After winning the National Bingo Platinum jackpot prize play off recently, a Coventry grandmother says that her and her husband got no sleep after learning just how much she had won, and they still can’t grasp the magnitude of what has happened to them.
The woman who wishes to remain anonymous plans to use her more than ₤578 000 winnings wisely, but she will be sharing half of it with her younger sister who she plays bingo with. The woman is due to celebrate her sixty fifth birthday in August so this win could not have come at a better time to celebrate this milestone birthday.
She has played at the same bingo club ever since she first started playing and completed the full house to win in forty two calls. She said that she has remained loyal to the club since she first started playing in her twenties, even though there have been several changes of ownership over the time span that she has been a member.
Her sister is going to use her share of the money to pay off her mortgage, while the winner will be using her share of the money to invest and make sure her and her husband’s retirement is taken care of, have a holiday and see to it that they have given some money to their children and grandchildren. She views this bingo win as a once in a lifetime opportunity, and she is absolutely correct in this assumption.
