The Woes of Snowman Bingo

[MTPockets]

Last week, maybe a little earlier I felt like I was having the worst luck at bingo. The snowman told me that being 1 away from a bingo with three different lines was rarer than an actual bingo, so I wonder how rare a sheet like this must be.

Personally I find it funny. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Sometimes things in this game just don't work in your favour.

The first time I played Bingo last winter, almost my entire card was filled before I finally got a Bingo. It took so long and I hated it so much that I refuse to play this year.

Now that you have come this far, you might as well try to get 3, 5, and 21 just to fill it up as much as possible without actually getting a bingo. I'm going to check to see what is the max number of numbers possible without a bingo.

Edit: It's 20. Your card would look like this.

X = punched out
O = not punched out

XXXXO
XXXOX
XXOXX
XOXXX
OXXXX

So you fail at setting the record.

something similar has happened to me this year as well! i too got three different ways to get a bingo, and it pretty much took all of december to finally get a bingo. it didn't help that i always get numbers that i don't have on my card. ;_;

I gave up on the bingo.

I TT too much plus I am too lazy to go to other towns to get numbers ;-;

I was recently 1 away from a bingo in 4 different ways, before finally getting one. x_x
