Jean Tierney, 48, from Glasgow, was overwhelmed when she realised that she had scooped £1,701.
Strolling through Glasgow city centre, I stopped for the umpteenth time to gaze in the window of my favourite handbag shop.
I absolutely love handbags and the displays in this shop always caught my eye. In particular, there was a camel-coloured bag that had taken my fancy. ‘That’s next on my list’, I thought to myself.
The designer handbag came with a designer price tag, but there was no harm in looking and lusting… Little did I know that a couple of months later, in January this year, I’d find myself inside the very same shop, ready to buy that handbag!
And the reason I had an unexpected chunk of extra money at my disposal? In January I won the jackpot playing Woman’s Own Bingo!
Trying new games
I’d been feeling under the weather with a flu-like virus that was doing the rounds. I’d read my book for most of the day and flicked through the telly, but then I decided to play a few games on Woman’s Own Bingo.

'THAT'S NOT MY BABY'
Lying in the hospital bed, my husband Michael had tears of happiness in his eyes as he showed me a photo on his phone. 'Here she is,' he said proudly. 'This is our beautiful baby girl.'I stared at the photo and shook my head. 'No, that's not my baby,' I said. 'There must be a mistake.'It was August 2010 and I'd not long before had an emergency caesarean. I'd not had a chance to see Winnie when she arrived as she'd been whisked away for tests because she was nearly two months premature.
