WORLD RECORD ONLINE BINGO SITE WIN
British Gala online bingo player scores GBP 162 000
One of those life-changing moments occurred for a British mother of three this
week when Jo Collins received a cheque for over GBP 162 000 -
believed to be the biggest bingo win ever - from Gala Bingo Online.
Jo, a Special Needs School driver, had been playing Gala Bingo Online for only
five days when she scooped GBP 162.701.97.
She said: "I’m going to pay off the mortgage, and the car, and go
out to Australia to see the long-lost friends who introduced me to my husband.
I have three grown up children and ten grandchildren and we are going to have
a great party."
Jo (52) is also a Meals on Wheels volunteer. She has been married for 35 years.
Recounting her winning experience, she added: "I was at my daughter Melanie’s
house when I realised I’d won a big prize. We just went mad and danced
around. When I told my husband Mervyn he thought I’d picked up GBP1 600.
You should have heard him when I explained that I had won over GBP160,000!"
"I’m going to carry on with my driving job. The Special Needs kids
rely on people like me to get them to school."
The previous highest recorded win was GBP 130,000.
Gala Coral E. Commerce Managing Director Dominic Harrison said: "We
are delighted to have a big winner, and with the response to our new-look Gala
Bingo website. It has real buzz, and mirrors exactly the exciting atmosphere
to be found in our clubs."
