Card Spins
Every Gamecard has a serial number that is unique to that card. During each show numbers will spin on screen revealing numbers similar to the gamecard serial numbers. Those who having matching numbers receive prizes from digital cameras to cars
Bingo Games
There are 3 Bingo games that take place in BingoLotto and these are the red, yellow and blue "cards" that form part of each BingoLotto Gamecard. Like traditional Bingo, players at home (and in the studio) will tick off the numbers as they are read out. If you get 4 corners or a line, you could win. This is done by ringing through to the studio.
Commercial Presentations
Throughout the game viewers will be given the opportunity to purchase items that are similar to the prizes being given away during the game. It is currently unknown if this will be in a
bid.tv manner or if it will be similar to that oftelevision commercials .cite news| title = Announcing the Launch of Exciting New Primetime Lottery TV Game | publisher = Bingolotto| date =21 January ,2008 | url = http://www.bingolotto.tv/files/20080121-BingoLottoLaunches.pdf| accessdate = 2008-01-21]Beneficiaries
