It was a lucky day for three bingo players who have just won more than £11,000 each on the National Bingo jackpot game. They won the money after they all called house in 45 numbers on this game in their respective bingo clubs. The total prize money for the day was £30,354 and was divided equally amongst the three winners.

One of the winners is a 20 year old unemployed lady from Bristol, who won the sum while playing at her local Mecca Bingo hall in Barton Hill. She has stated that she is now looking forwards to a big shopping expedition after winning the sum, she had earlier won a house jackpot prize of £500 and it seems that her luck is holding out.

She told the national gaming body, “I could not believe my luck. I just wanted to sit and cry.” She has been playing bingo since the age of 18 and wanted to share the win with her family, who was with her when she won the prize.

The other winner who shared the jackpot was playing at the Mecca Bingo club in Bridgewater. The winner has been a member of the club since 1992 and plays there twice a week.

Lee Rothery, the club duty manager said, “The winner was totally shocked by his win. We are always happy when one of our regular players wins money.”
