What is the difference between Housie and bingo?

Housie and 90-ball bingo are the same game. "Housie" is the term used in Australia and New Zealand; "90-ball bingo" is the standard term in the UK and internationally; "Tambola" is the South Asian equivalent. The ticket structure, number pool (1–90), and prize sequence are identical across all three names.

How does a Housie ticket work?

Each Housie ticket is a 3×9 grid with 15 numbers spread across three rows. Every row has exactly 5 numbers and 4 blank spaces. Numbers are distributed by column range — column 1 covers 1–9, column 2 covers 10–19, through to column 9 which covers 80–90.

What prizes are awarded in Housie?

The standard Housie prize sequence is: one line (first to complete any single row), two lines (first to complete any two rows), and full house or "Housie!" (first to mark all 15 numbers). Each prize is announced and awarded before the game continues, so up to three different players can win each round.

What is Housie?

Housie is the Australian and New Zealand name for 90-ball bingo — one of the most widely played social games in both countries. Each ticket is a 3×9 grid containing 15 numbers spread across three rows, with exactly 5 numbers and 4 blank spaces per row. Numbers run from 1 to 90, with each column covering a specific range: column 1 holds numbers 1–9, column 2 holds 10–19, and so on to column 9 which covers 80–90.

A standard Housie game awards three prizes. The first player to complete any single horizontal row wins "one line." The first to complete any two rows wins "two lines." The first to mark all 15 numbers on their ticket shouts "Housie!" and wins the full house. Each prize is claimed and verified before the game continues, which means three different players can win from a single round.

Housie is a fixture at RSL clubs, community halls, school fetes, sports club fundraisers, and social gatherings across Australia and New Zealand. This generator produces correctly structured tickets with the authentic number distribution used at every Housie night.
