A lucky bingo player has won the staggering £100,000 at Mecca Bingo Gateshead.
The player scooped the huge prize on the final night of National Bingo Week, during a special edition of the National Bingo Game, which saw clubs nationwide link up to play - the person who called “House” in the fewest number of calls would win double the usual jackpot.
The Gateshead regular did just that - shouting “House!” after just 19 calls, sparking a nail-biting few minutes as clubs across the country submitted their results… until bingo! Gateshead hit the hundred.
Oli Hobbs, the caller on the night shared: “Everyone started cheering and whooping, and the winner, who thought she’d won £1,000, burst into tears when I told her she’d actually won £100k. She was absolutely dumbfounded at such a big win on a £2 ticket.’’
