As I settled down one evening in March 2019, flicking through channels on the TV, I had a thought. ‘I might try online bingo,’ I said to myself. My friends had been telling me for ages how much they liked to play, so clicking on to the Woman Bingo website on my phone, I decided to sign up.
I was even more excited when I saw the welcome offer for new members, where you can choose either free bingo tickets or slot spins once you deposit and play your first £10.
At first, not knowing how it all works I thought I might miss my bingo numbers when they came up, or not understand how to play.
Only, it was so simple, and 10 minutes in I was happily playing a game in Bingo Lounge, a 75-ball bingo room.
The numbers started rolling out, and I was joining in on the excitement with others in the chat room.
Then, suddenly, my phone started flashing. My username was lit up on the screen and I quickly realized I’d not only won the Jackpot but the Full House as well! All of my numbers had been called quickly enough for me to win both cash prizes! ‘£3,952!’ I beamed, amazed.
