A young woman from Bristol was recently one of the lucky bingo players who spilt the national Bingo Prize three ways. The Jackpot that night was for just over ₤30 000 however three players nationwide called full house in forty five numbers and they split the winnings three ways. This lucky lady, is perhaps luckier than some, as she is only twenty years old and she is unemployed. But not only this, she also won ₤500 just two weeks earlier. Perhaps she should look at becoming a professional bingo player if she is seeking a career, it seems to suit her.
She was playing at the Mecca bingo club in Barton Hill when she won ₤10 118 as her share of the national Prize, ₤1 091 for the regional and a house prize of a not too shabby ₤186.
The young woman said that she wanted to start crying when she learned how much she had won, she just couldn’t believe it and sat there in a complete daze. She has been playing bingo since she was old enough, and for those of you who don’t know the age limit, this is eighteen. She plays with her father once or twice a week and has an agreement with him to share the prize money. After she has spilt her winning with her dad, her sister and a friend of her father, she will be buying a laptop (a useful tool indeed) and spending the rest of her share on clothing.
