April 1st - 12th, 2024
How does it work?
You will be playing a game of Bingo. If you have a citation and meet the eligibility requirements, you are able to bring in food items to pay for up to 3 citations. You can go to Benny's Pantry or the Parking Office to pick up a Bingo Card and assemble the items on the card. You can also download a Bingo Card here.
To pay for one citation: Gather all of the items in one row, column, or diagonal (totaling 6 items) to form a Bingo and bring them directly to the Parking and Transportation Office.
To pay for two citations: Gather all of the items in two rows, columns, or diagonals (totaling 12 items) to form two Bingos and bring them directly to the Parking and Transportation Office. If there are overlapping items on your Bingo Card, you must bring in two of those items to total 12 items.
To pay for three citations: You must gather all the items on the Bingo Card to obtain a blackout (totaling 36 items) and bring them directly to the Parking and Transportation Office.
