In addition to returning to full health, a £10,000 jackpot for her daughter gave an Aberdare bingo fan twice the reason to party.
What's more, the prize came just a year after the pair had joined the Castle club at the Treforest Industrial Estate, Nantgarw, reports National Bingo.
The winner explained to the game operator: "It was the first time in a few months that my mum and I had played because she has been ill, so it was a nice welcome back."
A second player in West Bromwich joined the festivities after completing a full house in 46 calls to take an equal £10,000 share of the national uk bingo jackpot.
Meanwhile, National Bingo suggests the funds could come in handy as the Aberdare woman has just booked a holiday to Tenerife.
Twice as many women play bingo as men, according to the operating body, with about eight per cent of all Britons taking part in the game.
