My friend won.
I like these type of reports.
The report was pretty convinsing.
That's because the 'game' is prety crooked!

channel 7 does it all the time to the other networks so a little payback is expected. I like how grimshaw said at the end of the story "Anyone have any problems with that show please let us know"
Anyone see the story on ACA tonight?
At one point in the story they had someone who said that they always get 3 or 4 numbers and it can't a coincidence.
Frustrating, yet all too common to see people come on that type of show with no idea whatsoever about what they are talking about.
Of course it isn't a coincidence, all it takes is to read the terms and conditions printed on the game cards. It says that the game cards are printed after the show is taped, so they can set a number of pre-determined winning tickets, likely (im guessing) in line with the registration that they have in running the competition (giving away a certain amount of $)
Of course they want you to get 3 or 4 numbers every time, it keeps people watching
Successful marketing, that has sucked in the losers once again who have no idea and run to the current affairs programs crying foul
As for the other claims by the contestant, you have to remember that if they are using the footage shown on the actual program, is there any guarantee that they dont just use any old footage of a ball running down the chute rather then of the actual ball at the time.
Another great "story" from a "current affairs" program

You are exactly correct Daniel138, all 6 episodes were taped in early september.
All winning bingo cards are predetermined. A certain amount of winners were assigned to every state weighted on population, ie Sydney had the most winning cards assigned. The way they determine the winner is by assigning a certain amount of winning times a day, so for example if the winning time was 8.00 am, the first person to download a card after that time would be assigned a winning card, everyon else is a loser.
You were also correct when you say that it has been rigged so that losers almost always miss out by 1 number to keep you interested. You were again right when you say they have completely edited the footage to make it seem more exciting than it was.
Having said that, nothing they have done is illegal and it has all been spelt out in the terms and condition.
How do i know all this? I have a friend that works at Yahoo7.

Its like saying scratchies are rigged because you are always one number off winning.

Another ACA report tomorrow night on National Bingo Night. They've roped in the "Nooooo Bingo" Indian guy (Tanvir?) and he's admitted that it's rigged. Wonder if this will lead to him getting fired?

He probably knows the show won't last belong this week anyway. Might as well make some more money out of the show

Seven banned him from going on the Chaser to do the "Nooooooooooo Costello" bit, I was surprised at how Australian he is, no Indian accent at all, I think he knows that the show will go under sooner than later and as said before he just wants to make some money out of it being rigged.And didn't Seven ban him from going on some other show? I'd say he's a little
i think it was a girl. if you look at the fice it jsut looks like a girls face, and its not just one of those men that look slightly girly it was a ****en girls face.
feel sorry for the host, especially since alan is also ellen, how would you know which one it was?
can't believe someone gave the whinging family from a current affair yesterday a trip to the gold coast. For those who didn't see it, the kids had been playing bingo for 3 weeks and hadnt won. They were so disappointed that its rigged as they had already planned their trip which they were going to pay for with the winnings. They assumed they'd win even though in any game the chances are low. I cant believe they were rewarded for their stupidity. And I can't believe the parents didn't tell the kids they were unlikely to win. But I guess they did win in the end...unfortunately.
You cant be serious? Shit can ACA give me money when I dont win a scratchy?
I was screaming at the tv. How ridiculous.
I was thinking to myself I might ACA and complain. I enter all the Millionaire 'interactive' questions and need to pay for a holiday with my winnings but they never call me. It is rigged.
The Mint, I had a right answer but couldnt get through. I want the $1000 that the other person won.
Like wise with Temptations $5 note thing. I never win on that either. Rigged. I want the prizes for being a stupid ignorant person that thinks every prize on TV should be won by everyone.
I cant believe ACA is so ignorant that they think bingo is the only rigged game.

I can't believe you think ACA actually think that.
And BTW that family p***ed me off as well.
