A 21-year-old from Basingstoke was "dumbstruck" when he picked up a £21,000 bingo jackpot in recent days.
Online resource ThisIsHampshire.net explains that George Carter stopped by Leisure Park's Gala Bingo club after his friend Mark Styles suggested that they try their luck before heading for a night out.
He told the publication: "It's more than a year's wages, tax-free, in one go - it's unbelievable."
Mr Carter says he plans to treat his family with his bingo winnings as well as enjoying a trip to Lanzarote.
He adds that he intends to not fritter away his cash, but seek financial advice on what to do with it, as well as using some of it to put a deposit down on a flat.
At the other end of the age spectrum, game operator National Bingo recently reported that a grandmother won £38,000 from the Walkers Club in Birmingham.
This added to a jackpot win of £102,000 she had previously picked up.
