So, out of curiosity I have created an excel sheet that can generate bingo / housie (housey) tickets – 24 of them at a time.

To get new set of tickets you would hit F9 (recalculate).Ĭlick here to download the bingo / housie ticket generator. Note that these are Bingo UK / India / Australia variant I am talking about, not the US 5*5 type of bingo tickets.

Read on if you want to know how this is done:Ī typical housie/bingo ticket. , contains fifteen numbers, arranged in nine columns by three rows. * The second column numbers from 10 to 19, * The first column contains numbers from 1 to 9, Each column contains either one, two, or very rarely three, numbers: Each row contains five numbers and four blank spaces. * The third 20 to 29 and so on up until the last column, which contains numbers from 80 to 90. The problem is now to “generate 15 random number between 1 to 89 and fill them in 15 random spots in a grid of 3 rows by 9 columns such that each row has exactly 5 numbers” I have removed number “90” from the list in order to reduce some complexity in generating the tickets.

The first challenge is to select any random 5 cells in a 9 cell row Now I could write a function in VBA to do this, but I wanted to do this only using formulas. Once we select any random 5 cells in a 9 cell row, we will fill them with bingo numbers. Now, excel has a function to generate random numbers between 1 to 9 ( =round(rand()*9,0)), but this is not good for us since each time we call this function we will get a random number between 1 to 9, where as we need a 5 random numbers without repetition between 1 to 9. The function is memoryless and could repeat numbers when called 5 times. Instead we can list all the possible “5 cells with numbers and others are empty” combinations of a 9 cells region and select a random combination every time. 126 ways in which you can select any 5 cells out of 9 cells ( without repetition of course). Next challenge is to show random values in each cell Now I created a 3*9 region and filled the cells with 1s or 0s, “1” when the cell in bingo ticket is supposed to have a value and “0” if the cell is empty as shown below: Selecting any five cells out of nine cells You can see the first five such combinations in the image below: So I listed all these combinations in a table and then randomly selected one of the combinations. The trick here is that first column in our 3*9 bingo ticket has any number(s) from 1 to 9, second column has any number(s) from 10 to 19 …Īgain, the challenge is the numbers should not repeat, otherwise we could simply use rand()*10, rand()*10+10, rand()*10+20.

While you can download and get these tickets for free but these new-year tambola tickets are also available on sale, do let us know if you want us to do that for you.If the column has 2 values, we will generate 2 random numbers without repetition from that column’s range of possible values and place them in cells that are supposed to have them.If the column has 1 value, we will generate any random number from that column’s range of possible values (1-9, 10-19,20-29,…80-89) and place it in the cell that is supposed to have a value and leave other cells empty.If the column has no values in it, then we will leave all the cells in that column of bingo ticket empty.The ticket generation logic now looks like: This time it gets even more trickier because each column can have either no values, or 1 value or 2 values or 3 values.
