County Connection is joining in on the fun with County Connection BINGO (what else would we call it?)! To play, visit participating local businesses along County Connection bus routes, collect BINGO stamps, and win prizes. Every BINGO wins!

How to Play – It’s super easy!
- Pick up a County Connection BINGO card at a participating business (see list above).
- Visit participating businesses listed in each BINGO square. These businesses are located along our bus routes. (You don’t have to ride County Connection to the business locations, but we encourage you to do so.)
- Collect business’s unique stamp in the matching square on your card.
- Complete four stamps in a row—horizontally, vertically, or diagonally—to earn a BINGO. Once you have a BINGO, you may submit your card. One card per person. (More on that in a bit.)
- Keep collecting stamps to complete additional rows, or BLACK OUT your entire card by filling every square.
Submit Your BINGO Card, two ways!
Once you’ve completed at least one BINGO (four in a row), submit your card any time during September. Deadline: All entries must be received by 10 a.m. on October 1, 2026. To submit your card for a prize and grand prize drawing, you may:
- Submit online – This is the preferred way. Complete the online submission form and upload a clear photo of your completed BINGO card. You’ll be asked to provide: BINGO card number, name, email, address (for mailed prizes), and a photo of your completed BINGO card. Note: We won’t use your contact information for anything other than this BINGO game. (Unless you want to hear more from us.)
- Our submission form may require that you sign-in to a Google account. If you prefer, you may also email an image of your BINGO card, and provide the BINGO card number, your name, and address to marketing@cccta.org. (Subject: BINGO)
- Drop off your card – You may drop off your card by stopping by the County Connection’s Administrative Office, 2477 Arnold Industrial Way in Concord, Monday-Friday, 8am-3pm up until 10 a.m. October 2, 2026. When you visit our lobby, you’ll be asked to provide us with your BINGO card number, name, and address. (We’ll have a form.)
Win Prizes – Every BINGO wins!
- Complete a BINGO (four in a row) to win a prize from County Connection. Every BINGO wins a County Connection prize pack of a limited edition County Connection trucker cap, stickers, hotel-style key chains, pins, patches–lots of cool stuff. We’ll be giving out multiple prizes per BINGO. More BINGOs = more prizes.
- Also, every completed BINGO also earns one entry into the Grand Prize drawing. BINGO prizes will be distributed at the end of September. The Grand Prize winner will be selected on October 2.
- BLACK OUT Bonus: Fill every square (collect every stamp) on your card to receive eleven (11) entries into the Grand Prize drawing. That means, your name is entered for the drawing eleven times (all the possible BINGOs on a 4 x 4 card) plus a bonus entry for blacking out your card.
