Opera Bingo, one of the UK’s smaller independent bingo operators, is making headlines with an extraordinary achievement. In a rare and exciting feat, they celebrated back-to-back National Bingo Game £50,000 jackpot winners in two consecutive sessions.
The first life-changing win occurred at their Carlisle club during the evening session of September 19th, followed by another remarkable win in the afternoon session of September 20th at their Barrow club.
This double jackpot success story couldn’t come at a better time for Opera Bingo, whose community spirit and customer focus have been at the heart of their business. Despite being smaller than some of the larger bingo chains, their back-to-back wins demonstrate that big moments can happen at any bingo club, no matter the size.
The first winner, Beth Brown, a 44-year-old local lady from Carlisle, experienced a night she’ll never forget. Beth, who is married with grown-up children, was attending the club with her aunt, who first introduced her to bingo.
Beth was still in disbelief when she shared her feelings: “I love coming to bingo every week with my Aunty Mary, it is our weekly treat. I did win back in June over £2,000, but this amount is unbelievable. It just does not feel real. When the numbers came up, I could not stop crying—it really is a life-changing amount of money. I am deciding how to best spend the money, but I will definitely be going on a cruise and saving some!”
Club Manager Jamie Wilson recalled the atmosphere in the club that night, “All of the customers in the club were so happy for the winner. It was amazing to be here and see someone win such a huge amount. The atmosphere was electric, and everyone, both old and new customers, were congratulating Beth. Even if you are new to bingo, you can win life-changing money. You must be in it to win it!”
And as the celebrations for Beth’s win continued, Opera Bingo made more news the very next day when another player won the £50,000 jackpot at their Barrow club.
Alastair Stewart, Head of Commercial Operations at the National Bingo Game, shared his enthusiasm for the club’s double success, “We are thrilled for Opera Bingo in Carlisle, Barrow, and of course, their winners. Bingo is for everyone, and the National Game brings the bingo community together while paying out big money. We have paid out over £16 million in the last 12 months on the National Game. We love making winners!”
Opera Bingo’s back-to-back wins prove that life-changing jackpot victories can happen any night, at any club!
