The Gala Bingo players in Scunthorpe have just hit the high five bingo jackpot to the tune of a whopping £383,800, so you could certainly say that they were a full house town last week. 74 of their players are now quids in after chip shop owner Pamela Markham won the full house on that magic number five to win herself a very nice £194,188 and all the other bingo players in the Gala Bingo club shared the other half of this huge jackpot prize bagging them all £2,600 each.

As you can imagine all the Scunthorpe Gala Bingo players were very excited when they all collected their cheques and to not even win the game of bingo to win a share of this jackpot prize is what makes the high 5 jackpot game in a totally different league to other jackpots offered around land based bingo clubs.

It has been said that Mrs Markham who owns the fish and chip shop with her husband George in Messingham High Street in Scunthorpe is still in shock after her big bingo win, but she did have this to say about Gala Bingo and their high five jackpot bingo game.

"It's mind boggling to have won and it's hit home now that I have the cheque and have seen the figures," she said. It's so nice that everyone else got some winnings too as we've all celebrated together and I'm sharing the winnings with my sister-in-law because we share everything."

Share and share alike is what the high five jackpot brings to players who play at their land based bingo halls and whilst we were sceptical at first about this new jackpot game hitting their bingo clubs in place of the National Bingo Game, from the reports we have seen coming from Gala Bingo, for most, this new jackpot is proving to be an astounding success.

Where else can you bingo and be in with the chance of winning some great cash prizes without even actually winning a game of bingo? Nowhere, I think you will find the answer to that question will be and we are not taking about winning small change either as the Gala Bingo Scunthorpe players know all too well.
