The National Bingo Game is the jackpot we all want to win. I’ve been trying to win this one for what seems an eternity! You’re either lucky or you’re not – you buy your tickets and hope to get lucky with the bingo calls. And this was exactly how it went for one lucky bingo player in Leeds recently.
The winner, who asked to remain anonymous, decided at the last minute to go play bingo on her own, something which was out of the ordinary for the medical worker from Leeds.
Over the last 20-years, the winner has attended Mecca Bingo on a regular basis with her family, but on this occasion, her spontaneous decision would literally change her life. Calling house on The National Bingo Game resulted in her successfully claiming the jackpot of £50K – plus the in-house full house prize!
The Secret to Winning
But how did she do it? It’s all in the numbers but if you’re a regular player…
…you should already know the answer to this one! Whether you’re playing at Mecca Bingo, Buzz Bingo or Castle Bingo, your package will come with the national jackpot linked-up game. Each club will sit at the same time for the game with an in-house full house prize for each club.
If you can call house within 24 numbers or less, you win an additional £100, 20 numbers or less you win an additional £1K or 16 numbers of less for an extra £50K! It’s important to note that despite being a linked-up game, each club has its own prizes, so you’ll never share a prize with another club.
Money Talks
Speaking to local media on her win, she said: “I was so overwhelmed when I realised I had won the jackpot, the atmosphere in club was like everyone had won! I’ve been playing at the club forever, but this is the first time I have ever won a large cash prize, I can hardly believe it!”
The jackpot-winning mother had plans to pay off her upcoming holiday to celebrate her silver wedding anniversary, although I suspect the Coronavirus will have an impact on this. She also planned to treat herself with home improvements and revealed she would be giving some cash to her three children too.
Tim Stobart, general manager at Mecca Leeds Mayfair, said: “It’s such a fantastic moment when someone calls house on the National Bingo Game. We’re absolutely thrilled for the winner, £50,000 is an incredible prize amount. The atmosphere in club was brilliant, it’s a pleasure to see someone win big – we’re delighted.”
Alastair Stewart, business development manager at The National Bingo Game, said: “We are thrilled for our lucky National Bingo Game £50,000 winner at Mecca Leeds Mayfair and hope that she enjoys her winnings and holiday. It just goes to show that you can win big at bingo.”
