Mecca Bingo Gives a Lucky Teenager £90,000
17th January, 2008
A 19-year-old female from Leeds, who preferred to stay anonymous, had a very lucky day this Sunday gone, as in a matter of minutes she managed to scoop £90,000 from Mecca Bingo Club in Balm Road, Hunslet.
When she was asked about her intentions of spending the money, she said she is going to share the winning with her dad and uncle. Both her dad and her uncle were at the Mecca Bingo Hall with her that Sunday.
She completed a full house in 31 numbers and set a new record, which means her result was the best out of 470 Bingo halls across England.
She started playing bingo game in May last year and has been going religiously once a week together with her dad. She admitted to getting occasional luck with small wins, but never as big as this one.
This is what the lucky girl said straight after she got the news: "I was absolutely shocked when they told me how much I had won. I just felt like crying."
