By Becky Turner on Friday, 8 Sep 2006 A 90-year-old Worthing woman scooped more than £100,000 in a bingo jackpot at the town's Gala Club.
The woman, a widow who has not been named, plays bingo every day at the club in Rowlands Road with her 79-year-old friend. Now she will split her £101,000 winnings with her friend to uphold an agreement between the pair, the National Bingo Game Association reports.
She has been playing bingo for nearly 50 years and has attended the club for 14 years with her friend.
"She's a wonderful friend," she said. "She is very caring and always looks after me. We also love playing bingo together." Both her and her friend are "over the moon", she said, adding that she hasn't been able to sleep properly since she won.
Next comes the question of what to do with such a large amount of money. The woman is considering buying a new carpet and taking her friend on holiday.
Her family also stand to benefit. She has four children, seven grandchildren and six great grandchildren.
