A regular at the Mecca Bingo on Aylsham Road in Norwich will have a summer to remember after pocketing a cool £38,000 playing the Big Bonus game last month.
The local lady who wishes to remain anonymous scooped the life-changing amount playing on the big bonus game for just £1. The round is played six times daily, and the jackpot rolls over until it is won.
The lucky dabber could not believe her luck. Despite playing bingo for years, she had never won an amount so big.
Biggest Jackpot at the Club For Years
Michelle Buller, the club’s duty manager, told the local press:, “The winner was so shocked that we made her a cup of tea to help her calm down.
“Once the news sank in, she was so happy. She really couldn’t believe how much she’d won and kept saying ‘pinch me’.
“Making winners is such a lovely part of the job, we’re just overjoyed for her.
“All of our clubs link up to play Big Bonus and at first everyone thought that the winner had won our local full house prize of nearly £1,600.
“Then the caller announced that because they’d completed their ticket in under 41 calls they’d also triggered the national jackpot, which had built up to over £36,400.”
The caller at the time Julie Milton recalled that the whole club began cheering at the news.
“When I saw the sum come up on my screen I shouted and the whole club started clapping and cheering,” she said.
“I’ve been the Saturday caller here for three years and it’s the biggest jackpot I’ve given away.
“I was just so excited and happy for our winner.”
