There was a young girl, maybe 10 years old, who won BINGO multiple times. On her second time winning BINGO, there was also a little girl around age 4 who also yelled BINGO. The prize, however, was awarded the older girl because she yelled BINGO first and took her card up to the announcer. I felt so sad for the younger girl. I could see how heartbroken she was and she was really too young to understand that she needed to be quick once she realized she had BINGO. I thought for sure the older girl would claim the prize and give it to the younger girl, but she didn't. We continued to play BINGO until we were on the last prize of the night. It was a little pair of purple fairy wings. We kept playing even though none of my kids were really interested in the prize. In fact, Grant would've been mortified to go up and claim his pair of fairy wings if he won, hahaha! After a few minutes, I won BINGO. I took Morgan up with me to claim the fairy wings and I knew Morgan didn't want or need them, so we took them straight over to the little girl who had previously won BINGO. I told her that we knew she had won earlier and wasn't able to get a prize so we wanted her to have these fairy wings. Her reaction is something I will never forget. She was so excited and immediately put the fairy wings on. Her mom was beaming from ear to ear and couldn't thank us enough. Grant, Loren and Morgan all had the chance to make this little girl happy and we all went home feeling a little happier that day!
