The first thing one does on winning a jackpot of 45,000 pounds in a national game is to treat all the money to oneself. However there are some people who are not so selfish, like the 59 year old Sheffield woman who had won the jackpot.

Instead of spending the money on herself, she has plans of treating her mother on a cruise planned as one of the ways of spending her winnings. She told National Bingo that she was shocked when she was informed of the win.

And when she found out how much she had won, it took a long time for the fact to sink in. She hopes to avoid this sinking feeling for a little longer with the cruise yet to come around the corner.

She had managed to win the jackpot in 42 calls at the Gala Bingo club located in Halifax Road. This is not the first time that a claim for a jackpot was made in a Sheffield venue.

The past few years have seen numerous UK bingo jackpot winners in the city’s Gala bingo and Mecca Bingo halls. In fact, these halls have recorded more than 986,000 pounds in winnings to players in the city’s bingo halls from July 2004 to October 2006.
