The Austin Daily Herald is kicking off its annual Bing-Oh! Spring promotion, with cards included in Wednesday's newspaper. The first set of numbers will be announced in the paper this Saturday, and subsequent issues will include three more numbers with dates for when they are valid. Winners must bring their cards to the Herald office during business hours to claim prizes, as numbers cannot be verified over the phone.

Why it matters

Readers must bring their cards with the winning numbers to the Herald's office located at 1511 West Oakland Avenue between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, and 8:30 a.m. to noon on Friday, to claim their prizes. If multiple people present a winning card at the same time, a random drawing will be held to determine the winner.
