Please join me in fighting lung cancer, which claimed my mom's life in 2008, through the supremely fun "Super Squares" effort.
If you're new to Super Squares, it goes like this: you can win prize $$ depending on the Super Bowl score after each of the game's four quarters.
WHAT DOES IT COST?To play, it's $20 for one square, three for $50, seven for $100. Free bonus square for using paypal when you participate at $50 and $100.
HOW DO YOU WIN MONEY?Each square on the grid gives you ownership of a possible game score. Prizes are awarded at the end of every quarter. So at halftime if it's Patriots 27, Giants 16, the squareholder with Patriots 7 Giants 6 wins prize money.
Payouts are $150 for three quarters, and $250 for the final score. Your numbers will be generated at random. The grids will be posted here at the blog as they fill up. I use the website random.org to generate the numbers.
You get fresh numbers every quarter, too - so if your first quarter numbers are terrible (9,9), fear not because you get a fresh set for Q2 and Q3 and Q4. The grid shows it all.
No matter the score, you'll always have a chance to win with "blitz prizes" -- $10 awards that will be drawn on the spot when unusual events unfold during the game. We'll draw a winner when:
- there's an interception or a lost fumble, a two-point conversion, a missed extra point or a safety:
- a coach throws his "Challenge" flag;
- there's a new commercial featuring a talking baby (thank you, Betsy); or
- any other loopy thing we think up between now and gametime - suggestions welcome!
HOW DO YOU PAY? Please use paypal if you can because it makes things so much easier. Players at $50 and $100 even get a FREE BONUS SQUARE by using paypal. If you pay by check, please write the check to American Lung Association and send it to me at 2513 Key West Way, Sacramento, CA, 95826.
When you log in to paypal, use the Send Money tab then select "Personal" and "Gift." That way paypal will not charge any fee on the transaction. Yay! The paypal destination email is ksmithfagan@gmail.com.
HOW DOES YOUR MONEY SUPPORT THE AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION?Every penny from Super Squares goes to the cause (after paying the prize winners). My sisters Betsy and Kathy ride every year in ALA/Chicago's Bike Trek fundraiser as Team Barbie (mom's name). I deliver the Super Squares funds into the ride's donation portal.
Thanks for playing! And thank you for fighting lung cancer in my mom's memory.
