BINGO CURE FOR DOCKER
27/11/2007Following a period of illness, a 77-year-old retired docker missed his usual bingo sessions for a number of weeks, reports National Bingo.
But after making it back to his local venue for the first time after recovery, he hit the UK bingo jackpot of £80,000.
With the house prize of £400 adding to his overall win, the lucky punter reveals he soon forgot how poorly he had been.
"I hadn't been to bingo for five weeks because I have been under the weather," he explains to National UK Bingo.
"But I decided to go on Saturday even though I still wasn't feeling great - the win certainly perked me up!"
He now plans to make the most of the festive period - providing the cheque arrives in time.
The win came at the Castle Club in Newport, which has now given away more than £1 million in UK bingo jackpots, according to figures from the game's operating body.
