BABY AT BINGO IS LUCKY OMEN
25/02/2008
Convincing her pregnant daughter to go to the bingo proved lucky for one player - just as she had planned.
Most prospective parents might object to their child being regarded as an "omen", after the film exploits of a certain Damien.
But for one bingo fan, the word proved slightly more positive recently, as she attempted to shock her daughter into labour.
While the trick failed, National Bingo reveals that 44-year-old Tracey Firth instead landed in the money.
Following a win at the Buckingham Bingo hall in Bradford, Tracey says of her daughter: "She was definitely my lucky omen."
She adds that the £18,000 UK bingo jackpot is to be shared between herself and four others.
"We're splitting the winnings between the five of us so we're all very happy," she tells National Bingo.
More reason to celebrate came five days later as Tracey's daughter finally gave birth to a baby boy - called Alfie, not Damien.
Players in Bradford have scooped more than £1 million in UK bingo jackpots across the city's Buckingham, Mecca and Gala Bingo venues.
