Super Bowl 2026 Squares to Benefit American Cancer Society



How to Play


Super Bowl Squares – Official Rules

Overview

This grid follows the traditional Super Bowl Squares format. Participants purchase one or more squares on a 10×10 grid for a chance to win based on the score at the end of each quarter.


Grid Format

  • The grid consists of 100 squares (10×10).

  • Each square represents a unique combination of the last digit (0–9) of each team’s score.

  • Squares are filled on a first-come, first-served basis unless otherwise stated.


Number Assignment

  • Team numbers (0–9) are randomly assigned to the grid after all squares are filled.

  • This ensures fairness and prevents any participant from choosing squares based on numbers.


Scoring & Winners

  • Winners are determined by the last digit of each team’s score at the end of:

    • 1st Quarter

    • 2nd Quarter (Halftime)

    • 3rd Quarter

    • Final Score

  • Each quarter is scored independently.

  • Overtime (if played) counts toward the final score only.


Payouts

  • 50% of total funds collected will be donated to the American Cancer Society.

  • The remaining 50% is paid out to winners

  • Winnings Breakdown for Squares

    • End of 1st Quarter: 10%
    • End of 2nd Quarter: 10%
    • End of 3rd Quarter: 10%
    • End of Game: 20%
    • Payout to American Cancer Society: 50%


  • If a square is unclaimed, the payout for that quarter carries over or is handled at the organizer’s discretion.


General Conditions

  • All sales are final once numbers are assigned.

  • The organizer’s interpretation of these rules is final.
