DELAYED REACTION FOR BINGO WINNER
21/08/2007

A 41-year-old bingo winner from Enfield didn't know how to react when told she had claimed the £50,000 national jackpot, it is revealed.

 

There was something of a delayed reaction as she gradually realised she was not dreaming.

 

"I was so shocked when I realised I had won," she told game operating body National Bingo.

 

"I sat there calmly to start with but when it hit me I jumped up and down with excitement."

 

The prize would have been doubled as the win came in the £100,000 national game, but a player in Glasgow also bingoed on 46 calls.

 

But as she only plays "once every so often", the winner still called the five-figure sum "fantastic".

 

She says she now plans to visit Jamaica - although this may have to wait until the island community recovers from the punishing it received this week from Hurricane Dean.
