A DUNFERMLINE bingo player has won a life-changing jackpot prize of £50,000!

The woman saw her numbers come up on Wednesday night last week while playing at Carlton Bingo at Fife Leisure Park.

The lucky winner, who asked to remain anonymous, was enjoying her regular evening bingo session when it took an unexpected and exciting turn.

While playing the National Bingo Game she saw all her numbers come out and shouted ‘house’ on what she knew was the club prize, but was completely speechless when the caller confirmed her claim was good and that she had also won a £50,000 jackpot prize.

The woman was formerly a regular at the club’s previous location at the Alhambra in Canmore Street, and loves her bingo, as it’s a great social night out with friends, she says.

Once the tears of joy had subsided she confessed to being totally shocked by the win, but that she is also a firm believer that you have to be in it to win it.

Graham Lowson, general manager at Carlton Bingo Dunfermline said: “We were all very excited on the night of the win and it was great to see such a huge National Bingo Game prize go to a regular player here at Carlton Bingo: it really is a great feeling when a customer gets a big win and to hear the club cheer.

“The club is no stranger to big wins, we had three £50,000 winners before, and Carlton Bingo is on a winning streak as yesterday afternoon Carlton Partick also had a thrilled £50,000 winner – that’s what I call afternoon delight!”

His comments were echoed by Alastair Stewart, business development manager at the National Bingo Game, who said: “We are thrilled for our lucky National Bingo Game £50,000 Jackpot Dunfermline bingo winner and hope that she enjoys her winnings.

"We love making winners and this is our second Scottish £50,000 winner this week!”
