give users the ability to accumulate points, which can be allocated to different prize buckets for chances at winning prizes in a potential variety of weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual drawings.

I for one would actually be excited for losing tickets to be able to scan into the app and get points for other drawings! I think 2nd chance is still a chance to win

Well if it's NFL related, then I could see team logos in play (32 total)

That would be one subset of the total numbers and how would the teams be numbered?

Too many questions ATM.

Imagine winning a prize in May for a seat at next April's NFL draft. No team is going to allow you to pick a player in any round because you won a lottery somehow. Imagine the anticipation you would have knowing that in 11 months you can sit in on the NFL draft in person. You spend the entire summer and fall going over college rosters trying to get your pick focused and clarified and at the last minute the team pulls the plug on your pick or he got drafted before it. Do you complain to the lotte... [ More ]

Yes, the facts of the proposed game are *very* slim right now, but this thought just popped in for me...

Would this maybe relate to the very old discussion/argument of: What if the balls had symbols (animals, plants, cartoon characters or team logos) instead of numbers on them?

Of course, anyone could assign numbers (alphabetically or any other way) to continue the time honored practice of tracking/spreadsheet use for all of the usual methods of Hi/Lo, Even/Odd, Hits/Skips, and all of t... [ More ]

Kind of vague so far, just hope this doesn't turn into something like trying to hit an eight team parlay.

So the NFL did research and said interest would fade after a $12 ticket price.

Am I correct that the cost will be $5 each? Sounds familiar doesn't it (MM(?

Count me out, zero interest in this or the legal sports betting here...

The Colorado Lottery has an app. It can scan any Colorado lottery ticket, including Powerball.

I don't see the point of a Powerball only app. While Powerball is a multi-state game, the tickets are sold by individual state lotteries.

There is no chance of me playing an NFL lottery game.

Hmmm if one of the prizes was to let you call some plays I might consider it.

It's 4th down on their own 17 and they are going for a field goal

.. Wait!!! What??? What @sshole called that play

And if I never called it you would have never seen a 100 yard field goal

In the UK and Australia, they have a game called The Pools in which the winning results are based on football. This might be something similar.

I might give it a try if Wisconsin is one of the states that offers this game. As far as the app, I don't think I'll download it unless there's some feature that's not offered on Wisconsin's app.

The Powerball Group underwent a massive, nationwide research study in preparation for X's and O's, which revealed that adults aged 18-34 would be more interested in playing Powerball if the brand aligned with the NFL, according to Finks

For $12 I'm not interested and I am not into sports or the NFL personally. Why do they need an app, just check numbers? I was hoping ALL state lotteries in America would allow ticket buying through an app or online as they do in the UK, Australia, Europe, an... [ More ]

Researchers were able to push the ticket cost to $12 before response even began to fade, Finks recalled

Oh well, glad am not a football fan

Good luck to all that will give it a shot.

New game to focus on experiential prizes over jackpots

By Kate Northrop

A new multi-state lottery game coming later this year will take two of America's favorite things Powerball and football and smash them together.

The Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL) has announced a new multi-state Powerball game in partnership with the National Football League (NFL) called X's and O's.

Players can expect to see the new game coming later this year, which will focus on awarding players w... [ More ]
