A local citizen has become £60,000 richer since winning bingo at his local Gala Bingo club and winning the jackpot on the national bingo game. He plans to travel to Australia to meet his son with the winning amount. The 62 year old man who lives in Bradford can now travel to Australia with his large sum he won at Gala Bingo.

The winner has been playing bingo at his local Gala Bingo club in Oasby Croft, Bradford since it opened. Josie Merrick, the assistant manager at the Gala Bingo in Bradford, said this to the national gaming body after the win, “It was a great way to end a night. There were other players who had won small sums earlier in the night.”

The winner won the large prize after he had completed the full house on the national bingo game in 43 numbers. This was the lowest full house call throughout all the participating bingo clubs. Not only did he win the national jackpot prize of £60,000 on the night, he also walked away with the regional prize of £1,943, plus Gala Bingo’s own in house prize of £80 bringing his total winnings for the night at bingo to a whopping £62,023.

Gala Bingo are withdrawing from the national bingo game, from the 1st of September. The winner might be one of the last ever Gala Bingo winners to win this game.
