The new National Bingo game is really on a roll and it seems that it is becoming easier for more people to win. Since the introduction of the game last month there have bee some really big winners and this seventy-five year old Islington woman is no exception.
She was playing bingo at the Mecca Bingo Club in Lordship Lane, Wood Green when she won £86,683 from the Platinum jackpot, £7,220 which was the national game prize, the regional prize of £1,066 and just as a cherry on the cake, the house prize of £69. Not bad going for an afternoon playing bingo!
She shares the Platinum prize with another winner in Bristol, but is certainly not complaining. The women reported that the manager of the Mecca Bingo Club came over to her and asked her if he told her how much she had won, she wouldn’t have a heart attack would she? Never in her life did she expect something this big to happen to her.
She is a widow and she plans to buy her house with the money as well as treat her five children, seven grandchildren and three great grandchildren.
