A very lucky lady has had her fortunes turned around by Gala Bingo after winning over £90,000.  The astonished player known by her chat name of “theberry” was completely unaware of her good fortune because at the time of her win, she was actually away from her computer screen getting a quick cuppa.  Her stake was just 5p when she hit the Cash Climber Jackpot in the Sharon Club room.  WTG!

It only became apparent to her that she had in fact scooped the jackpot when she received the congratulatory messages from her fellow roomies. It slowly dawned on her that she was the lucky winner of a life-changing £90,595!  This is undoubtedly an incredibly fortunate win, especially with just a 5p stake – Lady Luck was certainly shining down on ‘theberry’ that day!

Previously her wins at Gala Bingo had been a no more than £50, so ‘theberry’ really cannot believe her luck: She said: “I was shocked! At first I thought it might be a practical joke from a friend who had somehow managed to set it up; so I called galabingo.com and they confirmed it was true.”  It does seem that Lady Luck has smiled on a very deserving winner because single mum, “theberry” had a run of bad luck last year.  She stated “I’ve had some bad luck last year, damaging my back, having my handbag stolen and crashing my car, so this is just amazing.”

Asked how she intended to spend the winnings ‘theberry’ said: “I think it has just about sunk in!  I’ve had years of being careful, so I’ve just got the children a few treats – but I still haven’t spent much so far as I’m still working out what we want to do with our win. I have lots of things I want done in the house and am looking forward to a nice holiday as well. ”

Lesley Hall, online PR manager at galabingo.com said: “We’re absolutely delighted for ‘theberry’ and her family – especially as she had such a bad run of luck in 2009. Hopefully by becoming one of our 500,000 monthly winners has helped 2010 get off to a really positive start.” Indeed, we could all do with a little of that ‘positivity’!
