Nevada widow wins Fox Bet Super 6 $100G prize: 'It’s a big help'
The mother of 4 says 'Christmas will be good' this year
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A Nevada widow who won Sunday’s Fox Bet Super 6 $100,000 prize told "Fox & Friends" on Tuesday that "it’s a big help."
The Fox Bet player, identified as Paula, made all the right picks for Sunday's NFL matchups after predicting six of six winners and their margins of victory. Fox Bet Super 6 is a free-to-play app that typically focuses on sporting events, but also offers prizes for correct predictions related to the high-stakes presidential and vice presidential debates.
The single mother of four said that when she found out she won she "didn't think it was true at first" and once it sank in, she "started running around screaming and yelling and crying."

She noted that she picked the teams she liked and "probably bet in less than a minute."
"I wish I had a great analytical thing for you, but no," she told host Ainsley Earhardt.

"I know, it was really cool," she said in response.

"It's really fun," she explained of the app. "You can do it at home so that's the reason I downloaded it.
"It's only the third time that I had ever done anything," Paula continued. "I bet [on] the debate, I did football last Sunday and just did it this Sunday."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Paula said she plans to buy herself a car with the money she won and "spoil her kids," one of whom wants an Xbox Series X.
"Christmas will be good" this year, she said.
She added that next year she will think about buying a house.

Fox Bet interim CEO Kip Levin told Fox News prior to the first Trump-Biden debate the game is a "fun, lighthearted way for you to engage."
"It’s not gambling because of the free-to-play model," he explained. "Super 6 is risk-free. Customers are not wagering anything -- it’s a free entry to answer some questions, engage in the debate in a new way, and potentially win some money if your predictions were correct."
