FanDuel Ads Debut on CNN During Big Breaking News Day

FanDuel, the world’s largest Daily Fantasy Sports site, began airing ads on CNN Wednesday for the first time, our sister site DFS911.com reports.

The FanDuel ad claims players can win $1 million with just a $5 entry.  The firm received $250 million in fresh investment money earlier in the month and planned to use these funds for contests and marketing.

It was an especially big news day with a larger-than-typical viewer audience watching CNN after a tragic AM live on-air shooting deaths of two WDBJ-Roanoke, Virginia news personalities.
