The lucky winner scooped the jackpot on Sunday 7th September playing on the National Bingo Game. The winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, is known to be a regular customer at the venue on Dagenham Leisure Park and couldn’t wait to get on the phone to tell her family about her win. The fabulous £50k jackpot is triggered when a player matches all the numbers on their ticket and claims a ‘full house’ within the first 16 numbers being called.
Michelle Howes was calling the numbers on the night, and explained what happened; “It was a busy night with over 300 people playing. We’d had an incorrect claim, with a customer mistakenly shouting ‘house’ on 14 numbers, so we were already on edge, and then I called one more number and I saw the winning claim come in! The customer looked so shocked and everyone was applauding. When I went over to congratulate her, she was already on the phone to her family to share the good news.
“I’ve worked here for 17 years but I only started calling last year and this is the biggest jackpot prize that I’ve announced. It’s such an amazing feeling when you tell someone that they’ve won a big amount. When you see their reaction, it feels like Christmas! The £50k National Bingo Game jackpot is a real cause for celebration!”
