23/07/2007

The Gala Bingo Club in Wester Hailes, Edinburgh, saw one of its players share the £100,000 national jackpot with four other bingo winners nationwide recently.

 

But the 65-year-old had to stay calm as he has had a triple heart bypass, reports National Bingo.

 

"I have had a triple heart by-pass and I have a spray to use for angina," he told the game operator.

 

"But I managed not to get too excited and I didn't have to use it."

 

A total of five players across the country took equal shares in the prize after they all reached uk bingo in 45 calls.

 

Edinburgh players have now claimed over £1.6 million in bingo prizes, according to figures from National Bingo.

 

This includes a £200,000 jackpot scooped by a Mecca Bingo Online player on January 29th, 2006.
