UFL Super 6 contest recap: Winners talk prize money, reactions

What's better than watching football with your friends and family? Winning money at the same time!

You can get the best of both worlds every week with our new free-to-play FOX Super 6 contest. 

The game has been live since the beginning of the 2023 NFL season, and we have already given away a ton of cash. Across our four Super 6 contests to date (NFL, NFL Network, Daytona 500 and UFL), $272,600 has been won in total. And when looking at just our seven UFL contest periods, contestants have already won $12,600.

Let's take a fun look back at the first seven weeks of the UFL contest with two of our past winners.

Football Fan Wins Big

Real people win real money on a weekly basis playing the contest.

Take Chris from North Carolina, who won the UFL Week 1 contest.

The Information Technology professional says he's been playing Super 6 for some time and that his strategy for winning is as simple as "trying to guess the answer."

Not only does Chris watch the UFL, but he's a huge fan of the NFL's Buffalo Bills and the NHL's Carolina Hurricanes. His favorite players? Josh Allen and Sebastian Aho.

The sports fan, who plans to spend his prize on a family vacation, admits that he and his friends were excited upon realizing he'd won. And, he's already got his eyes on the next competition.

"I'm excited to get my picks submitted each week to see if I can work my way back to the top of the leader board."

Big Winner from the Bayou

Todd from Louisiana won in Week 4.

The best part? Not only did Week 4 mark Todd's first Super 6 win, but it was also the first time he played the game.

"I didn’t really have a strategy going in," the technical school student revealed. "I just recognized some of the guys from when they played college ball and went off of that."

Like him, Todd's friends and family had a hard time believing he'd actually won. But when the reality set in, he said "the money will probably go toward a hunting trip I have planned with my father, uncle, and papaw."

Todd doesn't have strong predictions regarding how the UFL season will unfold. However, when it comes to his football fandom, the Louisiana native says he follows players like Danny Etling or Jontre Kirklin "just because they are LSU guys."

Perfection, Hardest and Easiest

Every week, the contest challenges its participants with fun, knowledge-oriented questions. We dug into the data to highlight a few nuggets from the first six weeks of the UFL season.

Biggest upset on question No. 6

Our sixth question is always a pick against the spread for our featured UFL game on FOX. Our biggest upset on question No. 6 came in Week 6 with only 12.93% of entries correctly picking the DC Defenders to Win, or lose by 1 point or fewer against the San Antonio Brahmas

AJ McCarron is a fan favorite
