Anyone play? Anyone win?

The Friday Fives thread got me thinkin' about this. One of my first memories after my parents were divorced and my mom married my step-dad, was going to their church and playing Bingo on Sunday nights. The first time I ever went, I won $150! I was 9.

My stepdad's family is Mexican, and when my step-grandma used to come to visit (a total Bingo fanatic), my parents would drop her and I off at the Bingo parlor.

I can't believe I'm actually admitting this, but although I haven't played Bingo in AGES, but it's still a fun thing to do from time-to-time.

I don't have a dog.

We have a summer festival in our town with a 'bingo tent' and sometimes we'll go play a few games when we're drunk. There's also a bar by us that has "bar bingo" on Friday nights... you sit at the bar and play bingo (duh!) I've never won bingo--- I'd rather go play the cherry machines!

Went once.... maybe 20 years ago.... wasnt really my thing.....

but its big round these parts.....

I've actually paid alot, espscially for someone my age. It's a nice leisurely activity...

paid or played...or both

I love bingo and don't play it nearly as often as I would like. I take my step-son to the fall fair here in town and he rides the amusement rides while his dad and I play bingo. I do not win alot.

I've never understood the lure... I typically like my gambling with at least some skill/strategy involved... 21, poker, video poker type stuff...

Right after I turned 18 I went with my mom and aunt to play bingo......they're fanatics about it and were always coming home with money, so I decided to go.

I won over $100 that night, so I started going nearly every weekend until recently. It's hard to pay for bingo when you have no money to spend.

I don't have any of those little troll dolls to "station" around my cards for good luck.

It cracks me up... I'll pass the local BINGO hall and see people hauling cushions, coolers, bags stuffed with daubers and good luck charms.... its a HOOT!
