Louise Donnelly, 36, from Co Derry, used her cash prize to spruce up her new place...
Walking into my new house, I slipped off my shoes and popped them into my swanky new cabinet. No muddy shoes would be ruining my lovely new cream carpet!
I’d just bought a fancy new unit that had drawers to put our shoes in, as well as the new carpets, wallpaper and lamps in my hallway and lounge.
You see, a few months ago I’d had a jackpot win when I was playing Woman Bingo, so I’d used the money to spruce up my new house.
It was September 2016 when I hit the jackpot. One evening I’d logged in to my account and bought tickets for the link games in both Tiki Bingo and Sapphire Bingo.
One number to go…
A linked game is a special event that brings together selected rooms, where you have the chance to win a bigger prize if you get the full house. That evening £1,000 was up for grabs. The tickets cost 10p each, so I’d only spent 20p.
