RUTH RECEIVES £20,000 FOR £1 BINGO BOOK
26/02/2007

Ruth Robinson was playing at the Majestic bingo hall in South Shields' Denmark Centre when she collected the house prize of £61.20 for a 38-ball win.

 

However, she did not realise that she had also won the regional and national jackpots, reports the Shields Gazette.

 

With the £485.02 regional win and the national prize of £20,000 added to her total, the 80-year-old took home £20,546.22 in all.

 

Tom Watson, the 23-year-old caller who was responsible for the lucky game, joined the Majestic bingo hall less than a week earlier.

 

"I have seen people win quite a few times," he told the publication.

 

"On my third day, for somebody to call on the 38th number and for me to give them £20,000 is brilliant," he added.

 

South Tyneside Council listed the Majestic bingo hall among the key aspects for its planned regeneration of the town centre.
