Abstract: In this paper we determine the irreducible projective representations of sporadic simple groups over an arbitrary algebraically closed field F, whose image contains an almost cyclic matrix of prime-power order. A matrix M is called cyclic if its characteristic and minimum polynomials coincide, and we call M almost cyclic if, for a suitable a in F, M is similar to diag(a Id_h, M_1), where M_1 is cyclic and 0 <= h <= n. The paper also contains results on the generation of sporadic simple groups by minimal sets of conjugate elements.
