The two Circa Survivor winners took vastly different approaches to the contest.

But they arrived at the same destination Friday night for a victory celebration at the D Las Vegas, where they each collected an oversized check for $3,066,500.

The two entries made 20 straight winning selections to split the $6,133,000 prize in the contest, in which contestants pick one straight-up NFL winner each week but can use each team only once.

A field of 6,133 entries paid $1,000 each. Alex Brown, a 31-year-old Henderson resident who is engaged, had only one entry, named Browna. But that was all he needed to become a multimillionaire.
