The National Bingo Game has just produced another millionaire bingo winner within only eight weeks of the last £1.1 million bingo win, which was won by Christine Bradfield from Merthyr Tydfil. 

Christine’s huge bingo win was thought to be the biggest bingo win anywhere in the world, but it now looks like Soraya Lowell, who is a mother of four children has just topped that by winning £1.2 million on the National Bingo Games Platinum Jackpot on Sunday night!

Mrs. Lowell was playing at the Club 3000 bingo club when she had this amazing jackpot win. Soraya called house on the Platinum Jackpot game on number (90), which is the number needed to win this jackpot prize. The Club 3000 bingo hall erupted in applause when they realized what had just taken place in their bingo club. Players were said to have been jumping up and down and shouting for joy and it has been reported that the party continued here into the night. Mrs Lowell herself celebrated at home with her family and neighbours until 6am the next day.

Despite this unbelievable bingo win, Mrs. Lowell has vowed to return to work as a cleaner. She has been playing bingo since she was first introduced to the game by her grandmother when she was a child and she joined the Club 3000 bingo hall when it first opened its doors only 16 month ago. Soraya’s husband did not believe the news when she phoned to tell him from the bingo club and even handed the phone to their daughter to see if she really was telling the truth, which of course she was and all the shouting in the background was a big giveaway.

This is what Soraya Lowell herself, had to say about her National Bingo Game Platinum Jackpot Win: "It just won't sink in yet. I haven't slept at all, but I will be back at work on Tuesday as usual. I clean offices until 1.30am and I don't intend to give up my job. I like the girls I work with, and they have already told me not to pack it in. This is my first ever win and it was worth waiting for," she added. "It feels quite good. Mrs Lowell also stated that her three daughters, who are aged 13, 15 and 21, and her 19 year old son, have already offered to help her spend her winnings! "They have all put in wee orders already. The two oldest want convertibles and don't even have licences yet."

The National Bingo games communications manager, Steve Baldwin, had this to say about Mrs Lowells win, "This is our second millionaire in eight weeks. We aim to make more winners more often at bingo and love it when they are record-breaking. We are thrilled for Soraya and look forward to presenting her with her recordbreaking cheque."

Bingo bosses are now claiming that this is now the biggest ever bingo win in history and what an unbelievable bingo win this was!
