Lucky Bingo Balls is a charity game designed to be played in conjunction with a random drawing
of bingo numbers 1 through 75. Each box contains two deals of Lucky Bingo Balls.
Each deal of Lucky Bingo Balls contains 320 tickets, including 54 instant winners and 25 HOLD
tickets (bearing three unique bingo ball numbers 1-75) that give players a chance to win a $150
prize.
