Conditional Formatting - Can I select a select with Conditional Formatting?

I have a menu button which is already assigned a macro. I want to add one
more step to the macro...

Currently I have a Bingo Screen on my worksheet...
B 1-15
I 16-30
N 31-45
G 46-60
O 61-75

These are all blacked out and will only change (conditional formatting) when
a particular cell matches the number.

My macro (in the menu I mentioned above) will change that highlighted cell
(one that I currently need to select) and change it from green pattern with
red font to a no fill pattern with black font, then generate the next number
by doing some other things...

I was wondering if its possible to have any cell which "lights up" with a
red font and green pattern (which could appear anywhere in the numbers i
have described above).

If I could add such a command/script/vba (not sure of the proper name) then
I would just need the one menu button to continue to the next bingo turn.

Thanks for your assistance in advance.

Why didn't you make the grid where the numbers are "stored" symmetrical?

If you meant the primary display panel where the numbers drawn will "light
up", the set-up was done to the OP's specs. If you mean the top left grid
where the drawn numbers are consecutively displayed in a zig-zag fashion,
it's perhaps because I'm asymmetric <bg>. Anyway, I've taken your point,
Biff, and revised the top left grid to a symmetric 15 R x 5 C

*Includes additional CF to "light up" the letters "B-I-N-G-O" in G18:G22
when the entire row of 15 numbers to the right of each letter are fully
drawn
[ via selecting G18:G22 (with G18 active), and using the formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(H18:V18,$G$2:$K$16))=15 ]
 
[ via selecting G18:G22 (with G18 active), and using the formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(H18:V18,$G$2:$K$16))=15 ]

Oops, just realized that the CF formula above,
following normal COUNTIF syntax should actually be written as:
=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF($G$2:$K$16,H18:V18))=15

But in this instance, think the earlier one works just as well
(Thanks to symmetry!)
 
=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF($G$2:$K$16,H18:V18))=15

Or, slightly shorter using SUM:
=SUM(COUNTIF($G$2:$K$16,H18:V18))=15
