Will I win the football pool?

At work we're having a little football pool for Sunday's game. It's made for anyone (not just football fans) and you don't have to know *anything* about football to join. It's basically a big bingo card of 10 squares by 10 squares. Everyone who paid $5 put their name on a square. Today they randomly numbered each row and column (so they weren't 1-2-3...). One side (the columns) are Colts and the other side (the rows) are Chicago. You win by having a numbered sqaure that matches the last number in the score for the appoprirate team.

For example, one of my squares is 0 for Colts and 4 for the Bears, so if the score is Colts 40 - Bears 24, I win! Or 30-44, or 60-24, etc.

My second square is 3 for the Colts and 1 for the Bears, so if the score is Colts 33, Bears 31, I win (or some combination like that).

I can win $250 for the final score, $125 for the half-time score or $125 for the reversal of the final score (loss-win).

So here's to scores ending in 0 and 3 for the Colts and 4 and 1 for the Bears!!!
