A LOCAL woman has hit a bingo jackpot.

The lucky winner, Shirley from Leeds, is the seventh winner of the £50,000 jackpot in a two-week period for Buzz Bingo customers playing the National Game.

The 58-year-old beat thousands of players live across the country to clinch the prize in 16 numbers at the club off Pudsey Road where she has been a regular for 23 years.

Buzz Bingo players have celebrated as many £50,000 wins in 2019 to date as they did in the whole of 2018 on National Bingo Game, taking home a combined total of more than £3m from all the National Bingo Games across £100, £1,000 and £50,000 wins.

Says Shirley: “I’m so grateful to have won the £50,000 jackpot! The most I have ever won is £2,500 so I couldn’t quite believe it. I still find myself shaking when I tell people about it.”

Buzz Bingo is hosting a party to celebrate the lucky jackpot winner at the Stonebridge Lane club, on June 8.

“A huge thanks to Buzz Bingo, the staff were amazing when we won and we were treated like superstars! I very much look forward to splitting it with my friend, Dawn, who was with me on the night. I’ll be treating myself and my family to a skiing holiday in Sweden or Finland next year," adds Shirley.

Brenda Eddy, General Manager at Buzz Bingo’s Leeds club, added: “Shirley’s win has been a hot topic of conversation in our club. The customers are genuinely happy for our winner and the atmosphere around the club has been amazing. We will be hosting a party night to celebrate our winner with the other members.”

To win the top £50,000 prize, players must call a full-house of 10 numbers within 16 numbers being called, whilst racing against the rest of the nation’s bingo players live on the night to clinch the big prize.
