A forty-six year old woman who was playing bingo at the Beacon Club in Cricklewood, had been playing bingo for many years and hadn’t won anything in ages, had all but decided to give up playing bingo altogether.
Now I know that bingo is generally played for fun and not for the winning, however it does become a little disheartening when you don’t even win a little bit and everyone else around you is wining. Well she didn’t and on Valentines day she hit the mother-load.
The Greenford woman won the National bingo game of ₤16 947 which was half of what was up for grabs, but had to be shared with another winner in Cumbria, the Regional prize of ₤2 122 and a really nice house prize of ₤404. To win this magnificent sum, the woman called full house on forty-six numbers.
The woman who has been a member of the Beacon bingo club since 1999 and usually plays there twice a week, was so delighted with her win that she had to ask someone to pinch her, and she has decided that she definitely isn’t going to give up playing bingo now. Presently she has no fixed plans for using the money, just that it is really going to help her with her finances.
