Nancy Todd wins $900

Village resident Nancy Todd recently won the Evening Lions bingo jackpot of $700 plus a $200 bonus prize sponsored by Keystone Realty.  Altogether, Todd won $900.

 

Todd competed with 108 patrons at Lions Bingo. She won the “coverall” contest.

 

Todd said most of her prize money “will be spent on furnishings for a Balboa Lake home,” her family moved to this month, from another home in the Village”

 

She has played bingo in many of the oil-producing regions of the world, when her family was stationed there as part of her husband’s  work assignment.

 

Todd was accompanied to Lions Bingo with her bingo buddy, Terri Huffman, also from an oil-company family. Together, they have been bingo players in numerous foreign countries.

 

Todd won the coverall jackpot when she covered one bingo game face containing 24 numbers, after the game caller had called  the last of 61 allotted  numbers.

 

A bingo ‘coverall’ jackpot is based on results of the evening's final game. To win, a player must cover every number on one of three game faces on his or her game card.

 

 Lions Bingo chair, Tom Hubert, said Lions Friday evening bingo at the Coronado Center is a lot of fun, with winners every session.

 

"Our minimum payout each evening is $930, and we have about two jackpot winners every year, Hubert said.

 

“We are here the first and third Friday evenings most months, ready to play at 7 p.m.,” said  Hubert.

 

In addition to the coverall jackpot, games include regular bingo, small and large diamond bingo, crazy arrow bingo and other variations.
