A very lucky grandmother and bingo fan, who lives in London, recently took home a £34,000 National Bingo Game jackpot, which will allow her to visit her daughter in France. The winner was playing at the Mecca Bingo Hall in Eltham Hill, London, when she called bingo.
“It’s really going to change my life and I couldn’t thank bingo enough if I tried. Now we’ve got the money we can say, Yes, I can have this’ or ‘Yes, I can do that’ without even thinking about it. It’s lovely,” the lady said in tears. She scooped the National Bingo Game, plus the regional prize and the Mecca Bingo in house prize.
The mother of four and grandmother of seven recalled that when she shouted bingo, all the other players and the staff started applauding and cheering. She also commented that she has been playing bingo for more than 36 years and this is the first time she wins such a big prize.
When asked how she would spend her money, the lady said: “I intend to treat my family and also buy a new settee, and I will visit my daughter, who lives in France and whom I haven’t seen in a long time.”
