Oil bust doesn't slow Odessa bingo sessions
Odessa's oil downturn clubs a sunken economy with steady bingo play as about 150 players attend the Ector Lions Club session at 328 Dobbs Ave. The charity game offers a $2,500 pot with three $500 prizes, drawing participants despite unemployment. Proceeds aid Light Conservation eyeglasses, an eye bank, and Kerrville camp for disabled children. The Lions run three weekly sessions and report a diverse crowd eager to try for the payout.
