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.

This twenty year old seems to have lady luck on her side as the first time she played bingo she won ₤220. Forget the luck of the Irish, it is definitely the Scots that have the luck, this has been proven by a study that was conducted to find the luckiest towns in the UK. She completed the full house in a really low number of calls, only thirty seven, and this is remarkable in itself. It appears that she was almost destined to win and do it well.

Emma says that she actually didn’t realize she had won so much money, she thought she had called for the house prize and thought to herself that she would put it away for a holiday. When they told her at the end of the session how much she had won, she couldn’t grasp the magnitude of it and her Gran just sat there shaking. I think I would shake too if I won that much money playing bingo.
