We have reached the last round and it’s time for your Final Fortune, aka back to the basics with a turbo impact.

Every day at approximately midnight IST I will post some numbers as follows:

Day 1 (Oct 13 midnight IST / Oct 13 2:30 PM EST) – 15 numbers

Day 2 (Oct 14 midnight / Oct 14 2:30 PM EST) – 20 numbers

Day 3 (Oct 15 midnight / Oct 15 2:30 PM EST) – 25 numbers

You will get 3 bingo cards and you will have about 24 hours to mark the numbers on your cards and find bingos and then send me the completed cards. You can reuse the same cards over the next 72 hours.

As you get bingos, you will earn points as follows:

Day 1 (bingo cards sent by Oct 14 11:59 PM IST / 2:30 PM IST) – 200 points for every completed line

Day 2 (bingo cards sent by Oct 15 11:59 PM IST / 2:30 PM EST) – 100 points for every completed line and 1000 points for full house

Day 3 (bingo cards sent by Oct 16 11:59 PM IST / 2:30 PM EST) – 50 points for every completed line and 500 points for full house

Note that the round will end basically at Oct 16 11:59 PM IST, though I will give people a few extra minutes to send in their finished bingo cards. Results will come once I get siggies from Leenaaa, which will most likely be the next day.

@pink: only one clarification. If I mentioned 336, & within brackets 300-500, will you award points ? Because that's the way Google & ChatGPT mentioned the answer.


One question regarding round 4 -- Do we have to mark the 15/20/25 numbers in all the three cards & send them everyday ?
