Bingo Jackpot Winners

Ever since Lynsey Mirehouse from Cumbria recently won a massive £1.2 million jackpot from her favorite Mecca Bingo club, the bingo industry has been abuzz as to what might qualify as the biggest ever bingo haul ever. Lynsey Mirehouse, who uses the alias house73 in bingo chat rooms, won the huge bounty on the Clover Rollover game and said, “I was at home playing on Mecca while my husband was watching the television. I had been playing the Clover Rollover for several weeks trying to win the jackpot. I must have blinked as I didn’t see the clovers roll in, the screen just started flashing and music was playing and a sign came up saying I had won the progressive jackpot. I just shouted “I’ve won, I’ve won!”

Another big winner, Belle08, won £111k from an initial bet of just £1.80 on her Lucky Ladies slot machine from Mecca Bingo. “Belle08” said she that she was so surprised that she felt like she was going to have a stroke when she realized the quantum of her winnings. Belle08 generously parted with some of her earnings and shared them with her sister. “I have given my sister some of the money and plan to invest the rest. Oh and I would like to go to Australia. I just want to say a big thank you to Mecca Bingo and Bingo Dave for all your help and for my great win,” she said.

Mecca has had the lion’s share of millionaire bingo winners, scoring its first in September 2007 when it was first allowed to roll over stake money. The first Mecca Bingo Millionaire was a 42 year old mother of two, who won a little over a million dollars playing with her long time bingo partner, her mother.

Gala Bingo also gave away a million dollars two years ago in a hugely publicized KerChingo bingo match, which also saw the coming together of online, TV and land based bingo. The game was broadcast through Gala TV and streamed online. This was perhaps, the biggest jackpot ever won on a pure bingo game until that date.

Also, Christine Bradfield from the Bargoed in Caerphilly County won over £1.1 million playing at Castle Club in Merthyr Tydfil in January 2008. This jackpot game is hosted across 470 clubs in the UK and is believed to be among the biggest in the world. Her massive haul of £1,101,686 came from £1,018,233 as the Platinum Jackpot prize, £80,000 from the National Game Prize, £3121 as Zone Prize and a Club prize of £335. This jackpot remains arguably, the biggest pure bingo jackpot ever, for any single person.
