A female pensioner who wishes to remain anonymous was one of the luckiest winners during the Mecca Bingo, countrywide, £1 million giveaway in free bingo games. The Norwich Pensioner has been given the opportunity to completely change her life with the £150,000 bingo win.
The woman, who turns seventy in February, is a regular bingo player at the All Saints Green Mecca Bingo Club in Norwich, where the massive bingo win took place. She said that she plays sometimes up to six times per week, and this time she was playing with her daughter who is an occasional player. She will be sharing the prize money with her daughter in the true spirit of generosity that bingo players more often than not seem to display.
All Mecca Bingo clubs took part in the Mecca Millionaire bonanza, and they were offering two free bingo daily games each. Mecca Bingo players were given the chance to win £100,000 with one line, £150,000 with two lines and a whopping £264,288.50 for a full house.
Mecca Bingo, despite its struggle to keep its head above water due to discriminatory taxes and the smoking ban, have managed to make three new millionaires in the past four months. This is thanks to new laws that allow bingo operators to retain a share of the members stake in order to accumulate large jackpots for the winning pool.
