A thirty six year old mother of two from Dorchester, who works as a part time cleaner, was in a state of shock after she picked up a win of £15,000 as well as the house prize of £30, so she went home that night £15,030 richer than when she arrived at the bingo club for the start of a fun evening with a friend.
The young woman was playing at the Gala Bingo Club, Crescent Street, Weymouth when she received her big win, she began to play bingo about a year ago, after she went with a friend and enjoyed the game so much that she too became a member of the Gala Bingo club.
She called the full house on forty-one numbers and won the National Bingo Prize. That night the National Prize was actually for £45,000, but two other players, one in Woking and one in Bournemouth also called house on 41 numbers so the prize was shared between the three winners.
She said that her shock was such that she just sat there with her head in her hands, but it was a very nice surprise and now she is really happy that she joined the bingo club. The money is going to be used to treat her family to a holiday, and to pay to have an extension built on her home.
