Could no one live long enough to print all possible BINGO cards? How is this possible?

In the BINGO game there are seventy-five numbers divided into five groups of fifteen numbers each; B-1 to 15, I-16 to 30, N-31 to 45, G-46 to 60, and O-61 to 75. The BINGO game card has five columns corresponding to the letters BINGO. The bingo game player’s card has twenty-four numbers; five pre-printed numbers in four of the columns below the BIGO and four numbers below the N. Calculating the total number of possible combinations results in 552,446,474,061,129,000,000,000,000. (That’s 552 million trillion or 0.5 quadrillion) possible BINGO game cards. There would be 111,007,923,832,371,000 sets of bingo cards with 4,976,640,000 cards (almost 55 billion) in each game. Each card in each set would have the same twenty-four numbers, but in a different arrangement on each card. If we assume that there are six billion people in the world today, that means there are 92,074,412,343,521,400 bingo cards for each and every person in the world. If you could print one million bingo game cards per second, it would take 17,505,972,382,599.7 years to print as many BINGO game cards as possible. If you put four BINGO game cards on a standard 8-1/2 X 11 sheet of paper, and if you spread all the BINGO game cards out on the surface of the earth, they would cover the earth to a depth of more than 800 miles If there were a million bingo cards per inch of height, and all possible cards were placed in a stack, the stack would span 1485 light-years. (A light year is 6 trillion miles.) Alpha Centuri, our closest star beyond the Sun, is only 4 light-years away.

Here’s more proof.

You can have 120 different arrangements of the five numbers under each of the four columns under the B, I, G, and O. You can have 24 different arrangements of the four numbers under the N. So 120 times, 120 times, times 24 times 120 times 120 equals 4,976,640,000. That is the number of bingo game cards that could exist, all with the same twenty-four numbers, but in a different arrangement on each card.

So, doing the arithmetic, there are 111,007,923,832,371,000 possible unique BINGO combinations where no two cards have the same twenty-four numbers. (That’s 111 million million.)

Oh! All those numbers… Now my head hurts!
