Eight selections this week; $5 entry fee

LAS VEGAS (January 3, 2012) – The Lucky’s Progressive Carryover Football Contest heads into overtime with a $15,555 jackpot for this weekend’s pro football wild card playoff games. There were no perfect cards in the final Sunday of the regular season.

With four games on the playoff schedule, there will be eight total selections required to win or share in the jackpot. For a $5 entry, players must pick the winner of each game plus the correct “over” or “under” for the total score for each game. If there are multiple winners, the $15,555 jackpot will be divided equally among all winning tickets.

There is a $5 fee per entry and there is no limit to the number of entries a player may purchase.  With eight required selections this week, there are 256 possible combinations. A player could actually cover every combination for $1,280. If a player “keyed” the Saints and Steelers, the most heavily favored teams this weekend, the ticket would be reduced to 64 combinations or $320. During the regular season, 16 correct selections were required to win or share in the jackpot.

Players can submit their picks at one of 17 Lucky’s Sports Books starting Wednesday until kick-off of the Cincinnati-Houston game at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, January 7.

In Week 16, Charlie W. of Henderson took home $37,015 after picking a perfect card at the Lucky’s at Terrible’s Hotel & Casino. Earlier in the season, Larry C. won $51,770 at John Ascuaga’s Nugget in Sparks.
