Sisters take each-other to court over bingo win

A nasty little dispute has erupted between three UK land-bingo playing sisters who are taking each other to court over a £50,000 win according to a Sky News report.

Siblings Linda Kenny and Doreen Thomas are teaming up against their sister Edna Sexton in a bid to get an alleged share of the £50,000 that they say she backed out on paying. The two plaintiffs say they had all agreed to split the winnings three ways after the win on a National Game ticket at the Buckingham Bingo Palace in Hunts Cross, Liverpool last June.

Both Linda and Doreen are suing Edna for £16,666 each plus interest.

In her defense, Mrs Sexton says the three sisters had made a different agreement in which payments over £1,000 were not split.

According to Sky News, the case continues.

My bet is that Edna has already splurged on the winnings and doesn’t have any prize money left to split. As for Linda and Doreen, maybe they should think about getting involved with an online bingo hall and putting their efforts into learning how to win and play online bingo games. There are plenty of great prizes to be won in online bingo, such as Wink Bingo’s £1,000 Guaranteed Jackpot – now there’s something they could put their effort into.
