It was an afternoon to remember at Club 3000 Bingo Edinburgh as one lucky player scooped a life-changing £50,000 jackpot during the evening session of the National Bingo Game.
Shaileen Manders who is a regular at Club 3000 Bingo Club in Edinburgh was playing on her own when her numbers came up—securing the top prize of the afternoon a whooping £50,000. Shaileen has been playing bingo for 37 years after her aunt introduced her to bingo all those years ago.
Overjoyed and still in shock, the Shaileen could not contain her excitement: “It was unbelievable when I realised I had called in less than 16 numbers resulting in me winning the big life changing prize of £50,000. Everyone was congratulating me and the entire club erupted. I’m absolutely thrilled and can’t wait to start planning how I’ll spend the money. I am so excited and cannot wait to celebrate with my friends and family and help them and go on an amazing holiday.” Shaileen continued “I love bingo it means so much to me it is my special time and it is like one big family here, somewhere you can come with friends and by yourself as it is so welcoming, get yourself down to Club 3000 Bingo in Edinburgh you just never know when your luck will come in ! My auntie who introduced me to bingo all these years ago will be looking down with a smile on her face.”
This incredible win marks the largest jackpot win at the Edinburgh club in Leith since it opened its doors in January this year.
Alistair McBride said: “We were all so excited to celebrate the win alongside Shaileen, she has been a regular here since we opened and we could not be more thrilled for her. The atmosphere in the club was electric—everyone was cheering! Nights like this are what make bingo truly special, bringing the whole community together to celebrate.”
