A grid-based game of chance, often associated with American football, involves participants purchasing squares on a 10×10 grid. Numbers from 0 to 9 are randomly assigned to the rows and columns after all squares have been claimed. The numbers corresponding to the score of the football game at the end of each quarter, or at halftime and the final score, determine the winners for each period. As an example, if the score at the end of the first quarter is Team A 14, Team B 7, the person whose square corresponds to row 4 and column 7 would win that quarter’s prize.

Its historical use has often been tied to social occasions centered around sporting events, fostering community engagement and friendly competition.
