Your question starts with a number that changes, so this article starts with the number that does not
Foxwoods Resort Casino is a fixed point at 41.47388889, -71.95805556. The straight-line distance from Manhattan to Foxwoods is 118.9 miles, measured great-circle. That figure is stable; a Mother's Day bingo jackpot is not, and no published reference source can state today's or that day's amount.
Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance. This article does not publish driving mileage and never estimates travel time, because a road route depends on bridges, traffic, and the specific starting point. What this article can give you is the fixed geography of the venue and the straight-line distances to many reference points, so you can see how far Foxwoods sits from the places people typically travel from.
Where Foxwoods sits
Foxwoods is in Ledyard, Connecticut, in the southeastern part of the state. The venue is owned and operated by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation on their reservation. Including six casinos, publicly published reference sources describe the resort as covering an area of 9,000,000 square feet.
The documented opening year for the original tower, Great Cedar, is 1992. The Grand Pequot Tower opened in 1997, and the third tower opened in 2008 as the MGM Grand. Ownership and branding of casino properties change through sales and rebrands, so the current operating structure should be confirmed on the venue's own site.

Many additional reference pairs exist for this venue, including other casino properties and smaller cities. The table above shows a broad geographic spread. If the specific pair you need is not listed, this article cannot measure that segment, and you should use a mapping tool with your own starting address.
Why straight-line and road distance differ
A great-circle line is the shortest path across the surface of the earth between two coordinate points. A road cannot follow that line. The difference comes from several structural factors.
- Terrain: hills, rivers, and forested land force roads onto indirect paths.
- Water bodies: Long Island Sound and the region's rivers mean a straight line may cross water where no bridge exists.
- Road network shape: highways connect population centers, not arbitrary coordinate pairs, so routes bend toward interchanges and bypasses.
- State borders: a route may cross into Rhode Island or Massachusetts and back, adding length that a geometric line ignores.
Because of these factors, the road distance from any starting point to Foxwoods will always exceed the straight-line figure shown here. The size of the gap depends on the route and the starting location.
If your question starts with "from me" or "from my location"
The venue's position is fixed; your position is not. No article can know where you are standing when you read it, so no honest article can state a distance from you. What you can do is measure from your own starting point to the venue's coordinates, 41.47388889, -71.95805556, using any mapping tool.
The table above gives you fixed reference cities so you can anchor your sense of scale. If you are near one of those cities, the straight-line figure tells you the minimum possible separation. Your actual road route will be longer, and only a routing tool that knows your exact origin can compute it.
What the Mother's Day bingo jackpot question requires
A bingo jackpot on a specific day is a live, changeable figure. No static article can hold it. The amount depends on how the session is structured, how many players buy in, whether there is a guaranteed minimum, and whether a progressive has been building across previous sessions. Those variables change from week to week and from one holiday to the next.
The authoritative current answer lives in the venue's own published bingo information: the bingo page on the Foxwoods site, the bingo hall's posted session sheet, or the venue's guest services line. Confirm the Mother's Day session time, the buy-in structure, and whether the jackpot is guaranteed or progressive before you travel.
What to confirm before you go
Several items change between the day you read this and the day you arrive. Each has a specific channel that holds the current answer.
- Bingo session schedule for Mother's Day: confirm on the venue's bingo page or by calling the bingo hall directly.
- Jackpot amount and structure: confirm whether the figure is a guaranteed minimum or a progressive that grows with participation.
- Buy-in and package details: confirm what a session package includes and whether separate admission applies.
- Current operating hours for the bingo hall: confirm on the venue's published hours page.
- Driving route and road conditions: use a live mapping tool with your exact starting address; this article does not publish road mileage.
Facility figures such as room counts, machine counts, and floor area are revised as properties are rebuilt and expanded. The figures in this article come from publicly published reference sources and describe a documented point in time, not necessarily today's configuration.
