FanDuel's $6M Touchdown Jackpot is one of those promos that sounds almost too good. Let me break down exactly how it worked so you know what you were — or could be — signing up for.
What exactly is the FanDuel $6M Touchdown Jackpot?
The structure is straightforward. You place an anytime touchdown scorer wager on any eligible player. If that player scored the first touchdown of the game, you got a share of a $3M bonus-bet pool. If your player scored the last touchdown, you got a share of a separate $3M pool. That's $6M total split across two groups of winners. I've read a lot of commission filings and operator terms — this kind of pooled jackpot promo is relatively rare in the TD scorer market, and the numbers here are genuinely large.
Keep in mind: these are bonus bets, not cash. Bonus bets work by returning only the profit on a winning wager, not the stake itself. So your share of that $3M pool is a credit, not a wire transfer. Still worth chasing, but read the fine print before you get excited about dollar amounts.
Who was eligible, and what states could participate?
This was a FanDuel promotion, so availability tracked wherever FanDuel operates — which is roughly 25 states. FanDuel's standard Super Bowl offer (Bet $5, get $350 in Bonus Bets) listed states including AZ, CO, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MD, MI, MO, NC, NJ, OH, PA, TN, and VA, with AR excluded. Availability for the Touchdown Jackpot would follow similar geographic limits, but state restrictions can vary promotion to promotion. Always confirm your state qualifies before depositing. Legality is state-specific — if you're in CA, TX, or GA, standard FanDuel markets aren't available to you at all.

Was there anything else running alongside this promo?
Yes. FanDuel also offered a 30% Profit Boost Token for passing yards markets — specifically the Over/Under and Alt Passing Yards wagers — during Super Bowl LX. That's a separate tool you could stack on a qualifying bet to juice your payout by 30%. Profit boost tokens have their own eligibility rules; bets placed with bonus funds or other tokens typically don't qualify, and cashed-out wagers are usually excluded too.
How does FanDuel compare to other books running TD promos?
DraftKings runs its own Super Bowl promotions and is worth comparing directly. See DraftKings Sportsbook: Super Bowl Betting, App & $100 Bonus for a side-by-side look. The TD scorer market exists at both books, but pooled jackpot structures like FanDuel's $6M promotion are not standard at every operator. For a broader comparison of where to play, Best Super Bowl Betting Sites — Licensed & Regulated covers all the major licensed options.
What should I watch out for with this type of promo?
A few things. First, bonus bets expire — typically within 7 days of being awarded. If you don't use them, they disappear with no cash value. Second, your share of the pool depends on how many other bettors also had the first- or last-TD scorer correct. The more winners, the smaller each share. Third, check whether your qualifying bet type is eligible — cashed-out wagers and bets placed with existing bonus funds are almost always excluded from these offers.
No promo guarantees a win, and no TD scorer bet is a sure thing. 21+, gambling problem? Call 1-800-GAMBLER.
