One lucky fifty eight year old bingo player from Wrexham is going to be sticking to her guns, and sharing her winnings with her sister after she won over ₤18 000 while playing bingo at the Mecca Club in Smithfield Road, Wrexham. She regularly plays with her sister and they have an agreement to share any bingo prizes they win. The lucky lady, who has not been named, said that this win has come at a very good time as it is her thirtieth wedding anniversary later on in June.
She won the National bingo prize which amounted to ₤15 710, a Regional prize of ₤2 069 and of course a house prize that amounted to ₤270. Not a bad scoop to come away with after having a fun night out at the bingo with your sister, is it? She called full house in forty five numbers, nothing remarkable here, and shared the prize that night with another winner who called in the same amount of numbers.
She said that she was delighted to have won, but it “shocked the life out of her sister.” The winner has two children and she has been a member at Mecca Bingo from when it first opened, where she plays once or twice a week. She is really delighted with the win as now she is going to splash out and plan a very special holiday with her husband to celebrate their wedding anniversary. She wants to plan a cruise around the Greek Islands!
