While many people could welcome an extra few pounds in their pockets when Christmas shopping, one winner is taking a different approach.

For the 67-year-old Stevenage player intends to leave her £22,500 UK bingo jackpot winnings untouched until 2008.

She tells National Bingo: "I might buy myself a laptop in the January sales."

But even this is not to be the start of a spending spree, the sensible victor continues.

"The rest will then be saved for holidays and things I may need in my home," she explains.

Her win came at the Mecca Bingo club in Danestrete, where she also scooped the house prize of £100.

The lucky recipient has been a member of the club for the past ten years - but adds that the win still came as a shock.

Previously, the Mecca Bingo venue took the UK bingo jackpot in January - and there could still be time left to claim it again before the year is out.
