Celebrities call the bingo balls

A new series of charity bingo games kicks off in New York this week. The games will see celebrities calling out the numbers as they are drawn and will have prizes such as Broadway memorabilia.

It's certainly a pretty cool idea, though the list of celebrities currently lined up to call the balls is not exactly A-list. Anything though to continue the rise of bingo back to being popular is great in my opinion. However, the price of $10/$15 entry and $2 per ticket will probably price most people out.

The first event will take place on May 11th.
