While tickets will typically be drawn at Friday night home sporting events, everyone participating has a chance to claim their winnings until the Monday following the game. Ticket numbers and results will be posted all over the Cougar Pride Booster Club social media sites as well as at the participating host site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the event that no one claims the prize, the jackpot will automatically rollover to the next week. This means potentially bigger prizes and more excitement.
