Lucky mother scoops a chest full of treasure with her 627K* win

A lucky mother of three from Thatcham, Berkshire is celebrating after winning £627,179.74 from just a £1.40 stake on leading bingo site Gala Bingo.

The 37 year old was relaxing at home after putting the kids to bed and thought she would take a chance on the site’s Chest of Plenty game. After placing a £1.40 spin, she suddenly saw her win flashing on the screen.

Shocked and excited by the win, she said “I was speechless! I had to get my husband to check the computer screen for me in case I was dreaming it! I am absolutely delighted with my win and can’t wait to treat my family.”

The winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, already has plans for an overdue family holiday and a new family car.

But before all of that the lucky winner has already put an offer on a new home “It is thanks to (Gala Bingo) that we are fulfilling our dream of becoming homeowners. The whole family is delighted.”

Danny Mahon, Marketing Manager for Gala Bingo said: “We love giving away prizes at (Gala Bingo) and we are thrilled that we’ve had such a big win on our Chest of Plenty game. On average we give away around £60 million a month so we never tire of hearing how even a quick game can deliver a jackpot win. (Congratulations) to our Berkshire winner!”

One lucky grandfather from Weston-Super-Mare is celebrating after scooping a fantastic £391k jackpot on leading bingo website galabingo.

Unable to sleep the restless shift worker, who wishes to remain anonymous, logged on to have a quick play on the site’s popular five-reel Irish themed Leprechaun’s Luck slot game. Just minutes later the 61-year-old hit the pot of gold – winning a staggering £391,146.

In total disbelief the ecstatic aircraft refueller had to wait until the morning to confirm his eyes weren’t deceiving him and he in fact clearly had the luck of the Irish!

Still in shock, he said: “I keep pinching myself. This kind of thing doesn’t happen to me! I’ve always longed to be my own boss and this win has allowed me to do just that. I’ve just handed in my notice and now plan to set up my own gardening business.”

He added: “I’m also looking forward to spoiling my family. My fifth grandchild is due in the summer and winning on galabingo will allow us to treat the whole family.”

Lesley Whyte, consumer PR manager for Gala said: “We give away over £62 million a month and always love hearing how our players plan on spending their winnings. We wish this lucky customer all the best in starting his new gardening business and spoiling his entire family.”

Lesley added: “While our Leprechaun’s Luck jackpot may have just gone, there’s still plenty of opportunity for our players to strike lucky with our other games such as Alice’s Wonderland, which currently has a jackpot of nearly £100k*.”

Meccabingo has launched a fantastic new look website, giving players what they want and making the site easier to use.

After extensive customer research to find out exactly what bingo players want from their bingo site and looking closely at the design and usability, the new Meccabingo website has been built with the key objective of making Meccabingo the home of online bingo.

The bright and colourful site offers lots of new and easy to use customer-friendly features, such as the live up-to-date bingo schedule that launches player’s favourite bingo games straight from the homepage, at the click of a button.

Gaming director for Meccabingo, Angus Nisbet comments: “The new site has been built with customer’s needs at the forefront of our decisions; it’s simple to use, easy to navigate and a lot more up-to-date than the old site. There are a number of other innovative additions coming soon, all designed to create a personalised experience for every single customer.”

An essential part of building the new site has also been to integrate the new design with the look and feel of the Mecca Bingo Clubs, improving the experience online for the Club customers.

Angus Nisbet continues: “With 103 Mecca Bingo Clubs across the UK and a large online following, we have a huge customer base who wants the same experience whether they’re playing in one of our Clubs or online. This is why it has been important for us to bring the site design in line with our Clubs and provide consistency and a bingo experience that they are familiar with.”

Other new features include a fantastic new “Clubs” section that lets players know what is going on at their local Mecca Bingo Club, further emphasising Mecca Bingo’s commitment to integrate the two experiences. Another new feature is the improved community section that makes it easier for bingo players to meet up with their friends online whilst playing bingo.
