Traditional Touch with Mecca Bingo
We don’t normally report news from traditional bingo halls, probably because we are too busy playing online bingo all the time! But we couldn’t help but pay attention to a retired nurse who recently scooped £221,000 in a single night at Mecca Bingo!
Jean Murdoch, 73, grabbed the jackpot after calling house within 40 numbers, but she also had a lucky star which activated the national jackpot. At first, she thought she had only won £100, but was quickly stunned into silence when she found out the real amount.
Jean, who hails from Kirkconnel, was playing at the Mecca Bingo hall in Ayr when she got the massive win; to celebrate, she treated herself to a brand new car, and Two Little Fleas thinks she deserves it!
Lady Luck shines at Mecca Bingo
The lucky winner said: “When I was eventually told I’d won the jackpot I was a wee bit shocked to say the least. It didn’t sink in and it still hasn’t.”
Previously, the most Jean had ever won was £500: “I go to the bingo at least twice a week with friends but the day I won, I was on my own.”
Not only did she scoop the massive jackpot, she also won £300 from a slot machine whilst she was waiting to hear how much she had won; talk about a lucky lady! Just goes to show that online bingo isn’t the only way to win big, you can still win a packet by getting your best garments on and heading down to Mecca Bingo a Sunday!
