Each week, there will 3 bingo games called with a total cash prize of $800 per week (including $250 that may be carried over for the Progressive Jackpot). Prizes will be split evenly if there are multiple winners of each game.
Once the game begins, bingo numbers will be read on the radio as they are drawn until someone calls the radio station with a potential winning card.
Every week, Game 3 will be a FULL CARD game. If “BINGO” is called and the after that weeks designated jackpot numbers drawn, the prize is a maximum of $300 with $250 being carried forward to the next week’s progressive jackpot. If “BINGO” is called on that weeks designated jackpot number or fewer is drawn, the maximum prize will be the full progressive jackpot amount.
As the progressive jackpot increases, the threshold to trigger the progressive jackpot will also move. e.g. If the jackpot is not won after one week, the threshold to win will change from 50 to 51 or fewer numbers. After two weeks, the threshold will change to 52 or fewer numbers, and so on.until won.
Once the game begins, bingo numbers will be read on the radio as they are drawn until someone calls the radio station with a potential winning card. Please do NOT call the station unless you believe you have a bingo.
If you get a bingo, call 560 CFOS at 519-376-7777 or 1-800-265-3757. The drawing of numbers will pause while we verify your card. If you get a busy signal, please keep trying to call until you get through! It takes us a few minutes to verify each card, so multiple winners may take us a little while. Please be patient!
When one or more winners are identified, the game will be declared closed. Once a game has been declared closed, further bingos cannot be claimed for that game.
At the time of the bingo game, the winner’s name, full address, telephone number and unique card number will be recorded.
All prize money will be paid by cheque by the Knights of Columbus and mailed to the winner.
The winner’s cheque will be issued only to the name that was recorded during the game, and will not be mailed to anyone other than the contest winner.
There is a short delay between the 560 AM on-air broadcast, and what you hear on the online stream.
The amount of delay may vary from listeners to listener and is dependent partly on the quality of your internet connection.
If you get a bingo, but because of the delay, you do not call the station until after the next number is drawn, you will still be declared a winner, but any other players who won on that subsequent number will also be declared winners and the prize will be split evenly.
In the event of technical difficulties during the game (such as some problem with the phone system or the radio station being off-air), the drawing of numbers will be paused. If the issue cannot be resolved in short order, the game will be held over until the following week on the same cards. We are not responsible for internet broadcast or localized power outages.
