A grid, typically ten rows by ten columns, is established before the Super Bowl. Each square is assigned to a participant. Numbers, usually 0-9, are randomly drawn and assigned to the rows and columns, representing the last digit of each team’s score at the end of each quarter. Prizes are typically awarded at the end of each quarter based on these final digits. For example, if the score at the end of the first quarter is 14-7, the individual assigned the square corresponding to 4 and 7 wins a prize.
This popular game adds an extra layer of excitement to the Super Bowl, engaging participants throughout the game, even those with less interest in the sport itself. It fosters camaraderie among friends, family, or colleagues, and provides a simple, chance-based element of competition. The game’s widespread appeal derives from its easy-to-understand format and the potential for unexpected wins. It has become a Super Bowl tradition for many groups.
