Outrageous Bingo Stories

Yeah I'm sure they staked out the place before robbing it. Could you imagine if someone would've been hurt? All that for 5 grand. Pathetic!

Must have been really scary.

I wonder if they carried on calling the numbers!

In Wales, a drunk man passed out and awoke to find himself locked up inside of a bingo hall.

Cleaners let him out in the morning when they arrived and found that he had been trying to break into a sweet dispenser. He faced burglary charges for having a sweet tooth but the court dropped the case since he admitted to stealing the sweets and caused damage to the dispenser. The police even went so far as to locate his finger prints on the candy machine. LOL

What a way to wake up!

They obvously did a thorough search before locking up then....NOT.  Great story Froggy.

:D How could they leave a person locked in?! The story is kind of funny.

I chuckled too on this one. There must not be much crime in that  city if police are dusting candy machines for prints LOL

Omg that is too funny. Too bad he didn't go all out and stand on stage as the bingo caller or fix himself a couple brewskis and have a real bang up time inside!

I have always thought it would be fun to get locked in a big department store overnight and try on all the clothes, roam through each department and play with everything!

A woman recently won £50,000 at a Mecca Bingo hall and shared it with her friend. They split it right down the middle £25K each. The pair always agree to split their winnings no matter how big or how small.

Would you split a win of that size? For me it would depend on who it was. If it was just a bingo buddy that I saw once a week there's no way!

I think it was a pretty cool thing to do I would share it with someone if they were very close friend of mine.

Only with a very close friend and in case we had such deal - to share all our winnings. :)

They had a deal, I'm sure I'd do the same thing if I had such an agreement with one of my friends.

Still a nice thing to do though, money can break friendships, especially big amounts.

I would honor the agreement if I made one, yet I cannot say I would ever make such agreement  in the first place :D

Also, 50.000 is a huge amount of money but its not something I would call a life changing sum so its certainly not worth loosing a good friend for 25.000. If the prize was 500.000 however, I'm not sure I would part with 250.000 so easily and I honestly believe a very small number of people would.

OMG $250K could be a deal breaker! LOL I woulda turned to her and said sorry.

A real friend would say "here's your $250K, you won it". :D

If it was a very good life long friend, no matter what the prize, if I said I would share, then so be it; I would share.
