Bingo winners!

I won a £101,478 jackpot and then another £1,000!

For the past five years I’ve enjoyed playing Chat Mag Bingo. I’ve always loved Bingo and playing online is just as much fun especially as many of my friends play too.

I run my own business looking after holiday cottages and of an evening after a busy day, it’s nice to relax and have a few games of bingo. It was late evening on 2 August and I thought I’d have a quick game before bedtime.

I pre-bought some tickets for Sapphire, a 90-ball bingo game. I spent £2 on tickets for the next few games.

Playing online you don’t have to sit and watch the numbers being called as the numbers are dabbed automatica­lly.

Feeling sleepy, I left the game running and headed to bed.

The next day, I was awoken to the sound of my phone.

Turning to the alarm clock, I saw 8am light up. It’s too early for phone calls, I thought.

‘You’ve won, mum, you’ve won!’ a familiar but oddly high-pitched voice screamed down the phone to me.

I squinted at my phone. It was Sammy, 25, my youngest daughter. ‘I’ve won what?’ I grunted. Rubbing my eyes, I suddenly remembered I’d left the game on. The bingo!

Running around my bedroom trying to get into an inside out dressing gown, eyes still bleary, I charged downstairs and I fired up the laptop. ‘Oh my god!’ I squealed. I looked at my balance and could see it was now a sixfigure number on the screen. I’d won £101,478! In the past, I’d won jackpots, but never as much as this.

I was being so loud I woke up my eldest son Jack who came downstairs in a flash.

When I told him the news, he threw his arms around me. We were stunned.

I rang round all my family and we headed out for a meal that night to start the celebratio­ns.

Then on the Sunday, as our celebratio­ns continued, I won another £1,000.

When I won my big jackpot on the Wednesday, I’d also won bingo tickets for the Weekly Playoff Palace bingo game on the Sunday.

It was incredible, two big wins in 5 days.

Working out what to do next was easy. I treated my grandchild­ren at the toyshop and gave my children a bit of cash so they could treat themselves. It’s been amazing to share my win with them.

Thanks Chat Mag Bingo.
