The New Year Series at PokerStars kicks off in a few days, bringing 359 unique tournaments across three different buy-in orbits for every bankroll. There will be plenty of action and a lot of money up for grabs, as there is $35 million guaranteed in prize money.
While buying into tournaments directly or qualifying for higher buy-in events are the usual ways to get involved, this December there is another way, courtesy of the big Million Dollar Ticket Machine giveaway.
As the name suggests, the promo is set to give out $1,000,000 in prize money, distributed in a form of various tournament tickets, and many of the tickets awarded after December 22 will be specifically for the New Year Series.
The good news is that everyone at PokerStars can join the fun and have a shot at some tickets, even without spending a dime!
