Claim Your NFFC Prizes

Greg Ambrosius · Post by **Greg Ambrosius** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 2:30 am

All NFFC prize winners from 2010 will be able to claim their prizes this week on their Home page, with payments going out shortly after that. The NFFC is part of the Fanball contest group that included thousands of winners and millions of dollars in prizes. All Fanball football contest winners are getting paid at the same time as the process is automated to verify everything and make the payment process run smoothly.

Here's how the process will work for NFFC owners and we will email this to everyone as well:

In the next day or two, a My Account link will appear under your NFFC HOME link. Click on that and you'll see a list of prizes you've won. Verify the amounts to make sure they are accurate. You'll also see if we have a W-9 signed form on file and if so you are good to go. If not, there will be a link that allows you to fill out a W-9 form online and submit it to Fanball's accounting department.

After that, click on the Prizes link and there will be a Claim Prizes link there. We are not keeping any money in accounts, so obviously pick the option of receiving cash as your payment. Once that is done, accounting will have everything it needs to start the payment process and checks will begin going out shortly. Because of the large amount of checks going out, payment could take anywhere from 1-4 weeks, but the sooner you claim your prize the sooner you'll likely receive payment.

Congrats to all NFFC winners in 2010. If there are any questions, contact me at [email protected]. For anyone who won a contest with a free 2011 NFFC Main Event entry as the prize, you will be paid in cash the equivalent of that prize. All prizes will be paid in full by Fanball.

Thanks for your patience everyone and CONGRATS!!

This is good news Greg.

Quick question, will the cash value for the baseball free entries be placed in the accounts the same time as the football prizes or is that down the line?

I asked this question today but didn't get an answer. I'll post that as soon as we can because I think there are close to 20 owners who need this resolved in the NFBC shortly. I'll stay on this and respond as soon as I get an answer. Thanks man.

That might be why you are seeing the total different than you expected.
