24th August, 2007
Joan Jackson, a senior nurse at at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff, hit the jackpot of £100,000 on a Bingo night out she had organised for a colleague.
Ms Jackson's colleague was due to take maternity leave and the night was a celebration of this, but it was Ms Jackson who ended up celebrating the most at her local Bingo hall:
"When I realised I had won, I had to keep calm or I'd have a heart attack," she told the South Wales Echo.
"All my nursing skills came to the fore and I kept myself cool, calm and collected."
