With one full weekend remaining to enter the Las Vegas Westgate SuperContest, the total entries have already surpassed 2,000.
As of mid-week this week, a total of 2,071 entries have been counted, with a big boost coming from the SuperContest weekend, which was held last week.
At the beginning of SuperContest weekend, the entries totaled 1,400. The weekend was so successful, that in one day, the SuperContest broke a single-day record with 176 entries. Vegas Football Proxy owner Tom Carroll said it was a great weekend with former champions also receiving rings.
“On Saturday evening, Jay Kornegay presented SuperContest Rings to each of the past winners from 2005-2017,” Carroll said. “It was cool to put names and faces to the contest aliases. Then afterwards there was the raffle where five entries to the SuperContest were given away, along with some other great prizes. All in all it was a successful weekend.”
There’s still time to enter the SuperContest, and it appears that many will get in on the action in the final week. The deadline to enter the contest is 11 a.m. Sept. 8.
In order for out-of-town entries to be accepted, proxies are needed. Vegas Football Proxy offers the best opportunity to get involved in the SuperContest and other contests, like the increasingly popular Golden Nugget contest, which has more than doubled in popularity from a year ago.

The SuperContest has increased in popularity year over year. Becoming the next millionaire isn’t easy, though. The stakes have risen in recent years, jumping in first-place prize money from $542,000 in 2013 to the most recent $1.372 million.
This year’s contest is estimated to generate $1.8 million for the first-place winner, thanks to the popularity of the contest. Last year, the contest featured 2,748 entries.
If you’re still preparing to submit, the rules are simple. Contestants pick five NFL games a week against the spread, with the winner receiving a mountain of cash, as displayed last year with $1.372 million.
