My first bingo win was good and bad

The first time i won bingo was many years ago before internet bingo was around. Me and my mother played at our church and i won the special game at halftime. I was a young mom then and my daughter was three years old at the time. It was a $650 coverall and never did i win that kind of money before. I couldn't hardly wait to get home to tell my hubby and already knew i would spend it all on my daughter for Christmas and it was late October when i won. I came home and the house was empty. My gut told me something was wrong. It was late around 10 at night when i got there and he and my daughter were gone. There was no cell phones back then to call him and i was shaking because something was not right.

Just then my mom called and said my dad was not home either. Terrible things were going through my head. Could it be my dad is in the hospital or my daughter. My phone rang and it was my hubby saying our daughter fell and cut her a big gash in the back of her head. I cried so hard as i was driving to hospital. When i arrived at ER there was blood all over her little pj's with the feet. She needed ten stitches and thankful she was ok. It was a good night and a bad night all together.

im sorry that, that good night turned bad for you, and i am happy she was ok and happy you won that $650 too

my biggest win was on a slot in a real life arcade in the uk, on a 500 machine, i had this feeling to put 2 pound in and did 50p a spin and on the second spin i got the full screen of 7's and got 250, if i was on the £1 spin would have been 500, but it was my biggest and best i have ever won and that wasnt online, i hope i can beat that one day online

gl to you bonkers :)

Oh my goodness Bonkers.. you must have been half crazed, and what a story to tell.. i'm hoping everything is all right and that wound has healed and been forgotten, God Bless her..10 stitches and a huge Bingo win, Oh what a night!

You got slammed with the good, bad and ugly all in one nite. I am sure you spoiled her even more after you got your daughter home safe and sound. Life can certainly throw us some curve balls. The most important thing is everyone is fine now. You never said if your dad was in all this. Was he ok?

That's a bittersweet win. Thanks for sharing such a personal story of your first win. Glad it didn't taint Bingo for you and you're bonkers for it now  :)

I remember one of my first wins taking place in little bingo hall back in the USA. Back then the smokers sat in a room separated by glass. I love a ciggy but my goodness, my eyes were bloodshot from all the smoke in the room. I strained to see my bingo card but I managed to pull off a win of something like $20. Ah good times.

Oh bonkers I am so glad that it all came right in the end. How scary! Glad it didn't put you off Bingo for good!

My first bingo win was good and bad too... Good that I won. Bad that it was only $5. Worse I was splitting any wins with my mother and had to give her $2.50 LOL LOL LOL
