A gaming enthusiast has won an online bingo jackpot described as “massive” by the prize-giving website.
Mecca Bingo dished out £75,587 to one of its players recently - and the lucky lady was only online because she thought it was too cold to head out and play at a land-based hall.
The woman in question was beverleyt and she had not even been an online bingo player for one whole week when her numbers came up.
A full house was achieved in 30 calls and it came as a surprise to beverleyt, she told the Mecca Bingo site.
“I got the call from Bingo Dave congratulating me on winning £75,587.73. I actually had to ask my partner to come to the phone as I could not believe what I was hearing,” she revealed.
Mecca Bingo ran an environmentally-friendly scheme earlier this year, which involved its members receiving free energy-saving lightbulbs.
Gala Bingo is now running the same promotion alongside Southern Electric and charity Sue Ryder Care.
