After many years of playing bingo and trying to win a big prize, this Wakefield woman has done just that. She was playing the Afternoon Delight game at the Mecca Bingo Club in the Westgate Retail Park, Wakefield, with her husband, when good fortune decided to smile down upon her. She won the National prize of £9,280 the Regional prize of £1,160 and the house prize of £35 which means she went home richer by £10,475. Its nice to be lucky isn’t it?
The woman, who has four children and four grandchildren has been a member of the same Mecca Bingo Club for ten years and plays as often as three times per week but has never won anything approximating this amount, her husband was absolutely amazed by her good fortune, he also plays with her at the Mecca club as do other members of her family.
She said that she is going to save some of the money but that she did want to treat her children, so she would buy them some new clothes and use part of the windfall to finance her holiday this year, in the form of spending money. She also had to add that the win had made her extremely happy, especially when she found out just how much she had won.
