Big Money Bingo, developed by Scientific Games (NASDAQ: SGMS), is authorized by the Charitable Gaming Division of the Michigan State Lottery.  The game is a linked progressive bingo game that is available at select charitable bingo locations throughout the state.  The Big Money Bingo jackpot starts at $10,000 and grows each day until it is won.  The progressive draw begins with 49 balls drawn and if not won, the number of balls drawn increases by one each week.

In 2006, over $74 million raised through charitable gaming activities was contributed to support community projects and programs such as, schools, libraries, scholarships, school athletic programs, fire departments, youth camps, crisis centers, disabled citizens, medical research, senior citizen programs, soup kitchens, and many more.  Without the funding derived from charitable gaming, many of these invaluable community projects would not exist.
