‘It's time for our next adventure!'

Norma Shaw, 67, from Oldham, is planning a voyage to the East with her £1,000 win

For my husband Bernard, 76, and I, traveling is one of life’s real pleasures, and we’ve been lucky enough to see some beautiful places, including the Amazon and Zambezi rivers.

With five grown-up children between us and 11 grandchildren, our lives are full, but we go on new adventures whenever we can, always planning our next exciting trip.

When we’re relaxing at home though, one of my favourite things to do is to play on Woman’s Own Bingo.

It was a Monday evening in September 2019 and as I got comfortable in the living room, I picked up my laptop and logged on to the website.

Bernard was on a call and I could hear him nattering away in the conservatory. I spent £3, buying 30 tickets at 10p each for the next Sapphire Bingo game. I waited as the game started up and I only took my eyes off the screen for a few seconds.

A surprise win
