📖 What is Smart Tambola?
Smart Tambola is a digital assistant for the classic Housie / Tambola game. Instead of manually scanning your ticket and crossing numbers with a pen, you add your ticket once and let the app do all the tracking for you.
Enter the numbers on your ticket row by row, then call numbers as the host announces them. The app marks them instantly and tells you the moment you win — no missed numbers, no confusion.
🚀 How to Use
- 1️⃣Open the app and enter your ticket numbers — Row 1, Row 2, Row 3 (up to 5 numbers each).
- 2️⃣Click Add Ticket. Your ticket appears as a 3×9 grid below.
- 3️⃣Add as many tickets as you're playing with — there's no limit.
- 4️⃣As the host calls numbers, type each number in the Number Caller box and press Mark (or hit Enter).
- 5️⃣The app highlights matched numbers in red across all your tickets automatically.
- 6️⃣When you win a prize, a banner pops up instantly — claim it!
🎯 What Happens When a Number is Marked
- 🔵Unmatched number — shown in a blue cell, waiting to be called.
- 🔴Matched number — cell turns red with a ✓ checkmark the moment it's called.
- ⬛Empty cell — dark cell, no number in that column for that row (normal in Tambola).
- ⚠️Already called — if you enter a number that was already called, a warning toast appears at the top.

Win Tag on Ticket — a green badge (e.g. "🏆 Early Five") appears on the winning ticket permanently so you can track all prizes won.
Duplicate Number Warning — if you call a number that was already called, a red toast appears at the top saying "X already called!"
