Halfway Bingo The VFW Friday night bingo opened to 21 persons to play for the big bucks, have a good time and visit with friends. The pots were $15 each. The regular jackpot of $85 went home in the hand of Louise Tyler. The special jackpot stayed at $800. When Terry gave the last number and no one said bingo, he told everyone that when Bobby would play bingo he always said he needed "one more number to win," so Terry gave everyone one more number in honor of Bobby. No one got a black out with the extra number. Sorry Bobby. The consolation prize of $32 was split between Dave Wood and me (Dorothy Brower). The regular jackpot on Jan 22 will be $50 for 55 numbers. The special is still at $800, ready to be taken in out by someone. Will it be you?
