Sun Bingo Kicks off With Lucky Cards

Sunday March 08, 2009

The Sun Bingo is back beginning today with more than $100,000 up for grabs.

Until April 12, there will be daily prizes of $1,000 and weekly jackpots of $10,000.

Sun Bingo marketing director Melissa Kubik said each year Sun readers look forward to the popular game.

"Our phones start ringing off the hook when the bingo buzz starts," she said. "We've been doing this for years and years and years and our readers love it."

To get in the game, pick up the Sunday Sun for the next six weeks to grab your official Sun Bingo card. The card will have 15 numbers on it.

Simply check the Sun daily to find out which nine numbers have been called and match them up to the 15 on your card. Get all 15 and you've won big.

The bingo players can also shoot for double the reward if the $10,000 prize has not been awarded on any given week. In that case, the money rolls over to the following week and the prize grows to $20,000, Kubik said.
