🎱 THE PROGRESSIVE HAS BEEN HIT!!! 🎱

And what a night it was at The Buck Stops Here! After 8 rounds of building excitement, our BIGGEST PROGRESSIVE POT EVER finally found its winner! 💰🏆

But this one was about more than just bingo...

❤️ THIS ONE WAS FOR SHARON! ❤️

Our beloved Sharon Costello, better known as “The Blackout Bandit,” may no longer be sitting in her favorite spot, but her spirit is still very much a part of Bingo at the Buck.

Just a couple of weeks ago, we honored Sharon with five special blackout games, shared memories, and celebrated the woman who brought so much laughter and love to our bingo family.

And last night, her progressive jackpot was finally hit, we couldn't help but think of her. ❤️

Sharon, this one's for you! We know you would've loved every minute of it!

🎉 A HUGE congratulations to our progressive jackpot winner and ALL of last night's bingo winners!

🐧 And since we're celebrating, there's only ONE thing left to do...

DANCE LIKE YOU'VE GOT HAPPY FEET! 🐧💃🕺

Thank you to everyone who continues to make Tuesday nights so special. We're more than a bingo crowd. We're family. ❤️

And somewhere, we just know the Blackout Bandit is smiling. 🖤

Last night's Bingo at The Buck was different.

This week’s winners video isn’t like the ones we normally make. There are no crazy AI transformations or funny themes. Tonight wasn’t about that.

Last night was about Sharon.

Sharon Costello was more than a regular at The Buck Stops Here. She became part of our family. She joined us for meals, spent her Sundays with us after church, and, of course, became a familiar face around the bingo tables every Tuesday night.

And if you played bingo with Sharon, you knew about her knack for winning those blackouts. There was a reason we lovingly called her “The Blackout Bandit.” ❤️

Last night, we saved Sharon’s seat. Her chair remained empty, but at her place was her Starry, flowers, a blacked-out bingo card, and the beautiful framed tribute that Sharon’s family gave to us. To her family—thank you. That gift means more to us than we can put into words.

Instead of our normal bingo night, we played FIVE blackout games in Sharon’s honor. And instead of yelling “BINGO!” when someone won, tonight we yelled:
“SHARON!” ❤️

We also did something different with our winners. Instead of turning them into an AI video, we asked them to share their own memories of Sharon.

Real people. Real memories. One very special lady.

And apparently our Blackout Bandit wasn’t quite ready to give up that progressive jackpot—because after five blackout games, the progressive is STILL ACTIVE! ❤️

Thank you to everyone who came out tonight, shared a memory, played a card, laughed with us, and helped us celebrate Sharon the way we believe she would have wanted—with friends, family, bingo and a whole lot of blackouts.

Her chair was empty tonight.
But Sharon was everywhere.
Rest in peace, Sharon Costello — our Blackout Bandit. ❤️

Until we meet again.

And to our Bingo at the Buck family, join us again next Tuesday. The progressive lives on... and something tells us Sharon would get a kick out of that. ❤️

We love you and we will miss you, Sharon
