By Sarah Smithon Thursday, 27 Dec 2007 Christmas Eve turned out to be a whole lot better than the big day itself for one bingo player.
The lucky lady from Blythe was celebrating Christmas early when she bagged £45,000 at the Mecca Bingo club in Post Office Square.
She has been playing bingo for over five years and has been a member of the Mecca Bingo club for three years.
The 41-year-old woman works in the care sector and is married with one daughter.
She told the National Bingo: "The reaction in the club was fantastic and everyone was clapping me…I just sat there in a state of shock.'
Her luck came in when playing the National Bingo Game, after completing full house in an amazing 39 balls.
Due to the speed in which she completed full house the lady, who wishes to remain anonymous, scooped the entire prize, which players all around the UK were also vying for.
She was playing at the club with her mother-in-law when her numbers came up and plans to spend the winnings on a luxury holiday.
