Your bingo card features a 5x5 grid with a free space in the middle. In the other squares, you'll find random numbers between 1 and 75. The aim of the game is to mark off numbers on your card when you hear them called. There will be a winning pattern announced at the start of the game; the first player to mark all the boxes to match the winning pattern will win!
