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
-
