A lucky grandmother from Paisley is celebrating after her big bingo win of £38,000, on the National Bingo Game. This also caused the gran to have a sleepless night directly after her win as she could just not calm down.

The shock when that a big bingo win comes your way can affect people in lots of different ways, most bingo players would have dreamt at one time or another of winning the big one, but when it does happen, disbelief can strike, and it can take a while for it all to sink in that it was actually you!

Lady Luck struck at the New Globe Bingo Club for the 69 year old gran, who was sadly widowed five years ago. As they say all good things come in threes and that is exactly how many times you win when you hit the jackpot on the National Bingo game, as it has three great cash prizes attached to it.

To make this big win happen, the lucky lady called house on the National Bingo Game in 42 numbers, which was the lowest amount of calls in any of the 470 bingo clubs that were participating in the game on the night. First the lady won the National Bingo Game prize of a whopping £36,580, next came the fantastic regional prize of £2,000, plus she also won her bingo clubs own in house prize of £60, which gave her total winning for a night out at the bingo of more than £38,000!

This is the lucky Paisley grandmother’s quote in her own words: “I am only just calming down now, she said, although I still think I must be dreaming. It is certainly a night I shall never forget, or the date as it was my daughter’s birthday. I will be treating my family of two daughters and five grandchildren, although they all tell me they don’t want it and to spend it on myself. It has certainly come at a great time for me. I have just had my house re-wired and it is in such a mess. Everywhere needs re-decorating. I was excited when I won the £60, and thought that would buy most of the wallpaper. Then when they announced I had won the National as well it was a shock but a lovely surprise. Everyone clapped and gave me a big cheer.”

It seems like this great bingo win could not have gone to a nicer lady, and it is sure to make life just that little bit more easier for her now!
