PLAYERS CAN WIN UP TO $10,000 INSTANTLY PLAYING THE DELAWARE LOTTERY'S NEW INSTANT GAME "CLASSIC BINGO"  

DOVER, DE - This week the Delaware Lottery is introducing a new Instant Game called CLASSIC BINGO. Players have a chance to win up to four cash prizes playing the four bingo cards printed on each CLASSIC BINGO $2 ticket. The top prize is $10,000.

It's easy to play a CLASSIC BINGO ticket. Players just scratch the Caller's Card to uncover 27 bingo numbers.  Then they rub, mark or circle the corresponding numbers on Cards 1 through 4.   The numbers on Cards 1 through 4 will turn dark blue when rubbed.  If, on any one of Cards 1through 4, players match the numbers in a complete horizontal, vertical or diagonal line, match the four corners or an "X" (consisting of eight numbers + "FREE"), they win the corresponding prize in the prize box printed next to that card. Players can win up to four times on a ticket.

The CLASSIC BINGO game has 72,458 prizes to win having a total value of $291,200. The average odds of winning a prize playing CLASSIC BINGO are 1 in 3.31, based on the sale of all 240,000 tickets ordered for the game.

Tickets for CLASSIC BINGO are on sale now at all Delaware Lottery Retailers.
