Jackpot win for Hartlepool bingo fan |
|
30th July 2008 |
At the tender age of 20, a bingo player has scooped the jackpot at Hartlepool's Mecca Club, in the Warrior Retail Park.
According to the Hartlepool Mail, the anonymous young winner was "shocked" and "amazed" about the windfall.
Not only did he walk away with the National Bingo Game prize of £60,060 but he also took home the regional prize of £3,298 and the house prize of £317.
The youngster told the newspaper that as well as treating his girlfriend he plans to use the money to put a deposit down on a new home.
He also hopes to pay off a few debts, according to the publication.
It seems that those heading to Mecca Bingo this weekend were striking it lucky all over the UK, with the Lanarkshire-based Winshaw Press reporting another big win.
An unnamed 62-year-old was £16,000 better off after playing at the town's Mecca Bingo hall in Kirk road, the newspaper claimed.
