The contest is setup with a $25 VISA gift card going to the halftime score winner and a $50 one sent to the player who has the square that corresponds to the final score. OSGA Members get to pick 5 squares for the Thursday night contest and there are never contest fees for our Members. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.osga.com\/members\/signup.html\"> <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Become a Member<\/span><\/a> today and get on\u00c2\u00a0 board before the next Thursday night NFL game.<\/p>\n<p>To reward OSGA Members for their support and to give players MORE, we have a NEW contest exclusively for members!
