A bingo-loving gran celebrated with champagne today after scooping £1 million playing online bingo.
Pauline Clarke, 62, was down to her last 60p of a £5 account when her numbers came up and she got a full house.
Widowed Pauline, from Brislington, Bristol, has played bingo for years but only started playing the game online two months ago.
"I'm absolutely shocked,” said Pauline – celebrating over a champagne breakfast with pals at a posh hotel. “My heart is still racing. I've played bingo for years, in fact I won £6,000 in the National Game 12 years ago.
"However, I've only been playing online for two months.
"Two weeks ago I played online, putting £5 into my account and with my last 60p I played the KerChingo Qualifying Game.
"To my surprise I won the full house which meant I won £50 and a KerChingo Final Game ticket.
"I had always thought that I would win big and I do remember that a clairvoyant once said to me I'd never be stuck for cash, but when I needed to retire from work two years ago due to stress I wondered what she could have meant."
She now plans to pay off her children’s mortgages and pay someone to put up a greenhouse in her own back garden. |
