Lynn bingo player scoops £28,000!
THERE were celebrations at a Lynn bingo club when a shocked player scooped more than £28,000 to start her weekend with a bang.
The lucky Lynn woman, who does not wish to be named, won the cash at the town's Gala Club in St James Street on Friday.
She was playing the club's new Gala High 5 games and as one of the three winners to call house on 65, won 28, 273 – a third of the game's total jackpot.
The win came as a complete surprise to the winner, who initially thought she had only won the full house prize of 3,493.
Lynn club manager Mr John Keech said: "We're delighted to have announced the first local winner of Gala High 5 in our club.
"The way the game works is very simple – if house is called on number five, players can claim 50 per cent of the rollover jackpot, while the remaining 50 per cent is shared by all the other players at the club.
"There's another chance to win if members call 'house' on a number ending with a five – in our winner's case number 65 – where 10 per cent of the total cash is still awarded."
