It was a night to remember at Mecca Bingo Chesterfield when one lucky regular scooped a £50,000 National Bingo Game jackpot – just days before giving birth to her seventh child!
The win came on 3rd January during an evening session at the Foljambe Road club. A long-time Mecca player for over 20 years, the winner, who wished to remain anonymous, had popped in for some well-earned “me” time.
She left not only with a smile but also with a life-changing prize.
“I just couldn’t believe it!” she said. “It was such a shock—and it couldn’t have come at a better time. I gave birth the week after I won! We’ve never been abroad as a family, but now we’re planning our first holiday to Spain. I’ve got Mecca Bingo to thank.”
Bingo caller Michelle Stubbs was on the mic when the jackpot dropped:
“I went crackers! This is the second £50k win I’ve called and it never gets old. The whole club erupted—it was one of those feel-good moments you don’t forget.”
The win was part of a remarkable streak for Mecca’s players, with two other £50,000 jackpots claimed at Wakefield and Leeds Mayfair in the space of seven days.
