I scooped two JACKPOT!

And spoiled my kids and grandkids…

- By Lesley Smith, 54, from Morecambe

Working long hours in a bar – there’s nothing I like more than putting my feet up after work. Sometimes I play bingo. Me and my fiance Gary, 52, have been playing it for years.

We play Chat Mag Bingo and the site has loads of games – not just bingo but slots, too, and you can play on your mobile.

On 11 August last year it was just like any other evening.

I’d got back about 6pm and Gary was already home and he had the dinner in the oven.

I knew that there was a Link Game in Emerald, the 90-ball bingo room from 6.30pm, so I logged on to catch the game.

A Link Game is a bingo game where different rooms play together so players have the chance to win an even bigger Full House.

I sat and waited as my numbers came through.

‘Look!’ I cried out to Gary when I suddenly realised my last number had been called. I’d won the £1,000 jackpot! ‘No way!’ Gary shrieked. ‘Yes, way!’ I responded. It was the perfect timing, too, as Gary’s son from a previous relationsh­ip was just about to have a party to celebrate his engagement.

Calling him, we told him that we’d pay for the DJ. He was thrilled! Then, last 7 October, it was a Saturday and we’d enjoyed a rare trip to the bingo hall as we’d both had the day off.

Visiting the grandchild­ren is always a top priority on the weekend so we’d ticked that off during the day, too.

As the evening drew in, we settled down to play a few games of bingo.

As we’d already been to the bingo hall earlier, so I didn’t want to spend too much online.

But with Chat Mag Bingo – you’re able to set a deposit and spend limit.

I spent £1.20 on1p tickets for the Tiki room.

Then I watched as the numbers were dabbed off. I watched the ball calls. I needed two, then one… Hang on a second, I thought. They’re all my numbers! I’d already won £11 on

The word Winner

came up and I squealed for joy!

two lines earlier and then I’d bagged another £39 on the Full House.

But then Winner popped up on screen, and I’d also won the £3,056 progressiv­e jackpot and I squealed for joy!

Double-checking the screen with Gary, it felt like a dream. I’d won £3,106 in total. And just a couple of months before Christmas, too!

I bought the grandchild­ren some new toys and clothes and made sure that we had all we wanted to treat ourselves over the holiday.

Being able to spoil our children and grandchild­ren has definitely been the best part of winning on the bingo.

It’s been great having two wins – they were both unforgetta­ble moments.

So, thank you very much Chat Mag Bingo!
