A LUCKY bingo player is now able to achieve her daughter’s dream wedding after hitting a life changing jackpot of £ 50,000.
She was at the Hollywood Park bingo hall with her daughter when the lucky winner found that all of her numbers came out and she won.
They turned to everyone in disbelief when it was revealed that the jackpot was worth £ 50,000.
The lucky winner said, “It was unreal.
“Time stood still as we both looked at each other and seemed to be saying quietly, ‘Did you hear what I think I just did?’
“It hasn’t really arrived yet.
“No matter who you are, whether you are going to bingo for the first time or have been playing for years, you always have a chance to win.”
The mother has agreed to share her winnings with her daughter, who recently got engaged and wondered how she and her fiancé would pay for their wedding next year.
But that became academic after the big win.
Sharon Fish, Senior Assistant Manager at Apollo Bingo in Barrow, said, “We love playing the National Bingo Game here at Apollo Bingo, but it’s always a lot more fun when we have a big winner and something special when it is won by a longtime winner member who is also a nurse.
“We look forward to celebrating this Saturday with the winner, his family, friends and employees and players when we have a special winners party and our Big Night Out event: everyone in the club will celebrate and have fun.”
Alastair Stewart, Business Development Manager, National Bingo Game, said: “We are very excited to announce our lucky National Bingo Game £ 50,000 jackpot winner at Apollo Bingo Barrow. It’s great to see how several generations are part of the bingo fun and share their winnings: There will be a party at Apollo Bingo this Saturday! ”
The new National Bingo Game is a full house only game and offers players the following jackpot prizes of £ 50,000, £ 1,000 and £ 100.
The National Bingo Game is played twice a day, 364 days a year.
