ROYAL CITY - If you've Ever thought about playing the SHOC (Strengthening the Heart of the Community) Bingo, tomorrow night would be a good idea.

According to SHOC's Linda Murphy, the bingo jackpot will be $468 in 62 numbers for the Wednesday, Feb. 19, game.

SHOC Bingo is played at the Moose Lodge in Royal City. SHOC volunteers start selling game cards at 5:30 p.m. and begin calling at 6 p.m.

The basic buy in is $10 with additional cards available for $1 each. Most players buy the basic $10 packet and three additional cards for a total of $13 at the beginning of the night. SHOC sells additional $1 cards throughout the night for the higher percentage jackpots.

The Moose Lodge sells a small variety of dinner choices and beverages each game night. The prices range from $3-$6 for the dinner items.

"People who play each week have a great time socializing with their neighbors and cheering on the winners of each game," Murphy said.
