Bingo Player Pleasantly Surprised with Bingo Win Amount
Thursday, January 8th, 2009 | Bingo News
A bingo player from Workington has won a prize of £5,682.88 although even after leaving the bingo hall she thought she had only won £110.16. It came as a pleasant surprise to the woman (who remains nameless) when she found out from the club manager the next day that her win was much bigger.
The woman had thought she had won just the club prize at the Workington Opera Bingo Club of £110.88 but she didn’t stay to find out she had won a £5,572 share of the national game prize as well.
The woman is the third big winner from bingo halls in Cumbria in the past few weeks. One lucky player won over £22,000 on the national game at the Penrith Opera Bingo Club. Another lucky player, playing at the Whitehaven Opera Bingo Club also recently won a share of the national game prize, this time it was worth £12,500 and with her other bonuses she won £15,875.
Cumbria certainly seems to be a lucky bingo town as another woman scooped a prize of £33,000 also playing bingo at the Whitehaven Opera Bingo Club.
