LaDerrick Hodges of Charleston won the $50 cash prize in The Sun-Sentinel’s 2024 Super Prize Contest.
Participants were asked to guess the final score of Sunday’s NFL title game, which saw Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs top the San Francisco 49ers, 25-22.
The contest is graded by the aggregate of the picker’s variance from the points scored by each team.
Hodges and Marila Wall of Rosebloom tied, each missing by 2 points. In fact, both of them predicted a 24-21 Chiefs victory. Per tiebreaker rules, the winner was determined by chance draw.
The following contestants also picked the Chiefs to win, with their contest variance indicated in parenthesis: John Clark (4 points), Kathy Estes (4), Rick Thomas (4), Raymond Hardy (4), Kenny Drane (5), Wilma Weston (5), Nathan Brewer (5), Neal Creasy (5), Alma Reed (6), Teresa Morris (6), Ray C. Plez (7), Jeremy Washington (12), Glenda Hodges (12), Shay Ely (13), Gyrone Kenniel (14), Mike Sturdivant (14), Denman Fly (15), Sue Jennings (16), Henry Collier (23), Judy Williams (24), Mary Nelson (27) and Marie Taylor (28).
Predicting a 49ers victory were Andrew Tenner (6), Louise Clark (6), Diane Mabus (6), Willie Wilkins (6), Bobby Reed (7), L.Q. Weston (7), Walker Sturdivant (7), Gloria Chambers (10), Jimmie Johnson (10), Delores Brasher (10), Joshua Sanders (10), Gary Dyksterhouse (10), Patrick Taylor (12), Reed Madden (14), Roberta Redd (16), Larry Smith (16) and Jennifer Wigley (33).
In a related competition, “Find the Footballs,” which was printed on the Super Prize Contest page last week, Wilma Weston of Cascilla was the sixth person to call after 4:45 p.m. Friday and correctly identify the location of four tiny footballs hidden within advertisers’ blocks on the page, winning a $20 prize. The footballs were within the ads of Bank of Commerce, Anita Mullen Greenwood, The Diabetic Shoppe and Tallahatchie Farmers Supply.
