A grid, typically 10×10, is used for this popular Super Bowl game. Participants purchase squares, each assigned a pair of random numbers corresponding to the score of each team at the end of each quarter. Prizes are awarded based on these numbers matching the last digit of each team’s score. For instance, if the score at the end of the first quarter is 7-3, the person with the square intersecting 7 and 3 wins the designated prize for that quarter.
This system simplifies the process of determining winners and distributing prizes, eliminating potential disputes. Its ease of use contributes to the game’s widespread appeal, making it a common feature of Super Bowl parties and workplace pools. The structured approach offers a fair and transparent method for all involved. Historically, manual calculations and tracking were required, but digital tools have streamlined the process, further enhancing its popularity.
