A £36,000 win has put a bingo player on cloud nine this week.
Sue Heath, aged 55, hit the jackpot when playing with her sister-in-law at Walkers Club in the Mansfield Leisure Park.
The business centre manager from Mansfield Woodhouse decided to give bingo a try 18-months ago, after hearing about a local woman who won £100,000.
She told the National Bingo: “We started playing because we thought that if somebody else could win then we could too; but we never really imagined we’d get this kind of money.”
Sue added that she has not had enough time to take in her win to consider what she will do with them.
Her winnings were comprised of £34,150 from the National Bingo Game prize, coupled with £2,139 from the regional prize topped off with an extra £50 for scooping the house prize.
According to the National Bingo, over three million people play bingo regularly in the UK, with one of the most common reasons for taking part being the fun factor.
