A grid-based game of chance, commonly used during the annual National Football League championship, relies on participants selecting squares on a 10×10 grid. Each row and column is assigned a digit from 0 to 9, typically determined randomly. After each scoring play in the football game, the last digit of each team’s score is used to identify a specific square on the grid. The owner of that square wins a predetermined prize.
Its popularity stems from its simplicity and accessibility, allowing individuals with limited football knowledge to participate in a communal event. It provides a fun and engaging way to add excitement to the sporting spectacle without requiring in-depth strategic understanding. Historically, such wagering formats have existed in various forms, adapted to different sporting events and social gatherings, offering a low-stakes, high-engagement activity.
The following sections will delve into aspects such as variations in prize structures, optimal strategies (or lack thereof due to the random nature), and considerations for organizing and managing this particular game format effectively.
