Having played bingo for years in bingo halls with friends, I fondly remember all the mistakes I made in bingo. Once we were playing for the jackpot and it was a tidy sum. I had one number left to get and as soon as the caller called the first digit I yelled bingo at the top of my voice. When the caller called the second digit I realized my mistake; I had not won.
So after getting a lot of booing, hissing and a few cat calls, calm returned and play continues. Well, after a couple of numbers were called again the caller called the first digit and I suppressed my excitement. When he called the second digit I realized I had won. Before I yelled out bingo he called the next number and another player yelled bingo and I echoed him. Again I was stared down at but when my card was checked I had won, but so had the other player as his missing number had also been called. So the jackpot was split. I still frequent that bingo hall as I am not into online bingo. People there cut jokes about me, or just whisper among themselves when I walk in. But I still enjoy playing bingo there!
