By Sarah Smithon Monday, 22 Oct 2007 An Essex pensioner has won £100,000 playing the bingo.
The lucky lady hit the jackpot playing at a bingo hall in Lowestoft whilst staying at a nearby caravan park.
Before realising that she had won big money, the 72-year-old from Manningtree was already celebrating scooping the house prize of £176.
She told the East Anglian Daily Times: "I was over the moon when I thought I had just won the house prize. It was such a shock when I realised I had won the national too a lovely shock though."
Another pensioner was celebrating this week after bagging a cool £20,000 playing the National Bingo's Afternoon Delight game.
The 75-year-old from Colne was playing at the Gala Bingo club in Centenary Way, Burnley when she made her big win.
Players who fancy their own chances on the bingo can have a go online at Foxy Bingo, Champagne Bingo or Kiss My Bingo, to name a few.
