Two Scottish bingo players scooped £50,000 jackpots on the same evening during the National Bingo Game session on Sunday, 6th October. The lucky winners, playing just 80 miles apart at Mecca Bingo Dundee and Mecca Glasgow Forge, celebrated lifechanging wins within minutes of each other.
At Mecca Bingo Dundee, regular player Lorraine Scullin claimed the £50,000 prize by matching all her numbers within 16 calls. Thrilled with her win, Lorraine plans to share her prize with her family and enjoy a luxurious getaway. “Bingo is so much fun, and everyone is so friendly,” Lorraine said. “It really highlighted the amazing community of people I play bingo with.”
Meanwhile, at Mecca Glasgow Forge, an anonymous player hit the same jackpot. Known to regularly meet friends at the club, she’s reportedly planning a celebratory holiday.
This latest win marks the fifth big National Bingo Game jackpot in the Glasgow area this year, reinforcing the region’s lucky reputation.
Mecca Glasgow Forge caller Isobel Spencer described the moment: “The winner was in total shock. It’s such a thrill to announce a win of this size.”
Mecca’s Director of Bingo, Mike Sime, summed it up: “Two £50,000 wins on the same game is incredible. We’re delighted for both winners and the excitement it’s brought to our clubs.”
