By Sarah Smithon Thursday, 14 Feb 2008 A Glaswegian mother-of-two has won more than £17,000 playing bingo this week.
The lucky-lady, who has been playing bingo since she was 18, said she was "absolutely stunned" to walk away with such a large sum of cash.
She told the National Bingo: "I thought I was dreaming when it was announced how much I had won. I don't think I will believe it properly until I've got the money in the bank."
The 47-year-old hit scooped her big winnings playing at Carlton Bingo in Dumbarton Road, Partick when she took part in the National Bingo Game.
"I like playing at the Carlton because there is a very good atmosphere and I've won prizes there quite a few times before, from £15 to £300," she said.
She bagged a cool £15,245, as well as the regional prize of £2,148 and the house prize of £68.
With her winnings she will pay-off her debts, make some home improvements and take her youngest son away on holiday.
For those who can't make it to the bingo hall, there is now a selection of online bingos sites where players can get their regular fix.
Virgin Bingo, Kiss My Bingo and Foxy Bingo all have regular games for members to take part in.
