Brazil: 101 bingo players shout "house" at the same time
Chaos erupted at a bingo game when 101 confused players all won at once.
The baffling incident that should have seen the winners take home the top prize of BRL1,000 (£155) happened in the Brazilian coastal town of Iparana on July 2.
Upon inspection, the cause of all this was due to a printing error on the cards.

One winner, Osmar Saldanha, said: "It was a mess. It was the first time I saw something like this.
