It’s like a $2/card buy in.

I’m fairly sure no one is making a living off taking a cut from the pot

Still not the travesty of states allowing lotteries but no gambling or sports betting.

Bingo tax revenue was appropriated for funding education, roads, bridges, and fire and police protection.

Apparently Catholic High didn't see any moral or ethical dilemma in this.
bc they allow good black football players into Catholic tuition free.

Is buying a card the same as betting on an outcome though? Especially since it's random




Your purchase of a card is a bet that you'll get a bingo from the randomly generated numbers.

Same way the horse tracks did... Gambling is for peasants. Gaming is for the connected and their constituents.
