Every once in a while, I pick up my local newspaper or happen across an article shared on social media sharing news of someone’s recent big win on the bingo.
Its excellent to see normal folk, like you and me bagging a tidy sum from the beautiful game. Everyone loves to read a good news story and when someone wins on the bingo, you know its purely down to their good luck which again sits really comfortably in peoples hearts.
Then to top that, you read what they are going to do with their winnings and it simply puts a big smile on your face.
Following the year we have all had, pandemic etc. and the tough times everyone has been going through, to hear about big wins and the bingo world coming back to life is really important.
Lets see who has been winning over the last few weeks on the National Bingo Game and other in house jackpots.
In case you are not aware of the National Bingo Game, all bingo halls can participate if they wish, with games playing twice a day every day (except Christmas Day). You only play for full house and the winnings are as follows:
- Full House in 24 Calls or less and win £100 Jackpot
- Full House in 20 Calls or less and win £1,000 Jackpot
- Full House in 16 Calls or less and win £50,000 Jackpot
National Bingo Game Tickets cost £1 for 2 tickets OR £2 for 5 tickets.
