Here is some bingo history for you:
    The game's history can be traced back to 1530, to an Italian lottery called "Lo Giuoco del Lotto D'Italia".
I believe this game was initiated by the Pope so that he could entice everyone to show up for the Council of Trent.

The door prizes must have been fabulous, they kept coming back year after year!
