoyed playing these new free to play games on the
Fanatics app,” said Hudson. “I took a chance and went with my gut
in selecting Adolis Garcia and because he launched a 435-foot home
run, I won this life changing money and I am going to take my wife
to Hawaii.”
