FootballMania is an exciting sweepstakes based on the National Football League and sponsored by the Springfield Police Benevolent & Protective Association Unit #5 (PB&PA). FootballMania sweepstakes are exciting and engaging for the people who receive a sweepstakes ticket because winning tickets are determined in a unique way. Each ticket is completely random and has an equal chance of winning based on the points scored and yards gained by the football teams randomly assigned to it.

Each FootballMania ticket contains 3 random teams in each week of the FootballMania season - a different set of teams each week. No two tickets have the same 3 teams in any given week. The total number of points scored by the three teams determines the value of the ticket. If two tickets have the same score, the total yards gained by the 3 teams is used as a tiebreaker. The four highest scoring tickets and the two lowest scoring tickets each week win prizes. For illustration, view a sample ticket.

The FootballMania ticket contains the teams that each person is assigned each week of the season (three random teams each week). Each FootballMania raffle ticket is uniquely identified by a ticket number. After a ticket has been sold, the PB&PA records the sale to indicate that the ticket has been purchased and therefore should be included in the pool of valid tickets when determining the winners each week. Only the tickets that are identified as ‘sold’ will be included when calculating the winners.

Each week, the winning tickets are calculated, and checks will be mailed to each of the winners. Current winner information is posted, and the names and ticket numbers of past winners can be viewed on the 2005 Winners and 2006 Winners pages. In addition, the current winning ticket numbers can be viewed online at http://www.charitymania.com/ticketholders.asp.
