Sobeys Bingo: Calgary NW

[canadadiva]

I need the Delissio G50 piece then I will have a bingo!! I was wondering if anyone had it and wanted to trade me for a different one. I can trade you:
-B4
-G48
-N34
-O65
-N31

Thanks

Ya...that's all I need for a win also.

Actually, if I had O63, I19, G50 or B1 I'd have a win....I've got 4 rows that I only need one more to win. Good luck!

Darn it, must be a hard one to get!!

B1, I19, N32, G50 and O63 are the ones which have a smaller amount distributed. These are the ones that you will need to find to win any of the prizes. If you go to Sobey's website and look up the rules for the bingo it will tell you the distribution numbers for each of the bingo pieces.

Good luck!

Interesting!

Ya that is usually how these kinds of contests work. Same with McDonalds monopoly... there will be one in each group that is harder to find because there are less of it available. That way they can limit how many of that prize is available and can be won.

[jchandler]

I also always wondered if they hold back certain pieces until towards the end of the contest...

[tdjca]

I doubt it, just make limited amounts so the winners are rare.

[canadadiva]

Well I am still hopeful! I think I still have a good chance at the $25 gift card, I stop in at Sobeys about 2 times weekly.

Sorry if I came acrossed as negative. I wasn't trying to discourage anyone from finding a winning bingo marker. I was just trying to explain how these types of promo/contests work. Someone has to win so good luck to everyone and hope you have success!

I copied the list of bingo markers and how many have been distributed so you can see better how it all works. Hope this helps.

Sorry the spacing won't work out properly. I tried to go in and manually rearrange it under the headings but it keeps going back to this. Hope you can figure it out. The bold number after the marker number is how many were distributed and the "1 in 20" are your odds of finding that bingo marker.

Good luck everyone!!
