A sixty four year old Worcester woman has won ₤20 000 while playing bingo at the gala Bingo Club in Forgate Street. She was one of the recent winners who called bingo in forty five numbers and had to share with three other player who all did exactly the same thing. This is a most unusual occurrence and in all my time of bingo reporting, it is the first time I have ever seen more than two winners sharing the same prize.

The woman and her sister play together once a week and she says that she was a bit numb when she realised how much money she had won. She also said that her sister was far more excited than she. Her husband was also very please when she told him. The woman has been a member at the Gala bingo club since it opened, she has two children and four grandchildren and has absolutely no idea what she is going to do with the money.

Well that was short and sweet, I guess that this bingo player was too stunned to actually say much about her great win. It is strange really most people react with excitement and yet others are too stunned for word. However it is that they react, I suppose it is pretty well known in bingo circles that it is great to win, however this is in the majority secondary to the entertainment and socializing aspect of the game.
