Question
A 'bingo' card has 5 columns and 5 rows. The 5 columns are labeled B,I,N,G,O.  The squares in the 'B' column contain numbers from 1-15, chosen randomly.  The square  in the 'I','N','G', and 'O' columns contain numbers from 16-30, 31-45,46-60, and 61-75 respectively. All numbers are chosen randomly. The square in the center of the card (in the I column) is marked 'Free'.Each player has a bingo card. The Bingo master has a pot containing 75 markers that correspond to the 75 possible markings of the Bingo squares--i.e. B1-B15,I16-I30,…O61-O75.  He chooses markers randomly one by one without replacement, and calls out the letter and number. A player gets 'Bingo' if he gets 5 numbers in a row, or 5 numbers in a column, or 5 on the diagonal (note the '0' is the center is automatically filled).
