Players buy Bingo cards with numbers on them in a 5 x 5 grid corresponding to the five letters in the word B-I-N-G-O.

The numbers are assigned at random on each card and are arranged in five columns of five numbers each by five rows (5 x 5 = 25 in total including the blank square).

The numbers in the B column are between 1 and 15, in the I column between 16 and 30, in the N column (containing four numbers and the free space) between 31 and 45, in the G column between 46 and 60, and in the O column between 61 and 75.

The different winning combinations are:

• Line - Covering a horizontal line of five numbers on the ticket.
• Two Lines - Covering any two lines on the same ticket.
• Full House - Covering all fifteen numbers on the ticket.
