Last night, we brought together the biggest names in sports, entertainment, and influencer culture for the 2024 PrizePicks World Championship in Atlanta.

PrizePicks continues to build a thriving community where people come together to enjoy the games they love and create meaningful connections. A huge thank you to everyone who participated and made this event a success. The future of fantasy & sports entertainment is here, and we’re just getting started.
