Mecca Gives Out £1.2m

Mecca Bingo has secured its reputation as one of the best and most generous of all bingo gaming organisations by shelling out over one million pounds to a lucky player. The female Mecca Bingo fan, who does not wish to be named, was playing bingo online at home when she scooped the one point two million pound jackpot prize. The woman was playing in the ‘Clover Rollover’ bingo room on the Mecca Bingo site, when the correct amount of clovers flashed up and an announcement on the screen told her that she had won a very large amount. She had been playing in the ‘Clover Rollover’ bingo room for a number of weeks, she said, without previously having any success. This lack of success in the past clearly does not matter now.

Nothing is known of the woman, however, despite the fact that she is one of the biggest online bingo winners ever. All we know of this lucky bingo winner is that she is from Cumbria, and that her online name in the bingo rooms was ‘house73’. She told the Mecca Bingo site that she was shocked by her huge windfall, as was her family. They are now planning on spending some of the prize money on a luxury family holiday. They are said to be ensure about what to do with the rest, but there is likely to be a large proportion of it left after the holiday.

One point two million pounds is a very large amount to be won on a bingo site, as usual jackpots are often more likely to be in the hundreds. Very well established sites such as Mecca Bingo are able to give away larger sums of money, but the rollover style of this game, called the ‘progressive jackpot’, meant that the woman in question was able to win a much larger amount. After her win the prize fund was reset to two hundred and fifty thousand pounds.
