80 ball bingo cards use a 4 by 4 grid, with each column containing numbers from a particular range of the 80 balls to be drawn. The first column has numbers from 1 to 20, the second column has numbers from 21 to 40, the third column has numbers from 41 to 60, and the final column has numbers from 61 to 80.

Elaine Prendergast, a 63-year-old player at a live Gala Bingo hall, was the victim of this unfortunate mistake, but the rules of live bingo halls mean that she is unlikely to see her £1,000 jackpot. She says that she called ‘bingo’ early and loudly, with other players and the bingo steward backing her up, but the protocols of live bingo insist that claims are void once the caller has moved on.
