It doesn't matter to me at the moment that the numbers don't match (I think I also noted in one of my posts that somebody incorrectly identified the last ball called as G55 when it was G52 that has the bold star on it, with the lighter star over B14 which showed in the screen).

What matters to me is that the game in play BEHIND the winner box showing only had 39 numbers called (you only need 24 to win a coverall so it's mathematically possible to win in 39 numbers), and it appears in the game description at the top of a somewhat fuzzy screenshot that the coverall was worth $2500 whereas the winner box showed $5000 as the winning amount, which was supposedly the NEXT game to be played. Maybe in their manipulation, somebody forgot to inform the winner that the 'fix' was in ahead of time, and you just happened to contact her before they realized she hadn't been told first. LOL

What also matters to me is that the 'winner' obviously WASN'T a 'bot' or 'house player' since once you contacted her to congratulate her on the win didn't know anything about it and neither did her reconcile show that win OR even the game ID number.

Do you happen to know if that "winner" name is now listed on the home page and being used to advertise that huge win by the site? If so, THAT would be VERRRRRY interesting, doncha think, considering the "winner" is totally in the dark over this game and win? I hope you kept the IM or email correspondence you had with her confirming that she knew nothing about this.

Vega....in the infamous words of Dezi Arnez...."you got some 'splainin' to do.' LOL

You got a good point there NAVYMANS-MOM. Also BingoVega nevr updates their winners board. Most of the players they have listed as winners have changed their names ong time ago. They did a upgrade pn their software and still didn't change the winners list.They stll even use this:

...Your bingo site is the best on the web. I've played other sites but they don't even come close to being as good as your site. The Bingo hosts are great, as are the Support people. I can't deposit as much as some people, but I am treated just the same as those that can.

I am not sure I would conclude that the player that won the jp and knows nothing about it is not a houseplayer. they come in all shapes ya know. Just because someone has a name and a messaging program does not necessarily make them a depositing real player.
I am NOT saying that the player in question is a houseplayer, but I have known people to be willing to be used as a housie for a few bucks or other perks. It is not out of the question.
When it is suggested that she was not alerted to the win when she was contacted about it, and knew nothing of it, a little buzz goes off in my "LQQK at that" area. Maybe a mistake was made in the sense that the wrong player won.Maybe it was supposed to go to another player and someone in admin. goofed.
If someone forgot to tell this player about the win, does that not pre-suppose that someone was scheduled to win? Why would a site randomly select a "real" player to win without making a big fuss over the win and advertising it on the winners list? It could be considered a sacrifice by the site to rekindle the interest and depositing of real players. An investment of sorts.
Whatever is going on, if this is not a big alarm to those that are putting their money into this site hoping for a reasonably fair chance of winning, then they are blind or just enjoy contributing funds to a very deceitful and slipshod organization.

Doesn't is seem strange that this winner never posted anything here about her winning card? Every single player at Vega is reading these posts including her and her daughter. Makes ya wonder huh?
