Groans of heartbreak. Screams of excitement. Shouts of anger. Silent suspense filled the air. All were heard as Longwood students came to the Lee Grand Room of the Dorril Dining Hall for Lancer Production’s Welcome Back BINGO last Saturday.
The annual tradition helped welcome students back to Longwood with neat prizes. The prizes up for grabs ranged from the much-needed toilet paper, laundry supplies and coffee mugs to the most desired Keurig coffee maker and PlayStation 4. Several students walked away with other prizes like an assortment of movies, a Domino’s gift card and even a vacuum cleaner. Probably the luckiest of all the winners was Alexis Gregory, who ended up winning the coveted PlayStation 4, but only after beating another bingo winner in a heated battle of Rock, Paper, Scissors.
“I was thinking ‘Oh my God’ I’m about to win, ‘cause me and the other guy kept tying and then I finally beat him.,’” laughed Gregory, recounting her thoughts during the event.
The junior talked about how winning the PS4 was a great surprise to an already special day, “It’s actually my birthday and all my friends were here so I said ‘Why not?’ and I’m definitely glad I came.”
The very successful event was a platform to help spread the word about some of the upcoming events that Lancer Productions would be holding. Jessica Hamilton, Lancer Production’s late night director, stated: “Last semester we had 150 students come, so we just always want to up the amount of people that come and get the information out as much as possible.” Hamilton also guaranteed that Lancer Productions would definitely continue to host BINGO every semester.
