All Jackpot to himself

Last week the winner of Sun Bingo jackpot became the first one to keep the whole amount of the jackpot without sharing.
22-year old Daniel Lawlor was in a state of extreme surprise when that happened. "I'm in a little bit of shock," he stated yesterday after the news finally reached him.
It is not surprising he was feeling like this; as he received a huge prize of $10,000 in one go.
This has been the one of a kind win so far as since the Sun Bingo contest began, the winners would always share the prize. In weeks one and three of the contest two winners split the bounty, followed by four and five winners in weeks two and four.
Lawlor found out about his win through the Sun newspaper, where he saw the both lucky numbers that made him $10,000 richer in an instant.
He went to the Edmonton Sun offices where he waited to be announced the sole winner of the jackpot. "I just started smiling," said the lucky man.
Lawlor has been playing bingo for three years now but never expected to be such a big winner. He is planning to use some of the cash to cover his bills, use some to party, but the biggest share of the winnings he is planning to invest into his future, i.e. put the money in the bank so that later on he would be able to afford his own house.
