Lottery Bingo

Lotteries around the world produce record breaking jackpots each and every week, you only have to look at the Italian Lottery, Superenalotto, or the Euromillions to see how true this statement is. However bingo, although not to the same proportions, also offers some pretty good jackpot prizes as well. Of late we have seen lottery and bingo combine in a number of forms - Rollover Bingo being the most obvious.

Rollover Bingo offers it's players free lottery tickets when they meet a certain spend level on bingo cards at their site. These free lottery tickets form part of a 49 strong syndicate and if the ticket is a winner then cash and bonuses are distributed to all players in the winning syndicate.

Shortly after Rollover Bingo launched we saw Bet365 Bingo launch their "Dream Ticket" promotion. This promotion runs very similar to that offered by Rollover Bingo and players are again put into a syndicate for the next National Lottery draw and will be paid in cash and bonuses if they are winners.

Following on from these two online brands launching lottery bingo promotions we also saw Wink Bingo run a one off promotion for their players where the site gave away no less than 1,000 tickets for the Euromillions  Mega Draw rollover that had a jackpot of £113 million. Incidently this jackpot was won by a solitary player from the UK.

Bingo is big business in the UK, lotteries are big business the world over so it is not surprise to see lottery bingo becoming more and more popular! There is even a site called Bingo Lottery!

Which balls do you prefer, lottery or bingo ones?
