Playing Wingo on WingoBingo: A Guide to Rules and Scoring

This guide explains the official rules for playing the Wingo game on WingoBingo and how rounds are scored, according to the operator's published house rules. All monetary amounts mentioned are in US dollars, as published by the operator.

How to Play Wingo

To play Wingo, a player selects numbers for their ticket. Each Wingo ticket costs $1.00.

Players must choose 6 main numbers from a range of 1 to 47. Additionally, players select 1 Lucky number from a range of 1 to 10. These selections constitute a single Wingo ticket.

Understanding the Prize Pool

Wingo operates with a fixed guaranteed prize pool of $5,000.00 for each round, which is independent of the number of tickets sold.

This fixed prize pool is divided among different prize tiers based on the number of matches a ticket achieves. Each tier receives a specific share of the total prize pool, forming its tier pool.

Wingo Prize Tiers and Scoring

There are five paying prize tiers in Wingo. The share of the prize pool and the resulting tier pool for each match category are as follows:

• Match 6 + Lucky: This tier receives 40% of the prize pool, resulting in a tier pool of $2,000.00.
• Match 6: This tier receives 25% of the prize pool, resulting in a tier pool of $1,250.00.
• Match 5 + Lucky: This tier receives 15% of the prize pool, resulting in a tier pool of $750.00.
• Match 5: This tier receives 12% of the prize pool, resulting in a tier pool of $600.00.
• Match 4 + Lucky: This tier receives 8% of the prize pool, resulting in a tier pool of $400.00.

Any other combination of matched numbers, such as matching 4 main numbers without the Lucky number, or matching fewer than 4 main numbers, does not result in a prize.

Sharing Tier Prizes

When multiple tickets match the winning numbers for a specific tier, the tier's designated prize pool is divided equally among all winning tickets in that tier. This means that if more tickets win a particular tier, each individual winner will receive a smaller share of that tier's total prize fund.

Worked Example: Sharing the Top Tier

The WingoBingo operator provides an example of how a shared prize is calculated for the top tier, which is '6 + Lucky'.

If 4 winners match '6 + Lucky', they share the tier pool for that category. The tier pool for '6 + Lucky' is $2,000.00. To calculate each winner's share, the tier pool is divided by the number of winners. So, $2,000.00 divided by 4 winners equals $500.00. Each of the 4 winners would receive $500.00.

This process of dividing the tier pool equally applies to all other paying tiers as well, should there be multiple winners in those categories.
