3 or 33 NFL Pool
___________________________________________________
Summary: This is a pool that will pay off $250 per week for NFL Weeks 1-17 and $500 on the final week, NFL Week 18.
PLUS, it pays an additional $370 on the NFL Week 18 Total Point Winner (Total Point Winner details below, See Rule #8).
It pays off whenever one or more entrants have an NFL team with a final score of either 3 or 33 points and/or at the end of the regular season.
Cost: $160 per entry, 32 entries in all. Total money paid out is $5120 (32 teams x $160/entry if all entries sold)
I DO NOT TAKE A CUT! ALL MONEY IS PAID OUT AT THE END OF THE REGULAR SEASON.

Rules:
For each entry, (you may purchase multiple entries) you select a number from 1-32, drawn randomly. Each number corresponds to a random NFL Team. The team(s) you are assigned is/are yours for the entire season; however, if you wish to trade teams, I will try to facilitate your requests through the last game of the preseason. After all teams have been sold and/or traded, I will post a list of all the NFL teams and their owners at https://3or33.com/owners.htm
The prize pool for each NFL Week is $250 except for the final week, NFL Week 18. In NFL Week 18, the prize pool amount is $500. (If all the entries are not sold, the prizes will be adjusted accordingly). NFL Weekly Schedules can be found at http://www.espn.com/nfl/schedule
For each NFL Week, if your team ends play for their game with their final score either exactly 3 or exactly 33 points, you win the weekly pool. YOUR TEAM NEED NOT WIN THE GAME IN ORDER TO WIN THE WEEKLY POOL, but the team's final score (including overtime) must be either 3 or 33 points.
If there is more than one entry with a team that scores exactly 3 or 33 points, the weekly pool will be divided equally among all the qualifying entries.
If no entry scores 3 or 33 points for any given NFL Week, the prize for that week is carried forward to the next NFL Week. Thus it is possible - and likely - to have prize amounts for any given NFL Week to be well in excess of $250.
I will inform all players each week of any winners by text message. If you win, the prize money will be paid out in cash when I see you next. Let me know where you'll be so I can make sure and have the cash on me. You may also stop by my house (Call First!) If you prefer, I can mail you a check, or send it through PayPal, Zelle, Cash App or Venmo. This shouldn't come up, but I do reserve the option to pay winners by check at my discretion.
In the final week, NFL Week 18, the 3 or 33 weekly prize is $500. If there are no 3 or 33 winners in NFL Week 18, the prize for NFL Week 18 will be added to the NFL Week 18 Total Point Winner (See Rule #8 Below).
There is a separate and additional $370 prize on the Total Point Winner on NFL Week 18. This prize is awarded to the best integer guess of the entries that are closest (over or under) to the aggregate total of all points scored in the NFL by all teams in NFL Week 18. (You can text or email me your guess) Any entries that tie will split this prize. YOU CAN WIN THIS FINAL $370 PRIZE (PLUS ANY CARRY-FORWARDS, SEE RULE #7) REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT YOUR TEAM(S) SCORE(S) 3 OR 33 POINTS!
If I do not receive your NFL Week 18 Total Point Winner guess before the NFL Week 18 opening kickoff (This year it is 3:30PM on Saturday, Jan 4th) you will be disqualified from receiving the Total Point Winner prize!
I am the administrator and have final say on any disputes. I am also a paid participant.
Fun Facts: These scores are far more common than you think. Last year, there were six times that teams scored exactly 33 points and seven times that teams scored exactly 3. And it's not the teams you would expect either. In fact, it's pretty random.
