Listen to this article:A woman from Dundee was left emotional and “burst into tears” after winning an “astonishing” £50,000 jackpot during an afternoon visit to Mecca Bingo at Douglasfield’s Eclipse Leisure Park in Scotland.
The lucky Mecca Dundee bingo winner scooped the jackpot on Thursday, October 30, which quickly led to celebrations at the club. The regular player realised that she had completed a full house in only 13 calls, far quicker than the 16-number threshold required to hit the top National Bingo Game prize.
At the beginning of this year, another lucky Mecca Bingo player in Croydon won a £50k jackpot while playing the National Bingo Game.
The winner, who prefers to remain anonymous, had already enjoyed a small win earlier in the afternoon. However, she never expected to win the full house prize in her wildest dreams.
Describing the atmosphere, Mecca Dundee’s Lesley King said:
“It was absolutely astonishing. To match all ten numbers in 16 calls is always a cause for celebration, but to do it in 13 is just amazing. To quote Kate Garraway, I was flabbergasted. It’s the biggest win on the lowest number of calls that I’ve ever come across.”
The lucky winner immediately phoned her husband, who apparently didn’t believe her at first. As Lesley explained, “She rang her husband to tell him that she’d won, but he didn’t believe her until her friend took the phone and said you need to come down to Mecca.”
It was the third time in just seven months that a player at the same Mecca place has hit the £50,000 National Bingo Game jackpot, confirming that the club in Dundee is one of the luckiest bingo venues in the UK.
Lesley added, “I’m just delighted for the customer. The magic of big wins is fantastic to see – the sheer joy when they realise it’s not a dream, and they really have won £50,000! It’s a brilliant feeling.”
The National Bingo Game is one of the most exciting daily bingo events in the UK, giving players the chance to win life-changing jackpots twice a day at participating clubs. Tickets start at just £1, giving players two chances to win, while £2 buys a set of five tickets. It is a straightforward 90-ball bingo game. Players just have to mark off numbers as they are called, and the first to complete a full house wins their club’s prize and may also win one of the National Bingo Game prizes.
The prizes up for grabs include £100 for completing a full house in 24 calls or fewer, £1,000 for hitting it in 20 calls or fewer, and the £50,000 top prize for achieving a full house within 16 calls. Any jackpot won is awarded in addition to the in-club prize, which means that winners come away with a huge amount of cash.
The National Bingo Game doesn’t just offer the main game. At many clubs, you can also take part in National Live, National Cash, and National Bullseye. Each of these games offers different formats and sizes of jackpots.
National Live features fast-paced 80-number play with prizes ranging from £2,000 to £10,000 depending on the day and session. National Cash has jackpots of up to £5,000 on £1 games, while National Bullseye delivers classic bingo action with jackpots of up to £500. All of these games run throughout the day, so players have continual opportunities to win big prizes in addition to the prizes being offered at their chosen bingo clubs.
If the victory of the lucky Mecca Dundee bingo winner inspired you, next time you visit your favourite bingo club, be sure to ask about the National Bingo Game options, and with a bit of luck, you could be the next big winner.
