Most bingo players treat a session as a good excuse to get out of the house, and do a bit of socialising, as although winning the jackpot is in the back of every player’s mind, we are all well aware of the statistical probabilities when it comes to hitting full house, particularly when playing the national.
So, when that big win does come in it must be a surprise, much to the disgruntlement of all everyone else in the club unless you’re in a syndicate. Mind you, when a mum wins, most people are a bit happier, as we now mothers work hard, and they’ve got to put shoes on the kids’ feet.
Mum Cheryl Knowles from Newport recently won almost thirty thousand pounds at Castle Bingo in Usk Way, Newport, and is going to share it with her bingo buddy Donna. The pair have been playing for the last three years, so they’ve put the hours and the cash in for a well-deserved win.
The kids will benefit from the win as she is going to decorate their bedrooms with some of the winnings, as well as planning a family holiday abroad. Her win is one of several recent wins in the club with a large amount of cash being paid out, which is good news for the punters, and great for the club as well. In the current climate when we are constantly hearing bad news about the bingo industry as a whole it’s a welcome relief to here some good news. Newspaper story
