A LUCKY bingo player and mum of two is spending her summer in style after scooping a massive £50,000 jackpot at Mecca Bingo St Helens.

The winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, struck gold while playing the National Bingo Game on Friday 5th July at Mecca’s venue on Kirkland Street.

The National Game sees bingo clubs across the country join up to play. The fabulous £50k national jackpot is triggered when a player matches all the numbers on their ticket and claims ‘house’ within the first 16 numbers being called.

Having never experienced a big win before, the player was overwhelmed with the huge jackpot prize. To celebrate, the generous mum is sharing her winnings with the friends and family she was with on the night.

Luck must be in the air this summer, as the victory at St Helens is one of four incredible jackpot wins that have occurred at Mecca Bingo venues in July. Three other players at Mecca’s Knotty Ash, Blackpool, and Wakefield clubs also secured the massive £50,000 jackpot on the National Game.

Lisa Mogan, the bingo caller on the night at Mecca Bingo St Helens, said: ‘’When I heard the claim and saw the 16 flashing numbers on my screen, I was gobsmacked!

"The player’s reaction was priceless - she was in complete shock, and I couldn’t believe it either!

"As the realisation sunk in across the venue, everyone was clapping and cheering. It was my first time witnessing a £50K jackpot win, and I can’t wait to see the next one!’’
