Two bingo winners from the same Gala club in Staines Road, Hounslow have won more than ₤54 000 between them, with one winner taking home ₤43 200 and the other just over ₤11 000, and this all happened in less than 24 hours.
The first winner, a seventy year old woman from Hanworth, won half of a share National bingo jackpot that stood at ₤80 000 by calling full house on forty numbers, and the following day a seventy-seven year old Hounslow woman more than ₤11 000 after calling bingo in forty-one calls. This win came at a very good time for her as it was just a few days prior to the birth of her eighth grandchild.
Both winners wish to remain anonymous but the second winner did say that she had been married for fifty-four years and they had never had money in this amount, ever in their whole lives. She said that this is a lot of money for them and when she found out just how much she had won she put her head down on the table and cried her eyes out. She has been a member at the same Gala bingo club for nineteen years and plays about twice a week. She said that she has such a lovely family, she will definitely be using the money to treat them all.
