Make sure that you repeat the process for each individual box.&nbsp; 5. SHOW YOUR SERVER THAT YOU PAID so they can write it on the master sheet.&nbsp; 6. Once ALL the boxes are filled, we will choose the numbers (0-9) on each side of the board out of a hat.&nbsp; 7. On Feb. 8th 2026 watch the BIG GAME. At the end of each quarter, the score of the game will determine if you have won or not. Example: If the score of the game at the end of the first quarter is: Home team 14, Visitor team 7, you would go to the board and find the corresponding box with the Home 4(we only use the second number if there is 2 numbers) , Visitor 7. That would be the winner of that quarter.&nbsp; Winning quarter payouts: 1st Quarter $250 2nd Quarter $2503rd Quarter $250 Final: $500 Your participation in this event helps bring Verdi EcoSchool programming to Brevard county and beyond.
