National Bingo Night Special Edition

About The Show

For the First Time on Network Television, National Bingo Night Series Gives Viewers the Ultimate Real-Time Interactive Experience With the Chance to Win Thousands of Prizes

National Bingo Night is a high-energy, truly interactive game of luck based on the hugely popular American pastime. In each episode, three high action Bingo games are played in-studio, with the viewing public invited to play along for a chance to win tens-of-thousands of prizes. Hosted by Extreme Makeover: Home Edition design team contributor Ed Sanders, the series airs Fridays (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

In each game, a contestant will try his/her luck, racing against the studio audience as balls numbered from 1-75 are randomly selected from a giant sphere set in a high-tech "Bingo Plex" arena. The studio audience will track the numbers on their own Bingo cards for a chance to win cash and prizes and send the contestant home empty-handed.

Millions of viewers will also be able to play along at home by printing out free cards via ABC.com. Viewers can simply log on and print out their own game cards. Each time a person prints, he/she will get three pages, one for each game that is played per episode telecast (a Red, White and Blue card). Each game card has three Bingo grids on it, allowing the participant three chances to win per card. Online players are not competing against the clock; those who get a Bingo from the numbers called for each Red, White or Blue game on the corresponding cards can log on to ABC.com after the broadcast and enter the serial number from their card to verify their winning card. Viewers at home who get five numbers up and down, across or diagonally will be eligible for the grand prize drawing for that game. Online players must enter their serial number from their winning cards by 6:00 p.m., ET, the Monday following the Friday broadcast to redeem their prize. Cards for the upcoming Friday episode are available immediately following the airing of the current episode.

Ed Sanders will host and Sunil Narkar ("Commissioner Sunil") will serve as co-host. The series is executive-produced and created by Andrew Glassman (Three Wishes, Average Joe) for Glassman Media. National Bingo Night is broadcast with Spanish subtitles via secondary closed captioning.

How to Play Along:

Beginning Friday, May 11, you'll be able to print out bingo cards to play along with the show.

During the TV show, you will see bingo balls numbered from 1 - 75 coming out of the giant sphere. There are other balls in there that have prizes for the contestants, but those don't affect your game at home.

As the contestant and studio audience play the game and the numbers are called out, all you have to do is follow along closely and mark off the numbers you have on your bingo card at home. For example, if a contestant draws O-75 from the sphere, check your cards for O-75 and if you have it, cross or mark it off. Be sure to check all of your bingo cards for the numbers, as they can appear on more than one at a time, and you can be playing as many cards as you wish.

You will notice that all of the cards have a "free space" in the middle -- you can mark those off right away!

At National Bingo Night, they will be playing 5-Across Bingo, which means your goal is to get 5 spaces marked off in a row on that card. These can be in a straight line horizontally (side to side), vertically (up and down) or diagonally across.

If you get five across before the game ends here
in our studio, congratulations -- you have BINGO! The next step is to come back online to ABC.com to claim your prize!
