A woman from Chester, who has requested not to be named, took home a £23,000 bingo jackpot from a Mecca Bingo Club in Brook Dale Place. The 43-year-old mom won the National Bingo Game prize of £20,000, plus the regional prize of £3,301 and the house prize of £169.

“I couldn't believe it when I found out how much I had won. I thought I might be in with a chance for the regional prize but never thought I'd scoop the national,” the lucky winner commented. “Everyone in the club was congratulating me and there was a great atmosphere.”

The mom-of-two also said she has been a member of the Mecca Bingo Club for 18 years and this is the first time she wins such a big prize. Previously, she scooped smaller prizes including a £300 jackpot, her biggest win until now. When asked how she would spend the money, the winner said the first thing she plans to do is have a holiday with her family.

Although the national prize the evening this lucky lady won was £62,100, she had to share the jackpot with two other players, one in Sunderland and one in Hull, who also called full house in 44 numbers.
