Abstract
A progressive, bingo-like game is disclosed. The game involves drawing a sequence of numbers and playing a conventional bingo-like game until a desired quantity of numbers to be drawn remains, and matching the remaining numbers to indicia in a manner that only yields a win upon the game's ending if the most recently drawn quantity of numbers all match numbered spaces bearing the indicia. The prize can be progressive prize, or a non-progressive prize, as desired by the game operator. Indicia can be colors, graphical symbols, or other visual designations that are viewable on a player's game card at the beginning of the game.
