If they use their skill and judgement to correctly predict score draws, they could walk away with one of The Football Pools big cash prizes – including a top weekly jackpot of £3million.

With the 2022/23 season marking the start of a historic century, The Football Pools has made a new signing to help kick off its celebrations.

Former England, Liverpool and Manchester United star Michael Owen will be the face of the new season Classic Pools coupon 10,000 free game giveaway.

The record-breaking striker turned pundit knows all about the power of 10 – he wore the lucky number throughout his career at Anfield, netting 158 goals for the Reds, and when he made a decade of goalscoring appearances for England.
