A lucky player at Southend’s Mecca Bingo won a whopping £50,000 jackpot, leaving everyone in shock and celebration
Southend: It was an exciting night at Mecca Bingo when a player hit the £50,000 jackpot. Sammi Gerrard, the duty manager, was filling in for the regular caller.
The lucky winner, who wants to stay anonymous, was playing the National Bingo Game at the club on Greyhound Trading Park. They’re a familiar face there.
To win the jackpot, you need to match all your numbers and call ‘house’ within the first 16 numbers. It’s a big deal!
Sammi shared how amazed she was when she called the fifteenth number and heard the full house claim. Everyone thought it was a mistake at first!
Once it was confirmed, the place erupted in applause, and customers lined up to congratulate the winner. Sammi, who’s been with Mecca for 17 years, said it’s the best feeling ever.
She described the winner’s reaction as pure disbelief. They looked completely shocked! Alex Cook, the general manager, chimed in, saying it’s the biggest win they’ve ever had.
He also mentioned that this lucky win is part of a lucky streak, with six players hitting the £50,000 jackpot in just 17 days. What a time to be playing!
