Put your football knowledge to use or test your luck for a chance to win the grand cash prize while competing with neighbors, family and friends, and raising funds to support the Irvington NY PTSA!

Here’s how it works:

• Join the Pool! Purchase 1 entry ($50), 3 entries ($100) or 10 entries ($250). The PTSA receives 50% of all entry fees, so the more entries you buy, the bigger the winnings, the better your chances to win and more money raised for the PTSA. Click HERE to enter the pool!
• Make your Picks! Choose one team each week and move on to the next week if that team wins. The catch? You can’t pick the same team twice. If your team loses in the first 4 weeks, you still get another shot! You’re only eliminated if your picks lose two weeks in a row during the first 4 weeks. After 4 weeks, if your team loses, you are out.
• Collect your Winnings!

Deadline to enter: September 8, 2022
