LAKE WINNIPESAUKEE HISTORICAL SOCIETY HOSTS SPECIAL BINGO GAME


February 18, 2005 – Weirs, NH - The Lake Winnipesaukee Historical Society will host a special "Pot O’ Gold" Bingo fundraising event on Saturday, March 12th, at the Funspot Bingo Hall, Route 3, The Weirs. Over $12,000 in prizes will be given away that evening and doors will open at 3:00 p.m.

Two free get-away packages to Atlantic City will also be given away that evening. Enter to win the two-night, three-day stay for two at the Trump Plaza, including round-trip airfare from Manchester Airport, at the LWHS-hosted Bingo games every Tuesday and Saturday nights now through March 12th. Players can enter at every one of these Bingo games, giving each player a better chance to win the free Atlantic City trip.

The “Pot O’ Gold” Bingo special will feature a $40 package of seventeen Bingo games (18 cards per game), including three “Winner-Take-All” games that may well award in excess of $1,750 each. The “Carryover Coverall” game is guaranteed to be $4,000. All other regular games that night could pay as much as $240 each. All prizes are based on attendance. The past two special games, “Deep Freeze” in January and “Red Hot” in February, were well attended; in fact, the January game sold out all 400 packages.

The Bingo game will begin at 6:45 p.m., but doors will open at 3:00 p.m. so come early to reserve your seat and enjoy a catered buffet meal from Hart's Turkey Farm Restaurant or perhaps a drink from the full bar provided by the D.A. Long Tavern.

Other cash prizes can be won through Pull-tab tickets sold at 50 cents each with varying cash prizes from $10 to $499, as well as larger jackpots on the “Progressive 13’s” game. Some progressive jackpot games have paid out as much as $27,000 in the past. Pull-tab tickets sold that evening will include “Firehouse Fortune,” “The Three Bears,” “Lucky 13’s,” “Weezils,” “Gold Holders,” “Horse Race,” “King of the Mountain,” “Pick-A-Pig,” “Bonus 50’s,” and “Living in the USA.”

The Lake Winnipesaukee Historical Society hosts Bingo games every Tuesday and Saturday nights at the Funspot Bingo Hall, located on Route 3 in The Weirs.
