OK , since it has been asked and it seems that some people might actually be interested in what I am doing I will share some information on the subject .

The State of Texas laws on the subject of football pots as I understand them say that they are legal only if there is no profit made off of the pot by the person running the pot , or if at least 10% of the proceeds goes to charity . I really don't think I am making a profit off of the pot , because I am selling the boat for a fair price . But just to be sure that I am staying well within the law I am donating 10% of the proceeds of the pot to my personal favorite charity , Autism Speaks . I have long been a big fan of this particular group because they do so much to advocate for the needs of children and adults with autism in public schools , higher education , with medical coverage , and in the work force as adults . As the parent of a child with autism I am always watching the politics of what is going on behind the scenes with legislation that greatly effects my child's medical coverage , as well as her rights in the school setting , and Autism Speaks has always been a great resource to help keep people informed .

How do individuals pick there squares? Are you going to make a copy and post it and keep it updated with each individual that buys in?

The grid is numbered from 1 to 100 starting at the top left corner . The person buying the square can either meet up with me or they can choose a number over the phone or email . Once all the squares are full I will setup a time for drawing the numbers at a local bar or restaraunt , any one that wants to come participate is welcome . Numbers will be drawn by whoever shows up . Once the grid is complete with numbers and everything then I will fax or email copies to everyone involved in the pot . If people want to know how many squares are left after they buy a square they can just give me a call or send an email and I will let them know what all numbers are still available . For people actively selling squares for me I am in constant contact with them as squares sell . Once they sell 15 squares they get a free square for themselves . If there are any questions you can call me or text me on my cell phone at 281-871-8307 . If anyone wants to come see the boat and meet me in person they can contact me to arrange a time to come by .

I will have to keep that in mind, my best friends older son is a high functioning asperger child and I might have a little extra coin after my next turnaround starts.
