SEVEN YEAR WAIT PROVES WORTH IT
16/01/2008

While superstitious bingoers might be afraid of seven years' bad luck, a Castleford grandmother has proved such a delay could be just right.

 

Having registered to play at the town's Gala Bingo hall, it took a further seven years for her to play her first game, National Bingo reports.

 

But it was worth the wait, as she claimed the £40,000 UK bingo jackpot on her first night at the venue.

 

Assistant manager Derek Jones tells National Bingo: "Our records show she joined in June 2000 but that night was the first time she had played."

 

The winner adds: "It was such a shock when they told me how much I had won - I just can't believe it."

 

Her win is the latest in a number of UK jackpots claimed at the club, including a £10,000 prize in April 2007.
