A lucky man is now over £60,000 richer after playing bingo at his local Gala Bingo club and hitting the jackpot on the national bingo game. He now plans to take a trip to Australia to visit his son with his winnings and this was only made possible for the 62 year old man, who comes from Bradford, due to winning such a large cash sum at Gala Bingo! 

The man has been a player at his local Gala Bingo club in Oasby Croft, Bradford since it opened and he is now going to be celebrating in style with his big bingo win. Josie Merrick is the assistant manager at Gala Bingo in Bradford, and she had this to say the national gaming body about this great jackpot bingo win at their bingo club.

“It was a great end to a great night! Other members had already had smaller wins earlier that evening, so to win the National at the end of the night was the icing on the cake. There was a great atmosphere, with everyone clapping and cheering him.”

It was completing the full house on the national bingo game in 43 numbers that one the man this big jackpot prize on this bingo game as this was the lowest full house cal throughout all the participating bingo clubs. The lucky man’s bingo winnings were made up like this as you get to win three times when you hit it big on the national bingo game. First he won the national jackpot prize that stood at £60,000 on the night, he also walked away with the regional prize of 1,943, plus Gala Bingo’s own in house prize of £80 and this gave him total winnings for a night out at bingo of a whopping £62,023! Not bad for a night out, hey!

Come the 1st of September Gala Bingo are withdrawing from the national bingo game, so this lucky man is going to be one of the last ever Gala Bingo winners to win this game. Gala Bingo will be introducing an enhanced version of their high 5 jackpot game, full details of which are set to be released nearer the launch date.
