broadcast
Over the years, the concept of the show has changed again and again. Most recently, with the departure of Monika Walden, the game concept was also changed. Since May 2014 there have been three different game rounds. In these, viewers from home can win prizes and trips by phone. While the callers can look forward to their winnings in round one, in round two a player has to answer a question on the phone. If the answer is correct, he receives the normal prize; if it is incorrect, he wins a consolation prize. In round three, a caller has to face a "duel". The opponent of the duel was found out in a quiz on the show. There two candidates compete against each other in the “Incredible BINGO! Quiz”. The questions here revolve around bizarre and rare environmental issues. The winner of the quiz finally competes in a duel against a caller. Here you have to answer a guessing question. The winner receives a normal prize, the loser a consolation prize.
In addition to the phone game, there are environmental contributions in every broadcast. These are about animals, nature and sustainability in Northern Germany.
The transmission time is usually one hour (shortened in the case of election coverage), always from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The number of viewers is between 600,000 and one million viewers and the show is one of the most watched programs in Northern Germany and the NDR.
Project funding
The program pays particular attention to its own project funding. A committee with various members from environmental associations advises and decides on the allocation and promotion of the funds obtained from the lottery proceeds and thus a large number of projects have been and will continue to be carried out. Currently around 6000 projects have already been supported. A wide variety of approaches to promoting and maintaining the natural habitat are pursued. Near-natural habitats for animals and plants are maintained or created, such as orchards or biotopes. Educational work is also carried out in the form of school projects and environmental education measures, which in turn promote awareness of ecological issues. Environmental associations, environmental offices and nature conservation associations provide helpful support for the program. In addition to active environmental protection, information about the latest findings from the fields of nature, species and environmental protection also has an important place in the program. Evidence of the activities is published, among other things, in the annual reports of the "Lower Saxony Bingo Environment Foundation".
