62 year old grandmother makes bingo history after only 2 months playing online
Thursday 9th August 2007
A grandmother from Bristol, England who'd only been playing online bingo for two months has just won £1,000,000 in Gala Bingo's online KerChingo game.
The pensioner said she plans to spend some of her good fortune paying off her children's mortgages and to put up a greenhouse.
“I’m absolutely shocked,' Pauline told reporters. 'My heart is still racing. I’ve played bingo for years; in fact I won GBP 6 000 in the National Game 12 years ago. However, I’ve only been playing online for two months.
'Two weeks ago I played online, putting GBP 5 on my account, and with my last 60 pence I played the KerChingo Qualifying Game. To my surprise I won the full house which meant I won GBP 50 and a KerChingo Final Game ticket.
“I had always thought that I would win big and I do remember that a clairvoyant once said to me I’d never be stuck for cash, but when I needed to retire from work two years ago due to stress, I wondered what she could have meant!”
