One Pontypool pensioner seems to have formed a close relationship with Lady Luck this year after winning £1,000 earlier this year only to then scoop more than £26,000 in the same Mecca Bingo Club in Cwmbran. The lucky winner has been playing bingo for many of her 77 years and originally played at her local Mecca Bingo hall in Pontypool until its closure forced her to switch to the club in Cwmbran where she now plays four times a week.

Her prize was made up of the house prize of £89, the Regional prize of £1,753 and the National prize of £25,000 and she managed to call full house in just 41 numbers.

This lucky winner has been married for 59 years and boasts two children and seven grandchildren!

The Carlton Club in Inverkeithing proved to hold the winning numbers for a 37 year old lady making her first trip ever the bingo hall after she scooped over £27,000. Although the lady in question does play bingo occasionally it's usually at another club but on this lucky night she had decided to go with her sister to Carlton Bingo instead. What a wise decision!

Her prize was made up of the house prize of £90, the Regional prize of £2,167 and the National prize of £25,600 and she managed to call full house in 44 numbers.

Now this is where things get confusing for me; the NBGA report that the winner is just 37 years old but goes onto say that she and her partner have seven children and ten GRANDCHILDREN! Who am I to judge but I am scratching my head??? Maybe her partner is older - that could be it!

Lady Luck has been around the country this week it would appear, the next big win reported is in Felixstowe by a 68 year old woman at The Palaces Bingo club to a value of more than £11,000.

Her prize was made up of the house prize of £20, the Regional prize of £1,000 and the National prize of £10,640 and she managed to call full house in just 41 numbers.

And as a footnote, Wink Bingo sent me another TWO postcards this morning which is very nice but considering I'm already a member of thier online bingo site, the £15 free offer isn't valid to me!
