Margaret Ann Venables plays at Gala Bingo in Fenton every Wednesday. But one fateful bingo game, she managed to pick up a massive bingo jackpot to the tune of £874,208.00! The lucky Gala member has very generously decided to share the huge jackpot with her fellow bingo players at the club.
The 52-year-old mother of four won a High 5 game and decided to share her jackpot amongst all of the club's members at the game that night. Margaret was quoted to have said, "My mother died two months ago and I was sitting in her seat, playing with my youngest sister. I really felt her presence with me all night."
The Gala High 5 win was a big surprise for Margaret, who thought she had simply won the full house prize of £7,362. But because she had called house on the number 5, her win rocketed up to over £800k. Margaret, who is a single mum, scooped up half (amounting to £437k and change) and left the remainder for the rest of the club members, so that everyone playing that night walked away with £1,185 just for being in the right place at the right time.
What a great bingo story, just in time for Christmas too. Said Margaret, "I'm delighted to win such a huge amount, which I'll be sharing with my sister. I feel like my mum, who supported me when she was alive, has made sure I'll be ok without her... This win has not only changed my life but has made a difference to the lives of all of my friends at the [bingo] club. Everyone was coming up to me thanking me. I felt like Christmas had come early."
