Week of Welcome • Virtual Bingo

Everyone’s favourite – BINGO is back to welcome you all into the Winter 2022 term! This time, you can join from the comfort of your home or wherever you are.

We will send your BINGO card directly to your mynorquest email when you register. Follow us on Facebook or Instagram @norquestsa and watch for the BINGO numbers we will release, Mon – Thu at 3 pm.

The first 150 people who register will get to play but only Winter 2022 NorQuest students are eligible to win one of the following awesome prizes:

• $50 gift card for a good blackout BINGO (all the numbers on your card were called)
• one of ten $15 gift cards drawn from the names of Winter 2022 NorQuest students who joined but didn’t get a BINGO

Join BINGO through these easy steps:

1. BINGO card distribution has ended for this event. Thank you for your interest. You can only get and play one BINGO card for the duration of this event. You will use the same BINGO card for all the numbers called this week. Students who claim two BINGO cards will be disqualified. Contact jirehl.carlos@norquest.ca if you are having issues getting a card.
2. Once you receive your digital BINGO card in your mynorquest email, be sure to follow us on Facebook & Instagram because we will be posting the numbers called on our stories. If you missed a day, check our Instagram story highlights as they will be posted there.
3. If any of the called numbers match numbers on your digital BINGO card, click them on your card to mark them. The middle box is a free space and you can go ahead and mark that one right away. Once you get a full card or blackout BINGO (all the numbers on your card are called and marked), message us on Facebook or Instagram or email jirehl.carlos@norquest.ca so we can verify if you have a good BINGO. Send us your full name, Student ID# (for us to verify if you are a Winter 2022 NorQuest student), mynorquest email, and BINGO Card ID# (located at the top left of your card).
4. Once we confirm that you have a good BINGO and that you are a Winter 2022 NorQuest student, we will let you know your gift card options and how to claim your prize.
5. Our last day to post new numbers will be Thu, Jan 20 at 3 pm.

Fri, Jan 21 at 3 pm is the deadline to inform us about your BINGO. Any BINGO claimed after that will not be accepted.

A good blackout BINGO looks like this:

Note: Your numbers will look different than the sample card. What is important is that all the numbers on your card were called out.

Here’s also a quick tutorial on how to play BINGO if you’ve never played before:

• You can see letters B-I-N-G-O on your card with numbers below them. Under B, numbers can range from 1-15; under I, numbers can range from 16 – 30; under N, numbers can range from 31-45; under G, numbers can range from 46 – 60; and under O, numbers can range from 61-75.
• We will call a number under a letter. For example, B1. To check, look at your B column then see if there is a number 1. If you have B1, go ahead and mark that off your card. Continue marking off all the numbers called out for the day that are on your card.
• If you don’t have a blackout BINGO yet and still have numbers left, watch for the numbers to be announced the following day(s).

Good luck in getting a BINGO!
