She won her first bingo jackpot on Christmas earning a £31,000 win. Within days, she decided to give it another go and played £10 on the Bouncing Balls bingo game. Her screen lit up and she was now the winner of the progressive jackpot.
She thought she had won something like £500 but in reality she was now £250,000 richer.
"I had already had an amazing run and was chuffed to pieces," she said. "I then saw the £500 and was over the moon but slowly it dawned on me that I may have landed the big jackpot. It must have only been seconds in real time but it felt like hours until it was confirmed. I've barely slept since."
With regard to what she will do with her winnings, the unknown bingo player had this to say: "First things first, I'd like to buy a new house. I'll then round up all my children and grandchildren and go on holiday straight away - but I'm not worried about the weather so we'll just go down the road to Haven!"
