Stokastic DFS Winner
By Sam Smith
September 21, 2026

A Stokastic DFS winner finished first in the $100K Sunday NFL Snap on September 20, 2026, in the second week of the NFL season, and the results screen beside the username reads $20,000.00. The winner, Cracki40, says this is their second year of using Stokastic Sims and that they are "getting the hang of it apparently." This is a case study of that NFL DFS lineup for those asking whether the same tools would have worked for them. One practical note first: the Sims are a paid product inside Stokastic.com's DFS Weekly and Monthly packages, and code CASH10 discounts those packages at the link below.
The Quick Answer
Cracki40, a Stokastic Sims user in a second year with the tool, took first place in the $100K Sunday NFL Snap on September 20, 2026 with a lineup that scored 215.46 points and paid $20,000. Cracki40 credits Stokastic Sims, the paid simulation engine in Stokastic.com's DFS Weekly and Monthly packages.
The Setup: One NFL Sunday, One Lineup
The contest was the $100K Sunday NFL Snap, played on the Sunday of Week 2. The final results screen attached to Cracki40's post shows first place, 215.46 points, and $20,000.00. The post calls it a first big win and a "first introduction" to the Stokastic Hall of Fame.
What The Lineup Shows
This is the winning roster as the final lineup screen displays it.
| Spot | Player | Game (Final) | Stat Line On Screen | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| QB | Dak Prescott | WAS 20 @ DAL 37 | 26/31, 279 yards, 4 TD | 29.76 |
| RB | Derrick Henry | NO 24 @ BAL 17 | 16 carries, 68 yards, 1 TD | 16.2 |
| RB | Chuba Hubbard | CAR 34 @ ATL 3 | 12 carries, 53 yards | 13.4 |
| WR | Jaxon Smith-Njigba | SEA 31 @ ARI 7 | 9 catches, 155 yards, 3 TD | 41 |
| WR | CeeDee Lamb | WAS 20 @ DAL 37 | 8 catches, 153 yards, 2 TD | 34.3 |
| WR | Rashod Bateman | NO 24 @ BAL 17 | 7 catches, 88 yards, 1 TD | 18.3 |
| TE | Dalton Schultz | CIN 20 @ HOU 6 | 12 catches, 140 yards | 23 |
| FLEX | Aaron Jones Sr. | MIN 9 @ CHI 3 | 23 carries, 105 yards | 13.5 |
| DEF | Carolina Panthers | CAR 34 @ ATL 3 | 1 TD, 3 INT, 2 fumble recoveries, 3 sacks | 26 |
That structure is where a simulation earns its keep in NFL DFS. A static projection gives every player one number, and adding nine of them together treats each player as if he were playing alone. Stokastic Sims play the slate out tens of thousands of times, and inside each run the players who share a game move together: a quarterback's big day and his top receiver's big day land in the same simulated Sunday. Out of those runs come the outputs a lineup pool gets built from: projected value for every player at his salary, top-150 exposure, which tracks how often a player shows up in the top-150 scoring lineups across all those simulated slates, leverage against the ownership the field is projected to carry, and an ROI-ranked lineup pool that orders complete builds by how they returned across every run.

What This Win Does And Does Not Mean
$20,000 is one outcome, and it is not a typical one. Large NFL tournaments are top-heavy by design, and most entries lose on most Sundays, including entries from people using very good tools. Cracki40's own post points the same way: a second year with the Sims, and a first big win.
The lineup also cuts against its own neat story, and that belongs on the page. The biggest score in it, Smith-Njigba's 41, came from a player with no teammate on the roster. Seattle won 31 to 7 and nobody else from that game is in the lineup. Schultz and Jones were unpaired too. Correlation is a way to build. It does not explain every point in a winning lineup, and on a different Sunday the unpaired receiver scores 9 and none of this gets written.
One documented winner is evidence of exactly one documented winner. The Sims do not remove risk, nothing here is a promise that they produce this result on any schedule, and they are not an income stream. They improve process, which means better projected value and leverage against the ownership the field ends up carrying, across a pool of lineups instead of one guess. Variance decided that September 20 was the Sunday Dallas, Seattle and Carolina all came in together.
How To Run The Same Setup

If NFL DFS tournaments are what you play, this is the path, step by step.
- Pick a Stokastic.com DFS package that includes the Sims, Weekly or Monthly, and apply code CASH10 at the link below.
- Start each slate with the NFL DFS projections, ownership and stacks in the DataHub. Those are the inputs everything else is built from.
- Run the Sims for your contest and build a pool of lineups, never just one. Look for players whose top-150 exposure runs ahead of the ownership the field is projected to give them, and keep correlated pairs together: quarterback with his receiver, running back with his defense. The contest archetype breakdown explains how the Sims grade builds differently depending on the tournament you are entering.
- Enter only what you can comfortably lose. Most tournament entries do not cash.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is A Result Like This Repeatable?
Not on demand. What repeats is the weekly work of building correlated lineups from simulated slates. The results from that work arrive unevenly, and many weeks they do not arrive at all.
What Does It Cost To Run The Same Tools?
The Sims are part of Stokastic.com's paid DFS Weekly and Monthly packages. Prices change, so check the current number on the pricing page rather than trusting one quoted here.
How Do We Know The Win Is Real?
The results screen attached to Cracki40's post shows the username cracki40 in first place with 215.46 points and $20,000.00. The lineup screen shows the same username, score and payout above all nine players. I have not seen the contest's full standings, and the page says nothing that depends on them.
Would this have worked for you? The Sims show the same numbers to every subscriber, and most NFL slates offer some version of what this lineup held: a quarterback and his receiver, a running back and his defense. The 13.4 was never going to win anything alone. It mattered because of the 26 next to it. Building that way every Sunday, including the Sundays that pay nothing, is the part no package includes. The tool is at the link below, with CASH10 already applied.
