bingo cards

Numbered game sheets

Bingo cards are grids used in the game of bingo, typically five columns by five rows, with numbers or words in each square.

Players mark squares as items are called until achieving a winning pattern.

Figuratively, a bingo card lists predictable elements in some category—things you expect to encounter: I had "supply chain issues" on my 2021 bingo card.

To say something wasn't on my bingo card means it was unexpected.
