By Becky Turner on Friday, 12 May 2006 A woman who won over £100,000 at the bingo has vowed to be generous and share the winnings with her two bingo-playing friends.
The 48-year-old factory worker from Aldershot, who wishes to remain unnamed, easily topped her previous biggest win, £500 three years ago, when she won the jackpot on the National Bingo Game back in March after getting a full house inside 40 minutes.
However, she has vowed not to let her success get to her head and has instead promised to split the winnings three ways with her two companions on that night at the town's Gala Bingo Club.
She said: "I play bingo once a week, but not usually on a Wednesday.
"My friend said her daughter, who is 21 and a student, wanted to go, so we went. That must have been fate."
As well as the National Game jackpot, she also won the regional prize of £1,108 and then bolstered it with a further £55 from the club prize, taking her total winnings to £101,163.
She plans to spend her share on treating both her parents and her grown-up children, as well as putting a little bit aside for her and her 51-year-old husband to have in the future.
