bingo

Game of chance played with numbered balls and cards each divided into 27 squares, 15 of them containing random numbers between 1 and 90. As the numbers are called out, also at random, the corresponding numbers are marked off the players' card(s). The first person to complete a line across or full card (known as a ‘full house’) wins a prize.
