Progress of all games
The bingo host announces the number of the balls which are drawn randomly by the electric bingo plower.
Each player must use one or more cards with the valid serial number, color and the right date for the bingo. Cards from previous bingos are no longer valid.
A bingo game consists of four games and lasts an average of 60 minutes.
To report bingo, you must call 1-877-921-0921. If the line is busy, hang up and call back. Calls from winners will be accepted until 12:30 p.m. the same day. Any subsequent call, even if it is a winning card, will not be considered and no prize will be awarded.
When a call comes into the studio, the host stops the game until all calls have been answered to check the card numbers. When you call, you must give the number of the winning card which is in the center box (“free”) of each card.
92.1 GO FM is not responsible for any delay in calling the studio to report a bingo. If a call comes in after another number has been announced on air, that number is still valid. The numbers announced on air have priority.
If the number appearing on the ball is incorrectly announced, the number written on the ball and not the one announced on air is the official number for the game. Any player claiming to be a winner using an incorrectly announced number will not be recognized.
If there are several winners, the prize is divided equally between the players whose card has been validated.
