Tagged as: Mecca Bingo | by Hollie Sanders

A South-east London Grandmother, from Mottingham is busily making plans to travel to France to visit her daughter; luckily she can now afford to do this after having won more than ₤34,000 while playing bingo.

The seventy-two year old woman said that she never expected to win that amount of money, never in a million years! She apparently couldn’t stop crying when she found out how much she had won. Her prize consisted of ₤32,800 on the National Bingo Game, ₤2,061 on the Regional game and a house prize of ₤115.

The lucky lady was playing bingo at the Mecca Bingo Club, Eltham Hill and completed her full house in just 39 calls. She joined the Mecca Eltham Bingo Club when it opened, but has been playing bingo since 1971. Not only is this septuagenarian an active bingo player, she is also married and has a part time job as a clerical worker; she has four children and seven grandchildren, so leads a very active life.

She says that this marvelous win is going to change her life, now she has the money to say `Yes, I can have this, or yes I can do that,’ without having to think too much about it, she said that this is a lovely feeling and can’t thank bingo enough for it. Not only is she going to be using the money to visit her daughter in France, she going to buy a new 3 piece suite and treat her family.
