UK mum claims the biggest bingo win

UK land-based bingo is all abuzz over what may be the world’s biggest bingo win after a Hamilton woman landed £1.2 million at her local club.

Hamilton mum Soraya Lowell called a full house while playing at the Club 3000 bingo hall in Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, and won the National Bingo Game’s Platinum Jackpot.

Lowell immediately said she would be splitting her winnings with her bingo partner Agnes O’Neill. In a statement to the Daily Record she said: “We always share whatever either of us wins and this time will be no different.”

Soraya’s win of £1,167,795, tops the previous bingo record win of £1.1million by Christine Bradfield last January.

Despite a troubled time for land-based bingo clubs with many patrons turning to online bingo games and online bingo halls as an alternative, the latest huge win should provide a boost for an industry still reeling from a recently imposed smoking ban and double taxation.
