QuickPicks: What's the Difference Between Top Score and Perfect Score?

Not sure which game mode to choose? Here's how Top Score and Perfect Score work and when to use each for Game Mode.

Top Score

Win your contest for the biggest payout available. Even if you miss picks, you can still win as long as your score is higher than everyone else's. If there are multiple winners, the prize payout is split among them.

Perfect Score

If you get all picks correct (no ties or voided picks), your payout is guaranteed. If any pick is incorrect (or pushes), there will not be a payout.
