Social sports app Sportlobster has launced its ?1m Euros Predictor competition, challenging consumers to predict the exact outcome of Euro 2016.

Competitors are tasked with predicting 16 teams that will progress from the group stage, including their position, and then the teams progressing from each knock-out game from the second round through to the outcome of final to win the jackpot.

Andy Meikle, co-founder and CEO of Sportlobster, said: “The Sportlobster ?1 million Euros Predictor will offer the biggest prize on the market – a truly life-changing sum of money.”

“To put it into perspective, at the start of the season, fans who bet ten pounds on Leicester winning the Premier League would have won ?50,000,” he continued.
