Big Money Bingo, developed by Scientific Games
(NASDAQ: SGMS), is authorized by the Charitable Gaming Division of the Michigan
State Lottery. The game is a linked progressive bingo game that is available at
select charitable bingo locations throughout the state. The Big Money Bingo
jackpot starts at $10,000 and grows each day until it is won. The progressive
draw begins with 49 balls drawn and if not won, the number of balls drawn
increases by one each week.
In 2006, over $74 million raised through
charitable gaming activities was contributed to support community projects and
programs such as, schools, libraries, scholarships, school athletic programs,
fire departments, youth camps, crisis centers, disabled citizens, medical
research, senior citizen programs, soup kitchens, and many more. Without the
funding derived from charitable gaming, many of these invaluable community
projects would not exist.
