I won a Huge £ 1 0 7, 2 61

Now I’m going to set up my own business!

- By Jessy Harvey-gayle, 42, from Birmingham

Flopping into bed for an early night, I sighed. I had a busy job, being the area manager of a cleaning company. I relished the challenge, but it was exhausting.

Flicking on the TV, I pulled out my phone to play a few games on Chat Mag Bingo.

Playing bingo or the slots was one my favourite ways to relax. I’d joined years earlier after a mate recommende­d it.

It fitted around work, and was great to play online if I wanted a relaxing night in.

The slots were my favourite, especially Double Bubble. It was easy to play and the bonus games were fun.

I set myself a limit, so I didn’t overspend.

Earlier this year, I arrived home after a busy day, popped a soap on the telly and snuggled down for a game on Chat Mag Bingo.

I saw a game called Double Bubble Jackpot.

Double Bubble was my favourite and this new version had a huge jackpot up for grabs…

After a few spins, the Bubble Pop Bonus appeared on screen! I had to pick one of the soap bubbles bobbing on my screen for a chance to win the progressiv­e jackpot.

Clicking on one, I glanced at the TV then back at my screen.

My prize amount appeared on my phone screen – I’d won! The number rolled up and up. It passed £10,000, then £20,000.

It flicked from £50,000 to £60,000. It kept going… £80,000, £90,000…When it finally rolled to a stop, I gasped – I’d won £107,261!

I’d won the progressiv­e jackpot of the Chat Mag Bingo brand-new game.

Over £100,000 – it was absolutely incredible.

I barely slept that night, thinking of all the things I could do with my wonderful win.

Next morning, I told all my mates. They were all stunned and thrilled for me.

And the money was in my bank account by mid-afternoon!

It took a week for my fantastic jackpot win to really sink in – then I went out and bought myself a car. I decided I wanted to do something big with the rest – something different. Since my early 20s, I’d thought about running my own business. But I’d just never seemed to be able to get round to it. This could be my big chance, I thought. A few weeks later, chatting with my friend, I had an idea. ‘We could run our own cafe,’ I said. I used to work in the hospitalit­y industry and had really enjoyed it. And my friend was a brilliant cook. I

could make the coffee and cooked breakfasts, while she whipped up some mouthwater­ing dishes from our Caribbean heritage.

I knew she made a mean jerk chicken!

‘I’m in,’ she grinned happily.

I’m now researchin­g, looking for a cafe that’s already up-and-running, with the lease up for sale.

I can’t wait to spend my days nattering with customers, meeting all sorts of people, serving delicious food. And being my own boss!

I’m going to save the rest of my winnings.

But I can’t wait to fire up the coffee machine in my own cafe for the first time.

And, as the bacon sizzles in the pan for our new customers, I’ll be sure to thank Chat Mag Bingo.

My big win has made a dream come true!

I’d wanted to be my own boss. Now I had the chance!
