Spring is here, and we’re adding a little fun to the season!
During September, we’ll be playing Blackwood’s Online Spring Bingo and there are some fantastic prizes up for grabs. There are Limited Spring Bingo cards available, so make sure you get yours while they last. The first valid full-card claim will win a R5,000 Blackwood’s Voucher, with more full-card prizes up for grabs from our wonderful prize partners, Touchwood Interiors and Sagewood Café.
HOW TO PLAY
1. SHOPPERS, GET YOUR SPRING BINGO CARD
Collect your Spring Bingo card with any purchase at any Blackwood’s store, while stocks last. There are limited cards available. One card per shopper.
2. FOLLOW BLACKWOOD’S FACEBOOK & INSTAGRAM PAGES
Follow us on:
Facebook: www.facebookcom/Blackwoods.HoG
Instagram: www.instagram.com/blackwoodsnursery
Throughout September, we’ll reveal ONE new Bingo number every two days on our social media pages.
3. FIND THE NUMBER ON YOUR CARD
When a new number is announced, check your Spring Bingo card. If you have that number, cross it out! Joining the game after September has started? No problem! Simply check our previous Spring Bingo posts and catch up on any numbers you’ve missed.
4. GET ALL 15 NUMBERS?
This is the exciting bit! There are 15 numbers on every Spring Bingo card. Once all 15 numbers on your card have been announced and crossed out:
BINGO! 🎉
Don’t wait! Take a clear photograph of your completed card and email it immediately to: hello@blackwoods.co.za. The first valid full-card claim received will win the R5,000 Blackwood’s Voucher.
But that’s not all…
THERE ARE TWO MORE FULL-CARD PRIZES TO BE WON!
The second valid full-card claim wins a prize from Touchwood Interiors. And the third valid full-card claim wins a prize from Sagewood Cafe. Prize details will be announced on our social media platforms.
WHEN DOES THE GAME RUN?
Spring Bingo starts on 1 September 2026. A new Bingo number will be revealed every two days throughout September, with the final number being revealed on 29 September 2026. The competition closes on 30 September 2026. Any claim received after the closing time will not be considered.
HOW ARE THE WINNERS DETERMINED?
This is a first-valid-claim game. There are more than one potential winning cards amongst the cards printed. A winning card contains all 15 numbers that will be announced during the game. However, simply having a winning card does not automatically make someone a prize winner.
A participant must:
- Have a valid Spring Bingo card.
- Have all 15 Bingo numbers crossed out.
- Submit a clear photograph of the completed card to hello@blackwoods.co.za. First valid full-card emailed through will be announced as our winner.
- Submit the claim before the competition closes.
- Meet all the requirements of these Terms & Conditions.
The timestamp at which a complete and valid claim is received by Blackwood’s will determine the order of the winners.
First valid claim = R5,000 Blackwood’s Voucher. Second valid claim = Touchwood Interiors prize. Third valid claim = Sagewood Café prize
WHAT MUST I SEND WHEN I GET BINGO?
When you have crossed out all 15 numbers, be sure to take a clear photograph showing your entire completed Bingo card.
Email the photograph to: hello@blackwoods.co.za
Please include:
- Your full name
- Your contact telephone number
- A clear photograph of your completed card
Your photograph must clearly show all 15 numbers and the card itself. Please keep your original card safe. Blackwood’s may request the original card for verification before confirming a prize.
IMPORTANT: DON’T CLAIM BINGO TOO EARLY!
A card is only considered a full-card Bingo when all 15 numbers have actually been announced by Blackwood’s. Crossing out a number before it has been officially revealed does not count. Any claim where numbers have been incorrectly crossed out, altered or otherwise manipulated will be considered invalid.
WHAT IF I JOIN THE GAME LATE?
That’s absolutely fine! You don’t need to have been following from the beginning. Simply visit our Facebook or Instagram pages and look back through the previous Spring Bingo posts. Cross off all the numbers that have already been announced and then carry on with us.
Just remember: The competition still closes on 30 September 2026.
