A win for Lynne Eastman, 64, from North Wales, gave her something extra to celebrate
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a member of Woman’s Own Bingo and playing a few games online is a fun part of the week for me. I’d never played bingo before I joined, but doing it online couldn’t be easier.
My favourite game is Tiki Bingo. It’s just a penny a ticket for a game in a 90-ball bingo room. I usually buy 12 tickets, costing me a total of 12p. Mostly I log on in the morning – being retired, I tend to play during the day.
I set up my computer in the kitchen, buy my tickets and usually potter about a bit, cooking or reading the paper in between games. The computer ticks my numbers off automatically, so I don’t have to worry about missing anything.
A jewel of a win
It was the Emerald Room where I had my first big win, in January of this year. I don’t often play Emerald because Tiki really is my favourite game, but it was a link game, where a few of the bingo rooms join up, offering you the chance to win an even bigger Full House. So I bought myself two tickets.
