A 62 year old man who lives in Bradford has just become 60,000 pounds richer as he won local bingo at his Gala Bingo club and also the jackpot on the national bingo game. He plans to travel to Australia to meet his son with the winning amount.
The winner has been playing bingo at his local Gala Bingo club in Oasby Croft, Bradford since it opened. Josie Merrick, the assistant manager at the Gala Bingo in Bradford, said this to the national gaming body after the win: “It was a great way to end a night. Other members had already had smaller wins earlier that evening, so to win the National at the end of the night was the icing on the cake. There was a great atmosphere, with everyone clapping and cheering him.”
The winner won the large prize after he had completed the full house on the national bingo game in 43 numbers. This was the lowest full house call throughout all the participating bingo clubs. The national jackpot prize that stood at 60,000 pounds on the night, but he also walked away with the regional prize of 1,943 pounds, plus Gala Bingo’s own in house prize of 80 pounds bringing his total winnings for the night at bingo to a whopping 62,023 pounds.
Gala Bingo are withdrawing from the national bingo game, from the 1st of September. The winner might be one of the last ever Gala Bingo winners to win this game.
Congratulations to the lucky winner of the bingo jackpot!
