Sisters are suing it for themselves

Two sisters are suing it for themselves this month, after their other sibling Edna Sexton went back on agreement to split her bingo win three ways.

Aggrieved and out of pocket, Linda Kenny and Doreen Thomas have taken their battle for a share of the £50,000 to the court room, where they hope a judge will make the final call.

Lucky Edna, aged 59, won the cash at playing the National Game at the Buckingham Bingo Palace in Liverpool, during June 2007.

Mrs Kenny told the court this week: “I actually bought Edna’s National Game ticket for her because she was late arriving.

“To do so, I was let into the queue one place ahead of my sister Doreen – so it really should have been hers anyway.”

She also claims that the three sisters had an oral agreement, which they entered into in 2005, that if any of the clan won, they would split the money equally between them.

However, when Edna hit the bingo big time she told the sisters that she was going to save £10,000 and use the rest to go on a shopping spree, which did not go down well.

The case continues this week and its ruling may well set a precedent for other bingo battles.
