Circa Millions Q1 Recap: Winners, Heartbreaks & What’s Next
10-02-2025
The first quarter of the 2025 Circa Millions is officially in the books, and it was one for the ages. After four weeks of sweat, spreads, and strategy, four contestants split the $264,500 Quarter 1 prize pool, walking away with $66,125 each. Among them? SCRIM67, who rolled with Winners Circle Proxy and now has bragging rights as one of the Q1 Champs.
At the end of every quarter, the top finishers earn cash prizes based on their record against the spread. The prize pool is set, and ties are split evenly. For example, if four players tie for 1st (like what happened with Circa Millions Q1 winners this year) , they share the combined payout for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place.
Even though it was a tie for 5th, they still walked away with payout money thanks to Circa’s split rules. Proof that our players aren’t just competing, they’re cashing.
How Quarterly Payouts Work in Circa Millions
In case you’re confused about how Circa Millions Quarterly payouts work, think of it like golf tournaments. In golf, if two players tie for 2nd place, the prize money for 2nd and 3rd gets combined and split between them. Circa Millions works the same way, ties mean the prize spots get pooled together and divided evenly.
Each Circa Millions contest is broken into four quarters:
- Q1: Weeks 1–4
- Q2: Weeks 5–9
- Q3: Weeks 10–13
- Q4: Weeks 14–18
The Quarterly Prize Breakdown looks like this:
- 1st Place: $150,000
- 2nd Place: $60,000
- 3rd Place: $40,000
- 4th Place: $15,000
- 5th Place: $10,000
SCRIM67 Takes Down Circa Millions Q1
Let’s talk about SCRIM67, because this is massive. After four grueling weeks of Circa Millions, one of the most competitive handicapping contests in the world, SCRIM67 battled through the spreads, survived the chaos of Week 4, and came out on top as one of the four official Quarter 1 champions.
This isn’t just a casual brag. Q1 champs in Circa Millions are cashing in $264,500, and with four players tying for the top spot, that meant $66,125 each. One month of NFL action and SCRIM67 hit the jackpot!
SCRIM67 signed up through Winners Circle Proxy. That makes this a win for our entire community. We’d like to thank SCRIM67 for trusting WCP with their contest entries and in the process just turned their weekly picks into over sixty grand in prize money in the very first quarter of the season.
The Just Missed: A Tale of Week 4 Heartbreak
What makes it even more impressive is how close and competitive Q1 was. We saw HE IS THE ONE, one of our own, leading after Week 3 and looking like a lock to win it all. But a tough finish in the final week dropped them out of the top spot. Still, it’s a reminder of just how razor-thin the margins are in Circa Millions, one week can change everything.
And they weren’t alone. 13 contestants tied for 5th place, just missing the money line. Out of those, an impressive six signed up through Winners Circle Proxy:
- @DNANA
- ALATOS
- BBCT
- GO PACK GO!
- HE IS THE ONE
- PPW
If this is just Quarter 1, imagine what’s coming in Q2. The slate resets, the prize pool is fresh, and everyone’s chasing the next big check. But for now, it’s time to give a massive congratulations to SCRIM67, our WCP-backed Circa Millions Quarter 1 Champion. And another congratulations to our six entries who just made it and were able to walk away with a payout day!
Looking Ahead: Quarter 2 Reset
The beauty of Circa Millions? With Q1 wrapped, it’s back to zero for everyone. Week 5 kicks off Quarter 2, which means every contestant has a clean slate and another shot at stacking up wins. Whether you’re chasing quarter prizes, season-long glory, or just trying to stay alive in the grind, it’s time to lock in.
So congrats again to SCRIM67 and the rest of the Q1 Champs, and props to all the WCP entries that battled to the end. Quarter 2 is here, get your game faces on.
