We were amazed to hear reports that one lucky local bingo hall player scooped a whopping £85k in a massive jackpot win! Seems like 2010 may well be the year of some of the biggest jackpot wins in both the offline and online bingo world, with many reports of winners frequently scooping some jackpots that soar well into the thousands.
The latest news comes form a Beacon Bingo hall in Loughborough, where a lucky regular of the club managed to hit one of it’s top jackpots, breaking records for the biggest single win at the club. The £85k payout was won through one of Beacon Bingo’s “Beacon 24” multi jackpot games – a game which costs £2 per card and provides players with 24 chances to win 5 different coloured jackpots.
The lady in question, only referred to as “Anne”, managed to complete the red line on her bingo card, scooping the £85k prize, which is somewhat of a lifechanging sum of money! Although we don’t know her full name, we can tell you Anne lives in nearby Seagrave, and has been playing at the bingo club in Loughborough for over 20 years. She plays bingo at the club three to four times a week, and is no doubt thrilled that her loyalty has finally been rewarded with her amazing jackpot win!
Anne’s plans for the money centre around her family, who are no doubt going to have plenty of reason to celebrate, and can expect a year of big treats courtesy of her bingo win.
Kevin Farnsworth who is the General Manager at Beacon Bingo, Loughborough said, “Everyone at the club was delighted to see one of our regular customers win such a fantastic jackpot amount. The atmosphere was electric. We are a very lucky club and Anne is just one of many large winners over the last few years, who have won on both our Beacon 24 Multi Jackpot ticket and also the National Bingo Game”
With the local bingo operator making a switch into online bingo recently, no doubt they will be hoping they can replicate Anne’s success for some online bingo fans in the near future! And it seems to be part of a much bigger trend in bingo, with guaranteed jackpots in many online games climbing in the face of the financial crisis.
Maybe it has something to do with the growing number of online bingo players and additional revenue in the industry, but it’s great to see operators passing their money back to the players! Just recently, 888 Ladies Bingo ran its largest ever jackpot win, with a whopping £50lk payout. And with plenty of reports over the last few months of huge instant win jackpot prizes at sites like Wink Bingo, Posh Bingo and most recently a £71k payout at Costa Bingo, with money like that up for grabs, it’s no wonder the online bingo world is booming!
