A fantasy sports fan play about to pay $1 billion

2015 is shaping up to be a big year for fantasy sports site DraftKings, but it may be just as big for a handful of players on the site.

At some point this year, the company will cross the $1 billion mark for total prizes awarded since its 2012 launch. As if that werent enough, DraftKings will also be awarding more than $1 billion in 2015 alone.

The draw of such big payouts is one of the reasons DraftKings more than 1 million members spend more than four hours per week playing all manner of fantasy sports on the site, from football to golf.

The four-hour-a-week DraftKings habit is roughly twice the amount of time the average American spends playing real sports, or even exercising. (Tweet this)
