FootballMania game cards contain 3 random football teams in each of the 18 weeks of the pro football season (you get 3 new teams each week).
A game card’s value is equal to the total combined points scored by the 3 teams pre-printed on the card in a given week. Every week, the 15 highest scoring game cards and the 3 lowest scoring game cards all win prizes.
There are 4,960 unique game cards in a game, each of which has a minimum 1 in 15.7 chance to win a prize during the season. All game cards have an equal chance to win.
If you have a game card, make sure to use the game card links provided in your confirmation email to see if you are a winner. You do not need to take any action to win, but you can play along and have fun tracking your card!
