I know nothing about NCAA Basketball, am I at a disadvantage?

No! Unlike the "bracket" polls you need no knowledge of teams or rankings. You do not have to pick a "lucky" lottery number.

How do I win?

Each ticket has three teams. The total points scored by your three teams throughout the ENTIRE tournament computes your ticket's point total. It makes no difference if your teams win or lose. Total points per ticket are then used to determine winners.

Who administrates MyMarchMadness raffles?

Local non-profit organizations sell tickets and raise and keep the money from the raffle. The MyMarchMadness concept was developed by a small Catholic school in the Pittsburgh area. Our school's Athletic Boosters administrate the raffle, maintain the MyMarchMadness website, and supply all of the materials needed to run a raffle.
