So what's your number, baby?

The swellest bingo promotion out there? Easy: It’s gotta be Platinum Play virtual casino hall’s “Bingo Ball for Life.” Come on, who wouldn’t want to own a number? How cool is this concept, anyway?

Here’s how it works.

1. Choose a number, any number. Well, any bingo number, anyway. Can’t choose? No sweat: Platinum Play generously provides a “Bingology” quiz to psuedoscientifically give you a figure.

2. After choosing the number, the player can customize and anthropomorphize the chosen bingo ball with color, facial features, extremities and such.

3. Should a participating “Bingo Ball for Life” player bingo out in a full-house game on their chosen number, the progressive jackpot is won. The promotion starts with a jackpot of £1,000, increasing by £1,000 to a maximum of £50,000 until a single player wins. If 50 weeks pass without a winner, tiebreakers go into effect, with he/she who came closest to achieving the specified win named the £50,000 jackpot winner.

Then, promises Platinum Play, it starts all over. Of course.

My number? Why 42, naturally; you can’t go wrong with the answer to life, the universe and everything, right?
