Lisa Potter (33) from Witney, Oxfordshire won the amazing prize of GBP 1,364,745 million in a Ladbrokes internet bingo game last week.
According to the Ladbrokes spokesperson, the young mother of three hit the third largest win in the history of the game and the biggest payout on a similar game in over three years by simply placing the GBP 5 bet.
Lisa said she went online to have a break from the Euro 2012 football championship and the advertised jackpot amount attracted her attention.
“I had a spare minute and wanted to get away from the football so I decided to log on. As soon as I saw the size of the jackpot I thought it was worth a go and I couldn't believe my eyes when it said that I'd won. I can't remember much after. It's all a blur. My kids came into the room and we all started screaming. It's like a madhouse in here," she described.
Alex Donohue from Ladbrokes Bingo commented on Lisa's win: “We're absolutely over the moon for her. It's one of the biggest wins of all time and we've sent the champers along to kick off the celebrations. We bet she'll never moan at her man for watching the footie ever again.”
“We're a normal family so this will change my life forever,” she said, adding that the family plans to spend money on a luxury holiday, a new house and car.
It is worth mentioning that Ladbrokes reports a 400 percent increase in women playing online bingo during Euro 2012 matches.
