Football fans, it’s that time again – the Mega Jackpot is live with a whopping R3 MILLION prize pool on the line. All you need to do is get your predictions right across 13 fixtures. Simple in theory, but as always, football has a way of surprising us.
We’ve lined up five key games to watch this weekend – matches that could tilt your Jackpot slip from ordinary to extraordinary.
Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion (24 Aug, 15:00)
Brighton are the Premier League’s entertainers, with fast-paced football and plenty of goals. Everton, on the other hand, are scrappy and fighting to prove they belong in the top flight. This one’s tricky: Brighton are favourites on paper, but Goodison Park can turn into a fortress when the Toffees need it most.
💡 Insight: If you’re chasing safe points, you’ll probably lean Brighton. But Jackpot winners often come from brave calls — could a home upset be the difference?

IFK Varnamo vs Hacken Gothenburg (24 Aug, 16:30)
- Sweden’s Allsvenskan might not be on every fan’s radar, but that’s what makes these fixtures Jackpot gold. Hacken are known for their attacking firepower, while Varnamo love frustrating bigger sides.
- 💡 Insight: Hacken usually score goals for fun, but Varnamo at home could push this into draw territory. One of those “don’t ignore it” games.
- IFK Värnamo | BK Häcken
CA Osasuna vs Valencia (24 Aug, 17:00)
La Liga football in Pamplona is always fiery. Osasuna are tough to break down at El Sadar, but Valencia carry history and a growing pool of young talent.
💡 Insight: Expect a cagey, low-scoring match. Many players might mark this as a draw — could be worth the cover.

Fulham vs Manchester United (24 Aug, 17:30)
This is where most Jackpot players will lock in United — but beware. Fulham have a knack for making life hard for the big boys at Craven Cottage.
💡 Insight: Manchester United are rarely a sure bet these days. If you’re playing for the R3 million, consider splitting your prediction here (1X2).

Cagliari vs Fiorentina (24 Aug, 18:30)
Serie A always brings drama. Cagliari are scrappers at home, while Fiorentina are pushing for another European finish.
💡 Insight: Fiorentina are stronger on paper, but this fixture has “banana peel” written all over it. Expect late goals and drama.
