A lucky player at Croydon’s Mecca Bingo won a stunning £50,000 jackpot recently, leaving everyone amazed.
Croydon: A regular player at Mecca Bingo hit the jackpot. She won £50,000 on January 17 at the Centrale shopping centre. The winner prefers to stay anonymous.
The jackpot happens when a player matches all numbers on their ticket. They must call ‘house’ within the first 16 numbers drawn.
Altex Gibson, a bingo caller for 20 years, shared the excitement. He loves Fridays, the busiest night at the hall. He was thrilled to announce the winner.
She played on an electronic tablet. When she hit the ‘claim button,’ she didn’t realize she won on the 15th call. Initially, she was happy with a smaller prize.
When Altex told her about the £50,000 jackpot, she was in shock. He mentioned it’s the third time he’s delivered such news. Even after 20 years, it feels amazing to see someone win big.
When someone wins, they celebrate with champagne, cheers, and applause. The National Bingo Game is popular across the UK, offering big prizes daily.
It runs twice a day, every day, at all Mecca Clubs in the UK and Northern Ireland.
