she had actually struck a huge payout of \u00a3221,000<\/a>. The retired nurse was bowled over by the massive win, and by that time had already turned to the fruit machines and seen the reels fall in line to provide her with the extra \u00a3300 payout.<\/p>\nUtilising her winnings the way she wanted, Jean proceeded with purchasing a new car for herself.<\/p>\n
How did she manage to secure the \u00a3221K reward? Well, she called out \u201chouse\u201d after just 40 numbers had been drawn. At the same time though, she had a \u201clucky star\u201d in play, which saw her winnings bolstered via the national jackpot that is linked to Mecca bingo halls across the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n
\u201cI go to the bingo at least twice a week with friends\u201d, said Jean. \u201cBut the day I won; I was on my own. The most I\u2019ve ever won over the years is about \u00a3500 so all my pals at the bingo are delighted for me\u201d.<\/p>\n
Mystery Grandma Beats COVID-19 Scoring \u00a350,000<\/h2>\n
In what could be seen as a double whammy, one lucky grandma managed to successfully battle the recent coronavirus pandemic and then go on to secure herself a huge bingo win. The mystery winner, who remains anonymous due to playing online and not wanting her details shared, then proceeded to have a double celebration as a result.<\/p>\n
The victor may not be considered old in comparison to the others in this list, as she is only in her 50s, and goes by the name of Sweet_Cucumber online. With her winnings, she set out looking to have her kitchen and living room redecorated and redesigned. Yet her first priority was to spoil her family and friends before putting any remaining money into the bank for a rainy day.<\/p>\n
The player\u2019s win came after she placed an 18p bet on the Premier Bingo Jackpot online via the Mecca website. The \u00a350,000 payout serves as her sixth huge win in the past four years! Speaking to the Mecca Winners Hub, she said, \u201cI\u2019ve had all the luck, I can\u2019t believe it\u201d.<\/p>\n
To show what a caring person she is, the winner went on to spend \u00a3100 in Tesco on nappies, wipes and baby food to give to charities that help families in need. Now that\u2019s certainly a way to celebrate after defeating COVID-19 at the beginning of 2021!<\/p>\n
Glasgow Pensioner Wins \u00a350,000 Bingo Jackpot<\/h2>\n
Imagine being a visitor to a Mecca Bingo establishment for over 10 years and then winning a huge \u00a350,000 payout. That is exactly what happened to one lucky Glasgow pensioner, who was \u201cgobsmacked\u201d when his numbers came up and he shouted \u201chouse\u201d to secure his win. What makes this story even more exciting is that his victory came less than 24 hours after the bingo hall had re-opened in 2020 following the COVID-19 lockdowns in Scotland.<\/p>\n
The 71-year-old, who wished to remain anonymous, said that he was shocked when he scooped the massive \u00a350K payout from the Mecca Glasgow Forge hall. Playing the National Bingo Game, he managed to bag the big prize and then planned to treat his wife as a way of celebrating the victory.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was so happy when I realised I had won, it was very unexpected but absolutely brilliant\u201d, said the pensioner. \u201cI have a lot of friends at the club after playing for 10 years, so I had so many people to celebrate with as I usually go to Mecca alone. I had only ever won \u00a3700 before this!\u201d.<\/p>\n
