She was with her daughter a the Hollywood Park bingo hall when the lucky winner realised that all her numbers were coming out and that she had won. They turned to each in disbelief when it was announced the jackpot was worth £50,000. The Lucky winner said: “It was unreal. Time stood still as we both looked at each other and seemed to be silently saying ‘did you hear what I think I just did?’ It hasn’t sunk in yet really. “It doesn’t matter who you are, whether you have gone to bingo for the first time or whether you’ve been playing for years, you always have a chance to win.”

Bingo jackpot winner Jade Gorthy scooped the £50,000 top prize.
A Dundee woman has netted £50,000 after beating Mecca Bingo players from across the UK to win the national prize.
Jade Gorthy was enjoying an evening out at Mecca Bingo Dundee Douglasfield when she suddenly realised all her numbers had come up on the biggest game in the UK.
And her call of “house”, ahead of thousands of other players across the UK, meant she had won the jackpot.
The 27-year-old support worker, who has been playing at Mecca Bingo for nearly 10 years, decided to pop in for an evening of bingo with her partner and two friends just as the restrictions lifted and the club reopened.
