2024 Super Bowl Squares
Are you ready for some football? 🏈
The Super Bowl is coming up soon, and we have a fun and easy way for you to join the excitement and win some cash 💰
Introducing our Super Bowl Squares Pool!
What are Super Bowl Squares?
Super Bowl Squares are a popular way to bet on the big game. You buy one or more squares on a 10×10 grid, each square representing a possible score at the end of each quarter. The numbers 0-9 are randomly assigned to the rows and columns after all squares are sold. If the last digit of each team’s score matches your square, you win a prize!
How to Play?
It’s simple. Just follow these steps:
- Choose how many squares you want to buy. Each square costs $20, and you can buy as many as you want until the grid is full.
- Pay securely with your credit card or PayPal account. Follow this link: https://chqstriders.org/payment/ and select “Super Bowl Square”
- Wait for the numbers to be drawn and posted on our website before the game starts.
- Watch the game and cheer for your numbers. We will announce the winners and send the payouts after each quarter.
What are the Prizes?
We have a total prize pool of $800, distributed as follows:
- First Quarter: $100
- Second Quarter: $200
- Third Quarter: $100
- Final Score: $400
The more squares you buy, the more chances you have to win!
Don’t miss this opportunity to spice up your Super Bowl experience and win some money. Hurry up and buy your squares today before they run out!
Congratulations to the winners!

A group of students from the Chautauqua Striders Track Club will represent Chautauqua County at the 2023 USA Track & Field National Junior Olympics at Hayward Field this week.
The students qualified for the national championship after placing among the top five at the USATF Region 2 championships at Cortland State University in their respective age groups and events.
They will compete against more than 10,000 athletes from across the country in various track and field events, ranging from sprints and hurdles to jumps and throws.
The students are: Talon Rowland, an incoming senior at Randolph, who will compete in the 400-meter dash; Gavin Stearns, an incoming senior at Randolph, who will compete in the high jump; Ethan Verbosky, an incoming sophomore at Maple Grove, who will compete in the 800 meters and 3,000 meters; and Declan Kennedy, an incoming senior at Southwestern, who will compete in the 110-meter hurdles.
“Each athlete who is attending this meet should be extremely proud of themselves,” said Nick Abdo, Chautauqua Striders Track Club coach. “All of these kids have already accomplished so much in their high school track careers, and with so much time ahead of them still — the sky is the limit. I really look forward to this meet and producing a positive experience and great results.”

It is organized by USA Track & Field, the national governing body for track and field, long-distance running and race walking. The championship features athletes aged 7-18 who have met rigorous standards to participate.
