Listen to this article:A very lucky bingo player hit a £62,000 jackpot at the Mecca Bingo club in Thanet when playing the Big Bonus bingo game.
The winner, who has chosen to remain anonymous, is a regular player at the club in Westwood Cross and has been visiting since it opened in 2008.
Becca Hale, the bingo caller, was covering for her colleague who was on a tea break when the win took place and she had the pleasure of informing the player how much they had won. Speaking about the moment, Becca said:
“With the Big Bonus jackpot growing over the past few weeks, everyone was pretty excited, but when the claim came in, the winner hadn’t realised how big the prize pot was. She was in complete shock when I told her how much she won and when I announced it the whole club erupted in cheers!”
On the night of the win, Jackie Lovett was working as duty manager, she added:
“I’ve worked here since the club opened 17 years ago, and it’s the biggest win that I’ve witnessed. The winner and her daughter were totally overwhelmed and left the venue in complete shock. It’s fantastic getting to know and build relationships with our customers, and making someone’s day with a win of this size is the icing on the cake!”
The Big Bonus game has been running for just over a year at Mecca Bingo clubs. It takes place six times a day and costs just £1 to enter. It is a progressive jackpot that continues to grow until a player calls house within the first 44 calls. While the jackpot is won quite often, the £62,000 is the biggest won so far this year.
There is never a shortage of ways to win big prizes at Mecca Bingo. For instance, this weekend (Friday 28 to Sunday 30 March) is the Big Money Weekend. Each club is hosting games with extra-large prizes. The prize money differs from club to club. At the Thanet club, where the jackpot was won, there will be ten games with £500 full house prizes on Friday, thirty games with £100 prizes on Saturday, and on Sunday, there will be six games with £1,000 prizes and five games with £500 prizes.
Better yet, all ladies will receive free chocolates during the afternoon and evening sessions in honour of Mother’s Day. Mecca Bingo is also featured in our March online bingo promotions, regularly showcasing exciting events like this one for players to enjoy.
Then, on Thursday, 3 April, Mecca is offering bingo and a burger for just £10. Simply show the voucher in the app at Booksales between 7 pm and 9 pm to qualify for the promotion. There is even more to look forward to next week. On the evening of Friday, 4 April, there is once again the chance to pay for extra-large prizes, such as eight £500 full house prizes at the Thanet club.
There are a number of promotions coming up next week. For instance, on 1 April, to mark April Fool’s Day, the It’s No Joke promotion is taking place. Visitors to Mecca Clubs are able to download a voucher to the app that will entitle them to a free Main Game book or an extra set of 6 tickets on electronic Max.
As always, for those who can’t make it to a Mecca club, there are plenty of online promotions, such as the £120K Big Game on Tuesday, 1 April, the chance to spin the Viking Winner Spinner for free prizes every day, and the £15,000 Big Bingo Game every Saturday. It seems that every week brings new jackpot winners at Mecca, and there is no reason why you can’t be the next.
