If the claimed winning pattern is wrong, you would not be allowed to use the same ticket while playing the game. The player who first marks all the numbers in the winning pattern is declared the winner after the dealer verifies the numbers on the ticket match the pattern. The objective is to mark/strike all the numbers in the ticket available to the player. With each draw, the caller announces the number and marks it on the board. In online games, the number is drawn automatically on the website by software. It could be written on a ball, a piece of paper, or any form. The game starts with the dealer drawing the number from a box. Tambola, also known as Bingo, Housie, and Tombola, is a popular game that originated in Italy in the early 1500s and was known as 'Il Giuoco del Lotto d'Italia.' It is often known as Bingo in the Western countries, whereas in South East Asian countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, etc., it goes by the name Tambola or Tombola.
