FanDuel, the world’s largest Daily Fantasy Sports site, began airing ads on CNN Wednesday for the first time, our sister site DFS911.com reports.

The FanDuel ad claims players can win $1 million with just a $5 entry.  The firm received $250 million in fresh investment money earlier in the month and planned to use these funds for contests and marketing.

It was an especially big news day with a larger-than-typical viewer audience watching CNN after a tragic AM live on-air shooting deaths of two WDBJ-Roanoke, Virginia news personalities.
