During the past week, three lucky men have hit the jackpot prize on the National Bingo, reaching an amazing £90,000 between the three of them. This proves that bingo’s image has changed during the last couple of years and that old ladies are no longer the typical land based bingo users.
The first big win belongs to a man who won over ₤32,000 at his local Winners Bingo Club in Guildhall Street. The fortunate man is looking forward to spending his money on a holiday with his family as well as buying a brand new car. “It stunned me,” said the lucky man who is a factory department manager. “I carried on playing afterwards but I was just going through the motions. If I had won again I wouldn’t have known.”
The second win belongs to George Carter, who managed his big win on the third time he had played bingo at his local Gala Bingo Club, where he won over than ₤21,000 on the national bingo games jackpot prize. The young winner of only 21 years of age said that his amazing bingo win left him astounded. George, who Works as an account’s assistant, said: “My parents didn’t relieve me when I told them, even when I showed them the claims form the club had given me. They thought I had been going to a mate’s house to make it.”
The last and largest bingo win was from a man from Stevenage who won ₤37,000 on the national bingo game at the Mecca Bingo club in Danestrete. The operations manager at the Mecca bingo, regarding the man’s huge bingo win, said: “He was pretty amazed when he realised how much he had won and it didn’t sink in at first. It was great to see one of our regulars win on the National and we’re really pleased for him. We’re looking forward to many more bingo wins at the club.” The providential man has been a member of the club for 15 years and plays there a few times a week ever since.
