In the early hours of December 20th, 2013, a group of people gathered around a computer screen in a small room in Washington State. They were playing Bingo.
The game was being played by a team of people who had pooled their money together to buy tickets and compete against each other. The team had been playing for over 25 hours, and they were one win away from winning 250 thousand dollars.
But someone else was also vying for the win. Another team had also pooled their money together and they were only one win away from beating the first team.
If the first team lost, then the second team would win the entire 250 thousand dollar pot.
The tension in the room was palpable as the two teams watched their bingo cards go by. The first team had a few wins, but it was clear that the second team was about to take over.
Then, at around 3am, something happened that would change everything.
Someone on the second team won a big bingo prize and took all of the money from the pot. This meant that the first team didn’t win anything – they had been beaten by someone who had pooled their money together much more effectively than they had done.
Who Won 250 Thousand Playing Bingo?
This is a question that has yet to be answered definitively, as no one knows for sure who won the 250 thousand dollar pot on December 20th, 2013. However, it is likely that it was one of the teams who pooled their money together – this is because it is much more effective to do so than to attempt to compete individually against other players.
