Welcome to the Epiphany Bingo Webpage
Epiphany Bingo is played in the Family Center
This is a volunteer organization which therefore allows all net proceeds to go to local charitable organizations. Come by yourself, or bring a friend, family members or a group, knowing that your gamecard purchase goes to local charities that need our help. Early bird games start at 7:30 PM, and regular games at 8:00 PM. Maximum cash prizes allowed by state law of $2,500 are given away every Friday night. The final game of the evening always has a $750 Payout.There is no smoking in the Family Center during Bingo games. Bingo is operated on a cash basis. No checks or credit/debit cards are accepted. For more information on playing Bingo or joining as a volunteer, please see below.
Bingo Players
The sale of Bingo tickets starts at 7 PM, and play begins with 4 early bird games starting at 7:30. A $4 early bird packet gives you a game card for each of these 4 games. The regular Bingo session starts at 8. The regular session has 13 games, made up of 8 regular games and 5 special games. The packets for the regular games cost from $5 to $22, depending on how many cards you want to play at one time. The specials cost $5 per pack. The bottom line is that you can come for the 8 o’clock start, and play every game the rest of the evening for as little as $10 per person, or come to play the early bird games and play every game the rest of the evening for as little as $14 per person. You will also need a dauber to mark your cards as you play. These can be purchased for $1 each.
We have sellers at the door that can show you what the cards look like and help you decide how many you want to play, and answer any other questions you might have.
We also have a concession area open from 7 to near the end of the evening, offering hot dogs, nachos, barbeque beef sandwiches, cheesecake, popcorn, candy, drinks, and more.
Bingo Volunteers Needed
To work the floor at Bingo, you must be at least 18 years of age, and fill out a short state form, which we will then submit to the state for approval. Once this approval is received, you will be assigned to a team. We have 4 teams, so generally, your schedule will be to work every fourth week. If you already have a friend on one of these teams, we will be happy to assign you to that team. If not, we will generally assign you to the team that could most use the help. Depending on what you are assigned to do, you will be asked to arrive between 6:45 and 7:30, with the Bingo games generally ending by about 10. You can leave at that time, or stay a little longer and help clean up (wipe tables, sweep up a little, or put away tables and chairs).
Working in the concession area does not require state approval. In addition to needing a few adults for each concession team, this is an opportunity for kids 12 or older to join the team with a parent, and get volunteer hours for some of the local schools.
Any help you can provide is truly appreciated by all of us. No matter what you are assigned to do, there will generally be 1 or 2 others doing the same thing as you each evening. They will be able to show you what to do and answer any questions you might have. Anyone interested please contact Greg at [email protected] for more information.
