Bingo Player “On Cloud Nine”

by Hollie Sanders

Playing bingo at Walkers Club in Mansfield Leisure Park, turned into a local woman’s lucky day. Sue Heath is a business centre manager who hails from Mansfield Woodhouse, the fifty-five year old has only been playing bingo for eighteen months, but this is much more than beginners luck, she won more than ₤36,000. She has been playing together with her sister-in-law since hearing about a local woman who won ₤100,000.

Obviously this has worked out for them as when they were playing with two other friends they won the National Bingo Game of ₤34,150, a regional prize of ₤2,139 and the house prize of ₤50. Sue completed the winning full house in forty-six calls and she is sticking to the agreement she made with her sister-in-law and the friends they were playing with to share the prize money.

Sue said that they have always share any bingo prize money, but to date their largest win had been for ₤300. Sue who is married and has one son and a granddaughter, has no idea yet what she will be using her share of the bingo prize money for. She just said that she was still on could nine about the win.
