Why a hundred boxes
Ten across, ten down, and every possible pair of final digits appears exactly once. That is the whole reason the ten by ten is the standard: a 17–13 score and a 27–3 score both land on the same box, 7 across and 3 down, and there is no score in football that lands nowhere.
It also means every box is worth the same before the numbers are drawn. A hundred boxes at five dollars is a five hundred dollar pool, usually split four ways across the quarters. Write that split on the sheet before you sell anything.
The catch is filling it. A hundred boxes wants fifteen to thirty people buying several each, and an empty box is a box nobody gets paid for. If your group is smaller, a 50 square sheet or a 25 square sheet still covers every score — each row just carries more than one digit.
Want it on paper first and filled in by hand? The blank printable sheet is the same grid with room to write.
Questions
When should I draw the numbers?
After every square has been claimed. If the digits are known while squares are still being sold, people can pick the good ones — that is the whole reason numbers come last.
How does a square win?
Take the last digit of each team's score at the end of a quarter. Find that digit across the top and down the side, and the square where they meet wins. A 17–13 score pays the square at 7 across and 3 down.
Can one person own several squares?
Yes. Write “Jamie x5” in the name list and the draw will give Jamie five squares at random.
Is anything saved to an account?
No. There is no account. Your sheet is stored in this browser, and a copy travels inside the share link if you copy one — never on a server.
Does Pickani handle the money?
No. You can type a square price and payout notes so they print on the sheet, but Pickani never collects entries or pays winners. Organizers handle that themselves.
What are 50 and 25 square sheets?
Smaller pools for smaller groups. On a 50-square sheet each row covers two digits; on a 25-square sheet both axes do. Everything else works the same way.
