2. To participate in game, look for a Game Piece (“Game Piece”) at participating locations and events or inside specially marked packages of Bud Light at participating retailers (while supplies last). Game Piece may not be available inside packages in all markets. Each Game Piece contains five (5) jersey numbers (“Jersey Numbers”) and a 7 alpha digit Game Code (“Game Code”), located on the front right-hand side of the Game Piece. Scratch the Game Piece on the indicated area to reveal the five (5) Jersey Numbers. To Enter: Use your mobile phone to text “BL” to shortcode “MARCH”. You will then be age verified and be required to text back your Game Code. By texting your Game Code, you will be automatically registered and the Sponsor’s official Game calculator will track the points scored by the Jersey Numbers on your Game Piece. Participants must have a mobile phone with text messaging capabilities to participate via their mobile phone.
