Gala player wins £330,000
12th December, 2008
What a great time to win a jackpot! £330,000 was won by a 45 year old, who would rather not be named, at her local Gala Bingo Club in Sheffield. All 110 players won £1,500 as the hall erupted into a frenzy!
The 45 year old winner won a new game called high 5, where by if a player wins a full house on the number 5 they win 50% of the roll over jackpot! What a great game and prize! The remaining 50% was then shared out amongst the other 110 players who each took home just over £1,500. This jackpot win by players was just in time for Christmas and resulted in a ecstatic bingo hall!
The woman, who won the main Jackpot sum said,
"It's a wonderful feeling! The club was in uproar. Everyone was thanking me and there were some lovely personal stories. A lady came up to me and said: 'You've really made my Christmas' - that just says it all. I'm still in shock."
Deputy manager at Gala Bingo, Russell Coggan, added: "It was amazing! Everyone was really charged up. 110 customers in the local area picked up £1,503 just before Christmas and, especially with times being what they are, it really means something to people."
Well done to all those players who won a share of the winnings and of course the Jackpot lady herself!
