Bingo - we have a winner!

A record jackpot drew record crowds to our weekly Bingo game this past month and the streak which began in July finally ended last night, Januaury 31. Socito Del la Cruz covered all his spots in the jackpot game with just 53 balls, and took home a whopping $28,000. Close to 1,000 players jammed the Tropicana for their chance to win the big money, and even the preliminary games awarded record-level prizes. The real winner is Rotary of course as we will use the proceeds we earn as part of the Bingo fundraiser to support projects here in TCI and around the world. With the dramatic need for aid in Haiti, we will undoubtedly be able to use the extra revenue generated by this round of Bingo.
A big thanks to the Bingo Committee and all the other Rotarian volunteers who turned out in force over the past month when things were getting really crazy at the 'Trop. Many hands make light work and the games went extremely smoothly thanks to that 'all hands on deck' approach.
Bingo will take a few weeks off and look for an announcement for a new start up date, as well as a final report on this round, soon.
