Is This the Luckiest Bingo ‘Haul’ in the North?

Big wins are something we see often in our line of work, but what we don’t see often is the same club winning big cash prizes over and over. Mecca Bingo in Stockton (the North East) is one of those rare examples and found themselves in the headlines this week after seeing yet another winner dabbing their way to £50,000!

Since the popular bingo club reopened on July 4^th, they’ve seen four winners call house on the National Bingo Game – that’s three winners each taking home £50,000 on top of the in-club full house prize! All in all, once the calculators were out, staff could reveal a total of £1.2 million had been won at that club in little over three months and £150K of that was from the popular linked up bingo game!

Lynne Butterworth, general manager at Mecca Stockton, said: "It's always a fantastic moment when someone calls house on the National Bingo Game, but to know that we are the first Mecca club to have had three of these wins is fantastic.We’re absolutely thrilled for all of our winners, and so proud to hold the title of Mecca's luckiest club."

Three Times the Luck

The first life-changing win came on August 3^rd, the second win was called on September 5^th and the last winner was on October 12^th and they all have one thing in common – they all managed to dab all ten numbers on their ticket within 16 calls! The hugely popular 50-ball bingo game can be purchased alongside the main event tickets (afternoon and evening) and each game guarantees there to be a winner at each club!

Alastair Stewart, business development manager at the National Bingo Game, added: "Mecca Stockton has achieved an incredible feat by celebrating three National Bingo Game £50,000 jackpots in just three months. It really is a fortunate club, and it just goes to show life-changing prizes can be frequently won at our clubs."

There are no line or two-line prizes just a full house and there are three fixed additional jackpots available alongside that in-house prize. The amount you can win on top of the stated prize will depend on how quick you call house;

• Call house within 24 numbers for a jackpot of £100
• Win a full house within 20 numbers for a jackpot of £1K
• A jackpot of £50,000 is awarded to full house prize winners who manage to call in 16 numbers or less!

The list of winners for the ‘link-up’ is substantial and we’ve seen daily winners produced and now multiple club winners – will you be next?
