Pick Me Up!

I’ve Won Over £16,300 And a holiday!

Yvonne has scooped FIVE jackpots!

- Yvonne Mead, 64, Weymouth

After dinner, I made my husband Barry, 64, and me a cup of tea. He was watching a TV, so I started playing around on my laptop.

Soon I got chatting to my bingo pals in the chat room of Pick Me Up! Bingo. The ‘roomies’, as they’re known, are such a lovely bunch. I’d been a member for over 10 years.

While I was on the site, I thought I might as well buy a few tickets for a game. Bingo Lounge is one of my favourites.

Your numbers are automatica­lly marked off. So I didn’t need to worry if

I got distracted.

A few minutes later, I checked my numbers.

I was stunned to see my account balance had increased by £1,363.

I’d won the jackpot!

Not the first time

‘I can’t believe you’ve won again,’ Barry gasped. This wasn’t my first win. Three years earlier in March 2014, I’d scooped a whopping £4,262 playing Game Show Bingo.

And, less than a month later, I’d won another £4,503 playing the same game.

I’d been on cloud nine.

My daughter, 34, had just moved into a new house, so I’d given her the money to help decorate the place.

Me and Barry booked a weekend away to Scotland.

Off to Tenerife!

In 2015, I won a wonderful holiday to Tenerife.

I’d opted in to take part in a promotion on the site to enter a prize draw. And I’d been chosen as the winner!

Barry and I had enjoyed an all-inclusive week in the sun.

I never thought I’d win again! But in April this year, I did – £1,363.

‘My third cash win!’ I grinned, so Barry and I added the money to our holiday fund.

Then, this June, I was

chatting to a few friends in the chat room when I caught sight of my balance.

It had increased by £3,632.

That can’t be right, I thought. I’d not been playing bingo games, just chatting.

I decided to check again the following morning. When I did, the money was still there.

A few days before I’d bought tickets for Session Bingo.

I’d completely forgotten. But I’d won the jackpot!

Again, Barry and I added it to our holiday fund.

‘ We’ll book somewhere nice soon,’ I said.

But before we’d looked at the holiday brochures,

I won again in July. This time I scooped £2,634 playing in Bingo Lounge.

So we booked a coach trip around Italy.

I know what you’re thinking, though… Five jackpots – it’s all right for some!

I used to think the same thing.

I never thought that one day I’d be appearing in the mag. Yet, here I am! I’m proof that anybody can be a winner.

this was just the start… ‘Roomies’, as they’re known, are such a lovely bunch
