50yr old mother wins £90K!
1st February, 2010
A lucky Gala bingo fan from Dartford’s dreams have all come true after winning over £90,000 from just a 5p stake!
The 50 year old single mother who’s known as ‘theberry’ on the site didn’t even realize she had won the ‘cash climber’ jackpot in the ‘sharon club’ as she was busy in the kitchen making a cup of coffee! The penny only dropped after receiving congratulatory messages from her bingo friends on the chat room!
‘Theberry’ said, “I was shocked! At first I thought it might be a practical joke from a friend who had somehow managed to set it up, so I called galabingo.com and they confirmed it was true.”
The huge win really couldn’t have come at a better time for ‘theberry’. She said, “I’ve had some bad luck last year, damaging my back, having my handbag stolen and crashing my car, so this is just amazing.”
She continued, “I think it has just about sunk in! We’ve had years of being careful, so I’ve just got the children a few treats – but I still haven’t spent much so far as we’re still working out what we want to do with our win. I have lots of things I want done in the house and am looking forward to a nice holiday as well. ”
Lesley Hall, online PR manager at Gala said: “We’re absolutely delighted for ‘theberry’ and her family – especially as she had such a bad run of luck in 2009. Hopefully by becoming one of our 500,000 monthly winners has helped 2010 get off to a really positive start.”
