WEDNESDAY’S RETURN OF ROTARY BINGO — MUSKOKA-WIDE — WITH UP TO $4,500 IN GAME 5 SUPER JACKPOT PRIZE MONEY POSSIBLE FOR FAST DABBERS
MUSKOKA — Just what you’ve been waiting for all summer.
Tomorrow night – live from Huntsville – it’s the return of Rotary Bingo on YourTV Muskoka-Parry Sound wide.
And with huge changes for the host Gravenhurst and Huntsville Rotary clubs in a new joint venture that will mean a ton more money available every week with hundreds more players dabbing their bingo cards this season.
With the kids back at school and summer’s near end, there is at least one good thing to look forward to, says Huntsville Rotarian Rob Saunders.
Rotary Super Jackpot TV Bingo returns on YourTV, with the first game back being broadcast tomorrow night, Wednesday September 3, at 7 p.m.
The hour-long family fun event is presented on subsequent Wednesdays on YourTV channels in Huntsville, Gravenhurst, Bracebridge and Parry Sound.
Huntsville has moved its Bingo night from Tuesday to Wednesday, which is when Gravenhurst has long held its weekly game for decades.
The Bingo fundraiser represents one of the major fundraiser for the Rotary clubs in Gravenhurst and Huntsville.
Guaranteed prize money presented each evening is $1,500, spread over five games, with the opportunity for players to win the Super Jackpot prize of $4,500 — or the Junior Jackpot prize of $1,000, says Saunders who will host the first show back.
The $4,500 Super Jackpot can be won or shared by a player getting a full card in 52 numbers or less.
If not two additional balls are pulled for a $1,500 Junior Jackpot in 54 numbers or less.
And if there is still no full card winner balls will be pulled until a full card call is received who will win or share $500.
This Jackpot prize is the largest in our area, he says.
Since Rotary Bingo’s inception, millions of dollars in winnings have been distributed to players from the various communities.
At the same time, the Rotary Clubs have been able to raise important dollars to assist in their community outreach initiatives,
The TV Bingo is only available through the support of Rotary’s community partners at Cogeco/Your TV. Throughout the past 25 years Cogeco, and its local Your TV staff, have been providing manpower, air time and technical expertise to keep the games available to happy local players.
A reminder for those who play regularly, or for new players, that Bingo cards are just $10 and can be purchased at convenience stores and gas bars throughout Muskoka and Parry Sound.
The cards are still available at all the same retail outlets.
Or if you do not have Cogeco cable, but want to win prize money, cards can be purchased and you can play live at Huntsville’s Boston Pizza and the Royal Canadian Legion as well as The Frosty Pint, Boston Pizza, Sawdust City and Royal Canadian Legion in Gravenhurst.
Join the two Rotary service clubs and watch for your favourite Rotarian callers from each town as they unite in support of local charity causes that make the world a better place.
