A mother and daughter from Glasgow have been incredibly lucky this month, winning big at the bingo not once, but twice. The duo managed to scoop a massive £50,000 jackpot while playing the National Bingo Game at Mecca Bingo in their city. Just a week before this big win, they had also won a £6,000 jackpot on Mecca’s Lucky Stars game.
This fortunate family prefers to remain anonymous, but they are regulars at the bingo venue in Glasgow’s Parkhead area where they struck gold. They always play together and share their winnings. The £50k jackpot is awarded to a player who matches all the numbers on their ticket and claims ‘house’ within the first 16 numbers called.
Stephanie Donlin, duty manager at Mecca Forge, was the one to break the news of their win to the mother-daughter duo. She mentioned how shocked they were at their incredible luck. The daughter had won the previous jackpot of £6,000 and was the one who hit the ‘claim’ button on her mother’s tablet during the big win. Despite knowing they had won something, they had no idea of the extent of their prize until Stephanie informed them.
Stephanie expressed her amazement at their back-to-back wins, emphasizing that bingo is a game of chance and speed. She added that it was truly remarkable for them to hit the jackpot twice in such a short span of time. The lucky pair remained calm and composed after their life-changing win, choosing to continue playing the game rather than celebrating.
This recent jackpot victory adds to the list of big wins in the Glasgow area this year, with a total of six significant wins in the National Bingo Game. Mecca Bingo in Glasgow has been particularly lucky, with one £125k jackpot at Mecca Paisley, two £50k wins at Mecca Drumchapel, and three £50k wins at Mecca Glasgow Forge.
The streak of luck in Glasgow has certainly made Mecca Bingo one of the luckiest regions for big jackpot wins. The mother-daughter duo’s story serves as a reminder that lightning can indeed strike twice, bringing unexpected fortune to those who least expect it.
