Lucky winner hits festive jackpot

A quids-in Coatbridge bingo player scooped the perfect present after she won £50,000 on Christmas Eve.

The selfless woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, plans to generously split her massive winnings with a close friend – and use her half to help her son plan his wedding.

The lucky winner hit the jackpot with her fantastic festive treat at Buzz Bingo in her home town’s Faraday Retail Park.

She has been a regular at the Coatbridge club since she was old enough to attend but this is the first time she’s ever took home the top prize.

The woman says she is “absolutely delighted with the life-changing win and can’t wait to use some of the money to help her son plan a perfect wedding”.

This is the club’s fourth £50,000 winner in less than a year – making Buzz Bingo Coatbridge one of the luckiest clubs in the country.

Gordon Barr, general manager at Buzz Bingo Coatbridge (pictured above), said: “We couldn’t be happier for our fourth lucky £50,000 winner and their fantastic win.

“Everyone was cheering from their seats; it was such an exciting moment. All the staff at Buzz Bingo Coatbridge are delighted to be a part of the UKS luckiest club.”

Chief retail officer at Buzz Bingo, Peter Brigden, added: “the atmosphere in the club when there’s a win is always incredible, and we’re delighted to see another customer hit the £50,000 jackpot during the Big Buzz Special at Buzz Bingo Coatbridge. Overall, Buzz Bingo players win more than £2m per week in bingo prize money. It’s great to celebrate a win and have the rest of the bingo community celebrate it too.”
