Day 1c Of The Mystery Millions Nearly Doubles Field Size
Event #5: $1,000 Mystery Millions saw another 5,290 entries join the 5,519 players who had already entered. This brings the number of entries up to 10,809 entries and the prize pool up to $4,665,460.
Last year's Mystery Millions hit 18,188 entries after getting 8,067 on Day 1d. It is a close thing, but this year's event looks on track to just about beat 2023's numbers.
