Bingo winners!

My wife and I had two celebrations

As I clicked ‘spin’ on the screen, the kettle boiled. I turned to make a cuppa.

Then, Dingding-ding-dingding… came from my laptop. Five diamonds were lined up – I’d won!

Playing Diamond Bonanza slots on Chat Mag Bingo, I’d won the progressive jackpot on a 25p spin – £4,384.

My wife Sharon, 54, and I own a women’s boutique and, after a long day, Sharon had gone for an early night. I raced up to tell her.

‘Sharon!’ I cried. ‘I’ve won big on the slots!’

We had a chat about how to spend the money. We’re both busy – we had the shop, plus I’m a carpenter, so we invested money in the shop and new tools. And then there were our two grown-up sons and five grandkids, so we treated them. Two weeks on after work, did paperwork for the shop, checked my e-mails. Then I had a few games on Diamond Bonanza again – on a 25p line. I watched, stunned, as five diamonds rolled to a stop…all lined up in the middle row. Surely not twice?! I thought. But I’d won the jackpot again – £4,733! That’s £9,117 in just over two weeks! ‘We can get a new car,’ Sharon beamed. Recently, we celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. We had a lovely night away with fizz and dinner, and then I treated us to another meal out. It’s still sinking in – two big wins in two weeks. Cheers, Chat Mag Bingo!
