A milestone birthday became unforgettable for Tracey Evans, who scooped a £20,000 jackpot on her 60th birthday at Mecca Bingo Crewe earlier this month.
Tracey, from Crewe, had chosen to mark the occasion on Friday, 5th September by visiting the Dunwoody Way club with her father and sister. The night began brightly when her sister landed a couple of small wins, but the atmosphere reached new heights during Mecca’s Mega Money Live game – a cross-channel link-up that unites club and online bingo players.
Tracey explained she was stunned when her numbers came in:
“I couldn’t believe it – it was all such a blur. My mum passed away last year, and I looked up and thought, ‘Thank you for my birthday present, Mum’.”
She added that bingo is a family tradition:
“We take him [our dad] along now and then – it’s such a lovely way to spend time together. So we thought, why not go for my birthday? Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I’d walk out with the full house prize!”
Splitting the Prize Money
Playing on one of Mecca’s digital tablets, Tracey casually mentioned to her sister that she was just one number away from a full house – moments later, the jackpot was hers.
Despite the excitement, Tracey admitted she was so shocked her sister had to alert the Mecca staff. She added:
“My sister and I have always shared our winnings – though we’ve never won this big and she’s usually the lucky one! This time it was my turn! Of course, I’ll be splitting the prize money with her, and as for my share… I’ve just been spoiled and pampered for my 60th, so I’ve no idea how I’ll spend it yet!”
Louise Bailey, duty manager at Mecca Bingo Crewe, described the reaction in the club:
“The atmosphere in the club was electric. We’d already announced that it was Tracey’s birthday, so when her numbers came in and she landed the full house, there was a second wave of celebrations and the whole place erupted. She was in complete shock – I don’t think it sank in at first just how much she’d actually won! The Mega Money Live game was being called live from our Hull club, but the big win came home to Crewe – and we couldn’t have been more thrilled to celebrate it with her.”
Launched in 2025, Mega Money Live has quickly become one of Mecca’s most popular bingo events, with live games linked from clubs across the UK and streamed nationwide.
The next game is scheduled for Friday, 3rd October.
