A Drumchapel woman is now more than £20,000 richer as she won £19,145 on the National Bingo Game, £1,005 on the National Bingo Regional Prize and the magnificent sum of £125 for the house prize when playing bingo at the Gala Club in Graham Avenue, Clydebank.
A player in Blackpool also called the same game in the same amount of numbers so the prize had to be shared, although the amount was still not half bad, they both completed the game and called bingo on the 90 after forty-six calls.
Apparently the entire club jumped up and cheered her, clapping and making a huge fuss, but the poor dear did not yet realise just how much money she had won. She has been a member at the Gala Bingo club in Clydebank since it was opened and has been a very regular player, playing three to four times a week with one of her friends.
According to the manager of the club this lucky lady had a real hard time managing to play the late session, obviously she had bigger things on her mind and thinking about a prize of that size is enough to put anyone’s concentration off a little.
