ABSTRACT:
A set of game cards, such as bingo cards (10) which each display an arrangement of game indicia, such as bingo numbers (27) are configured for use in combination with jackpot tickets (12) in a game of chance, such as bingo or keno, in which numbers are drawn at random from a pool. The jackpot tickets provide chances for a winner of a bingo game played with the bingo cards to be eligible for a jackpot award. The jackpot tickets (12) each include a set of jackpot numbers (28) selected from the same pool as the bingo numbers (27). These are compared with the bingo numbers on the winning bingo card to determine whether the winning card is eligible for a jackpot award. The jackpot numbers may be arranged in regions (22, 24, 26) corresponding to different award levels, whereby a jackpot number or combination of jackpot numbers from a level which match one or more of the bingo numbers on the winning bingo card, and optionally which meet one or more additional eligibility rules, qualifies the winning card for the jackpot award.
