Winning Housie
Whether you’re aiming for a small cash prize or hamper, winning Housie is one of the most thrilling feelings you can experience!
Tips For Winning Housie
- Buy a card for a neighbour. That way, if you want to play one more game and you’re low on funds, they’ll be able to help you out.
- The less crowded the room, the greater your winning odds. This could mean a smaller prize if the jackpots are not fixed, as the prize comes from the door sales.
- The Coverall or Blackout Housie games are much longer games and so the chances of successive numbers coming together are higher.
Claiming Housie Wins
Claiming Housie wins is generally straightforward, but remember, be 100% sure of your win before you shout ‘Housie!’
Here are some other things to consider if you’re winning Housie:
- In online Housie winners do not have to call ‘Housie!’ to win as the system automatically records a winning ticket and registers the winning player.
- Big jackpot winners at online Housie sites have to email the site support to claim their prize.
- In Housie halls, when a player claims a prize, the tickets must be checked, which takes about 30 seconds. Once the win has been confirmed, the game carries on for the next prize (two lines or ‘full house’) or stops if the win was a ‘full house’ win.
Losing Housie
While no one likes to lose, losing Housie needn’t be the worst experience ever.
The next time you miss out on a win, keep these points in mind:
- Housie should be about the fun. If you don’t get a win, but your neighbour gets more than one win, don’t make him or her feel bad about it.
- Not winning in a charity game still means you have helped simply by buying tickets. Proceeds of ticket sales go towards many charities.
- Sometimes players have bad nights, other times they have losing streaks. Even those won’t last forever, so don’t lose sleep over it.
