By Becky Turner on Tuesday, 1 Aug 2006 A 62-year-old woman's dream came true when she won £27,000 at the Riva bingo club in Aberdeen.
The woman has been a member of the Queens Link Leisure Park club since it opened and has been playing bingo for more than three decades, the National Bingo Game Association reports.
Her family have helped her financially with her bingo playing and now they stand to be rewarded handsomely as the woman has promised to share her new motor home with her two children, five grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
"I couldn't believe it when I realised I had won," she exclaimed.
She bought the motor home the day after she won the jackpot and aims to speed off on family hols.
"As my husband and I are both retired, we can now go on holiday whenever we want without worrying about the cost," she said. "And even better, we can take our pet Yorkshire terrier with us!"
