Prizes varied from gift cards to nearby restaurants to boxes of wacky-flavored Pop Tarts\u00ae.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>But prizes aren\u2019t the only thing that keep students coming back. \u201cEven if you\u2019re not a social person, you can still enjoy it,\u201d UMPI student Christine Lewis said. Luckily for all the introverts out there, this is a fun event where you can easily focus on the game rather than being social. With that said, if you do choose to be social with your tablemates or those around you, it is a great and simple way to meet new people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>\u201cThe point of bingo is for students to enjoy the old classic game bingo, be with other students and the reward is cool prizes,\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Washburn said. Students do enjoy the bingo nights here at UMPI. Whenever the word \u201cBingo!\u201d is shouted through the air, the room fills with groans and whispers of, \u201cI was only one away.\u201d The winners are smiling and make their way confidently up to the host to assure their win and claim their prizes. A Food Bingo winner, regular bingo attendee and UMPI student Courtney Cote, said, \u201cI feel like it\u2019s good competition, a good environment and lots of people show up. Plus, who doesn\u2019t like to win stuff?\u201d So, keep an eye out for bingo events on campus this semester and don\u2019t hesitate to attend for a chance to win fun themes prizes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Keep an eye out for Bingo nights here on campus.
