How a 90-ball bingo ticket is laid out
| Column | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Numbers | 1–9 | 10–19 | 20–29 | 30–39 | 40–49 | 50–59 | 60–69 | 70–79 | 80–90 |
- Rows: every row has exactly 5 numbers and 4 blank squares.
- Columns: every column has at least 1 and at most 3 numbers, sorted from smallest at the top.
- Strips: 6 tickets together hold all 90 numbers, so on a full strip exactly one ticket is marked for each call.
- Ticket numbers: each ticket shows its number and a 4-character game code, so tickets from different games are easy to tell apart.
How to play 90-ball bingo
- Hand out tickets and something to mark them with.
- Call numbers 1 to 90 in random order, using the caller sheet or the free bingo caller, which can read each number aloud.
- One line: the first player to complete any row calls out. Check the ticket, award the prize, and keep calling.
- Two lines: next, play for two complete rows on the same ticket.
- Full house: finally, play until someone marks all 15 numbers.

Median number of calls to the first winner of each prize, from our simulation of 10,000 games per row, using this generator's own tickets (code, data). At one call every 10 seconds, a full game with 30 tickets takes about 12 minutes. More tickets mean faster winners.
How many to print: one ticket per player per game, plus a few spares. For several games, print one strip per player and use a different ticket each game.
Check winning tickets with the free caller
After downloading, choose Host this game. The caller opens with your tickets and calls 1 to 90. When someone calls bingo, type their ticket number under Check a card: it rebuilds that ticket and shows whether it has one line, two lines, or a full house with the calls so far. After each winner, the caller moves on to the next prize automatically, and you can show every call on a TV.

Printing tips
- 6 per page prints a full strip on each sheet; 3 per page gives bigger numbers for young or older players.
- Black and white saves colored ink and photocopies well.
- Different colors for different games: print game 1 in pink and game 2 in blue so tickets don't get mixed up.
- Keep your game code: the caller sheet shows it; you need the same tickets to check winners.
For entertainment only. Bingo with paid entry or cash prizes may need a license where you live.
