A lucky winner has won the top prize of £253,000 at a Gala Bingo club in Hounslow.
The winning lady who has chosen to remain anonymous was playing at the Staines Road Gala Bingo club. The lady won the full house prize money of £3,000 and as she had hit the 'High 5 jackpot', she got a further £125,000 taking her prize money to £128,000.

All of the other 32 players at the club will now be her best friend - they share the other half of the £250,000 'High 5 Jackpot' fund meaning that just for going to bingo they will each receive £3,906.25.

Lynda McNamara, 64, one of the individuals who took home a share of the winnings said: "I have been going to Gala Hounslow since it opened and was sat in my regular seat very close to the jackpot winner when she shouted ‘house’. We were all so excited for her.

"When we realised that we were all winners too you would have thought there were a thousand people in the room with all the noise. I plan to take my grandchildren to Disneyland, which I would have never been able to afford without this win. It really has been life changing for us all; it’s like a dream come true”

Gala General Manager Rick Espey commented: “The winner has been coming to the club for many years and we were all so excited for her when she shouted ‘house’. The whole club was clapping and cheering and the atmosphere was electric..... Because of the way that the High 5 game works, everyone who was playing that afternoon won some money which made it especially nice.”
