Bingo Winner, Gob-smacked

by Hollie Sanders

A fifty year old woman from Welwyn Garden City was absolutely gob-smacked when she heard that she had won over ₤32 000 whilst playing bingo. The lucky winner was playing at the Gala Bingo Club in Shenly Road, Borehamwood at the time and won the National prize of ₤30 250, the Regional prize of ₤2 530 and the house prize of ₤150, when she completed a full house on just forty calls.

She says that she was absolutely stunned by the bingo win and sat there in a daze whilst all the other players in the club were clapping and congratulating her. She ahs been playing bingo for the past ten years and has been a member at this Gala club for two years.

The lucky lady is a Mother to four children and the Grandmother to two and she plays with her daughter, who was with her the night she won, she plays twice a week. She is planning to use her winnings to take her entire family to Fuerteventura and she wants to buy a brand new car as she has never owned one before. Other than that, she doesn’t know what she is going to do with the rest of the prize money. She added that the kids were probably cooking up all sorts of ways to spend the money.
