The 3^rd May 2008 is a day that will live long in the memory of one lucky Gala bingo winner, because it is the day that he took home more than £400,000 in prize money having won the Platinum Bingo prize at a Gala bingo hall in Camberwell. The courier driver, who wishes to remain anonymous, usually plays at the Gala club in Crystal Palace but found himself playing in the Camberwell club as a one off stroke of fortune.

In an interview, the lucky father of two said he would use the money to pay off his mortgage and to repay his 24 year old son’s student loan. The man also has a 14 year old son who is certain to benefit from the win.

The prize was so large because he claimed a full house on the 41^st ball, which was the lowest number of all players nationwide. He also called house with the last ball called being the number 90 so claimed the Platinum rollover prize as well as the house prize.

The total prize money was £410,907. While the 58 year old winner won in a Gala club, you could play online with Gala Bingo, one of the most prominent bingo companies. Alternatively take a look at some of the online bingo offers to make the most of your time playing online bingo.
