Mr
Frankie Lowell was relaxing in front of the television when the
telephone rang. He thought it was somebody trying to sell him
something so he left it for a few minutes before answering. The
ringing was persistent and when he could no longer ignore it he
picked it up. “Yes?” he snapped gruffly into the mouthpiece.
It was his wife Soraya. She had been out with her friend and neighbour
Agnes O’Neill for an evening of fun at the local Bingo parlour
in Coatbridge in Lanarkshire. They had decided to play the National
Bingo Game. This
is a game that is networked across several hundred Bingo
clubs. A central computer controls the game and the calls
are relayed to each participating club simultaneously. It is a
very popular way of playing Bingo
not least because the prizes can be very high and there are several
big jackpot games. One of these jackpots is called the Platinum
Jackpot and as the name suggests it is a large one. The Platinum
Jackpot is a rollover jackpot that was inspired by the National
Lottery in order to offer prizes of over £1 million.
Soraya
just needed the number 90, and it was called. Quick as a flash
she called house and the prize, all £1,167,796 of it, was
hers.
Soraya tried to tell her husband about the win over the phone
but there was so much commotion and excitement that he did not
completely understand what she was saying, and when he did make
out what she was telling him he thought it was a wind up. He passed
the phone over to the couples daughter who listened to the story
and found out that it was a fact that her mum had won. “It’s
true dad” she said.
Soraya said that she would share the prize with Agnes, her long
time friend. Despite winning so much money Soraya only took a
few days off work before going back to work as a cleaner. The
bingo win will certainly
make a big difference to her and her family and to Agnes as well.
