Gosforth Gran Retires After £450,000 Bingo Win
A grandmother from Gosforth has won almost half a million Pounds on the National Bingo Game’s Platinum Jackpot play-off.
“This will make such a difference to me, it has changed my life already,” said the 61-year-old part time worker who is now going to retire. “I am sharing with my daughter and we both screamed and cried when they told us how much we had won.”
She was playing Bingo at the Gala Club in the Metro Centre in Gateshead with her daughter on Sunday evening when she won a total of £451,806 by completing a full house in 44 numbers.
The big win was made up of the Platinum Jackpot prize of more than £400,000, the Sunday National Bingo Game prize of £40,000; the Zone prize of over £3,000, the Club prize of almost £2,800 and the £500 house prize.
“I was more than happy with the £3,267 cash they handed me on the night for the club and house prizes. I didn’t know about the Platinum Game yet. It is just great, absolutely unbelievable,” the lucky lady added.
Apart from retiring, she will treat her family, take a holiday or two and pay off her mortgage.
Don’t forget: The next Platinum Jackpot play–off will be on Sunday 25 May.
