Jackpot hit by 84-year-old Bradford lady

Bradford pensioner scoops big win

An old lady at a Buckingham bingo club in Bradford has managed to stun club regulars by picking up a massive cash prize.

The 84-year-old has been visiting the club since 2002, popping in around four times per week, and last Thursday finally scooped a £22,739.68.

According to club deputy manager Sean Simmonite – who admitted he was "in total shock" at the occurrence – the entire club was whooping and cheering once she claimed the prize. He said:

"[I] couldn't believe she had finally won such a massive amount of money. The whole club was going crazy for her, giving her a massive round of applause and cheering for her."

Win big at Buckingham

This win follows on from another big cash payout at a Buckingham Bingo Preston club. Veronica Howarth, 56, had also been a longtime member and scooped £50,000 after calling 50 numbers. What's great about our Bucky Bullseye prize is that every other member in the club also receives £50 – and that's exactly what happened to the 92 players sharing the games room with Veronica!

Although the retired mother-of-three has no ideas as to how she will spend the money, she has already generously decided to split the cash with her friend. And what's spooky about her win is that she was sitting in the exact same seat as April's Bucky Bullseye winner!
