There are two ways to play bingo – online and at a bingo hall on just about every high street in Britain. Patricia Lowe decided to try her luck with the latter recently and landed herself a massive win just in time for Christmas!
A regular at the Mecca Bingo branch in Oldham, Patricia sat with her daughter and a few friends when the evening took a very exciting and unexpected turn. One the first half session of games and interval were over, the bingo dabbers took to their seats to play the National Bingo Game…
…a special 50-ball jackpot variant with a guaranteed prize in every club. Not only is there a full house prize of a couple of hundred pounds in every club, but three possible jackpots too! Calling a full house (10 numbers) within 24 calls awards an additional £100, calling a full house within 20 calls awards an extra £1K prize, or do what Patricia did – win a full house withing 16 calls to bag £50K in cash!
Dab, Shout & Win
As the game began, Patricia noticed her ticket filling up one number after the other, until all ten numbers were marked within 16 calls! Yelling for the win, the lucky winner was in shock at just how quickly she had marked those numbers off! Despite being an avid bingo player for years, this is the first time Patricia has won anything this substantial.
When asked how she felt in the moment of her big jackpot win, Patricia said: “It was so overwhelming – I honestly couldn’t believe it! I still can’t!”It’ll be a Christmas and New Year to remember, that we have no doubt about!
Ryan Jackson, general manager at Mecca Bingo Oldham, added: “It’s always an incredible occasion when someone calls house on the National Bingo Game. We’re absolutely ecstatic for the winner. The atmosphere in the club was brilliant, it’s an absolute pleasure to see bingo lovers win big – we’re so happy for her.”
Mecca Bingo staff at Oldham will now plan a celebratory party in which other bingo players are welcome to join. This usually includes a free meal and drinks.
Alastair Stewart, head of commercial operations at the National Bingo Game, said: “We are thrilled for the lucky National Bingo Game £50,000 Jackpot winner at Mecca Oldham and hope that she enjoys sharing and spending her winnings. We love making big winners, and it’s great to see a regular player win such a life-changing amount at bingo!”
