Many people will have enjoyed some time at their local bingo club over the holiday season. However, few likely enjoyed as much excitement as a pensioner from Bristol who experienced a Christmas miracle of her very own when she won a £100,000 jackpot at the bingo hall in Fishponds.
The winner has chosen to remain anonymous, but it is known that she is an 80-year-old who is a regular at the club. In fact, a few months ago she celebrated her birthday with a party at the same club.
She hit the big bingo win on Saturday, December 21, just in time for Christmas, and said that she had planned to get her carpets cleaned before Christmas but will instead treat herself to brand new carpets and treat her family over the festive season.
Speaking after the win, Chris Perkins, the club manager at Buzz Bingo, said:
“Unbelievable to have a £100K winner ahead of Christmas. What a wonderful way to ring in the festive season and the new year. I’m overjoyed that our wonderful bingo player is able to celebrate this fantastic win and spoil their family this holiday.”
A couple of months ago, we shared a similar story about a £100K bingo jackpot shared between lifelong friends.
While no other details have been provided by Buzz Bingo, it is likely that the woman was playing in Buzz Bingo’s £100,000 Big Money Live game that took place that day.
The Big Money Live games bring together online and club players across the nation. The games are run by live presenters who are broadcast from Buzz Bingo’s studio in Derby, with tickets normally costing just £1 for 6 tickets, and there are occasionally promotions offering cheaper tickets.
There are Big Money Live games taking place every day of the week, with £2,000 up for grabs in the afternoon session and £5,000 in the evening session. The afternoon session games also offer £100 for a line and £200 for 2 lines, while the evening sessions offer £200 for a line and £300 for two lines. If more than one player calls ‘House’ at the same time, then the top prize is shared.
In addition, there are special games with jackpots of £50,000 or £100,000, which take place on a regular basis and it is always worth keeping an eye out for them. There are also several other jackpots available to be won in Buzz Bingo’s clubs, including a £50,000 prize for calling ‘House’ in 40 numbers or less, a Party Time Special jackpot worth £10,000, a Safe Cracker jackpot, and more.
Buzz Bingo works hard to build a sense of community amongst its players, both online and at its clubs, and that is one of the reasons why it launched its Big Money Live games. Speaking about the games, Dave Evans, the chief product officer at Buzz Bingo, explained:
“Big Money Live is a game-changer. By combining online bingo rooms with our fantastic clubs, we’ve created a shared experience that builds community and excitement. With regular six-figure full houses and a chance to win from anywhere in the UK, only Buzz Bingo players can enjoy this revolutionary bingo experience.”
The bingo operator, licensed by the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner, also does a great deal to help newcomers, such as offering them free bingo on their first visit to a club together with special deals on food and drink, and slots. They also offer online players a bingo and slots bonus, ensuring everyone feels welcome, and while not everyone will be lucky enough to land a £100,000 jackpot. There are certainly plenty of opportunities to win, just like the lucky lady with her Christmas bingo jackpot.
