Hey I Just Won!
A Bingo Blog
Hey, this is my bingo blog so it is only natural that I should share bingo experiences. This is doubly true if I get to share winning experiences. Last night is not my regular bingo night but there was a local bingo game that I was invited to anyway. It was some sort of charity fundraiser for a pair of orphans who just got married and don't have any relations that could help them out on their initial foray into the real world. Well, what can I say? I am a sucker for bingo as well as good causes! Anyway, the event was held in a hall someone had donated and all proceeds were supposed to go directly to the newlyweds. The big prize was supposed to be 3000$. Which seemed reasonable. Based on the number of cards sold and the other prizes as well as the crowd size, I figured that the event would make about 10 thousand dollars so the game seemed a fair one.
I Win!
I play the bingo games to win - like everyone else - but I join them for the fun and excitement. The rules here were the straight forward ones for bingo (I guess some folks just don't have any imagination). To my amazement, some twenty or thirty numbers into the game, I found myself with one number left to complete my score board and get a nice line right down the "I" column of my bingo board. I found myself staring at the numbers and praying that the next number would be the one I was waiting for. I didn't have to wait long before my prayers were answered! 22 was the next number and it was exactly what I had been waiting for! With a whoop of joy and a victory dance I went to present my winning card and cash in on the grand prize. So, now I am writing this 3000$ richer. The only question is, what am I going to do with the money?
