Bingo raffle: draw one of the cards in play between rounds

Tap Spin and watch card 58 mark itself.

Sample data: this is how a round looks on the board and on a card.

The raffle in a Tombingo event picks one card number at random among the cards in play. It is optional: use it between rounds only if you want an extra moment, with no slips of paper in a bowl. Tombingo does not sell raffle tickets or handle money.

How to run a raffle between your bingo cards

  1. Create the event and its cards

    Every card in the event has a number, so the raffle already knows which numbers it can draw.

  2. Open Raffle in the console

    It has its own tab in the console, next to the draw, ready for the break between one round and the next.

  3. Draw a card number

    The console picks one of the card numbers in play. Tick “Do not repeat numbers already drawn” and a number that came out stays out.

  4. Read it out

    Say the number aloud so the holder of that card knows it is theirs.

Why draw from the cards instead of a bowl

Paper slips get lost, folded twice or written on the back of a receipt. The cards of your bingo are already numbered, and every guest holds at least one, so the raffle draws from a list that is complete before you start.

The console also remembers what came out. With “Do not repeat numbers already drawn” ticked, the same card cannot come up twice in one raffle, which settles the usual “that one already won” debate at the table.

Part of the console, not a separate app

The raffle comes with every Tombingo event, next to the draw and the hall screen. Use it at a school fair, an office party or a family get-together, and skip it when your bingo does not need it. Guests joining from home see the result too: the online raffle page shows how.

Free up to 20 cards per event, with passes from USD 14 on pricing. The Tombingo home page shows how an event works, and the bingo number generator calls the balls.
