One last turnover.

The Chiefs intercept a desperate Niners pass and that's a $20 blitz prize for Roz.

Challenge flag!

The Kyle Shanahan challenge flag causes a $10 blitz prize for Mulqueen.

The camera finds Ms. Knowles.

The sighting of a celebrity with just one name - that would be Beyonce - triggers a $10 blitz award for Pam Mahony. (Thank you, J Bo.)

Another pick by the Niner D.

Mahomes' second pick earns a $10 blitz prize for Colleen Fagan.

Niners take control, and the zeroes pay off in Q3.

San Francisco takes a 20-10 lead into the fourth quarter, and the 0/0 combo earns $150 for these lucky players.

. P Cimaglia
. Frank/Sally Cammarata

Niners pick is good news for Omar.

That interception by the 49ers triggered a $10 blitz prize for Omar Perez.

Halftime winners.

When Kittle caught the deep ball just before half, it looked like the scoreboard might change, but the penalty preserved the status quo and that was good news for these $150 winners.

. Pam Mahony
. Joe DeMaro
. Morrisey Jo

Congrats!

Jimmy G throws the pick.

The interception of a Niners pass by the Chiefs defense triggers a blitz prize of

First Quarter Winners

Andy Reid's out-of-character decision to go for it on fourth down results in a Chiefs touchdown that makes the score 7-3 and makes $150 winners of these lucky squares holders.

Niners. Chiefs. Super Bowl Squares. Fighting Cancer. Join the Fun!

Please join the effort to fight lung cancer through the supremely fun "Super Squares" effort.  Since 2008 we've raised over $25,000!


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 or venmo 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 Niners 17, Chiefs 16, the squareholder with SF 7 KC 6 wins prize money. Everything depends on that last digit. (There's a sample grid at the bottom of the post.)

Payouts are $150 for three quarters, and $250 for the final score. Your numbers will be generated at random. The grid/s 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.
Otis Taylor and the Chiefs won Super Bowl IV.

PLUS - 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;
 or
- any other loopy thing we think up between now and gametime.

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 or venmo. If you pay by check, please write the check to me (notate ALA in the subject line) and send it to me at 2513 Key West Way, Sacramento, CA, 95826.

For Venmo, send it to @ksmithfagan.

When you log in to paypal, indicate that you're sending money to Friends or Family. That way paypal will not charge any fee on the transaction. Yay! If you need it, the paypal destination email is ksmithfagan@gmail.com.
Best 49er name ever? Woody Peoples.

HOW DOES YOUR MONEY SUPPORT THE AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION?
Every penny from Super Squares goes to the cause (after paying the prize winners). I deliver the Super Squares funds to the ALA/Chicago branch. Together we are part of Team Barbie, in my mom's honor.

Thanks for playing! And thank you for fighting lung cancer in my mom's memory.
