The lucky lady has been playing bingo for ten years but only plays once in every four to six weeks. She wants to use some of the money to take her husband on a holiday somewhere hot and sunny, a few home improvements and the balance she will save for a rainy day.

She says that she really enjoys playing at the Mecca Bingo club and prefers it much more since it became a non-smoking club, she has also heard a lot of other people say that they prefer the non-smoking environment. It has a good atmosphere and is a nice friendly place. I am sure that many non-smokers would agree with her.

The trend for younger people to play online bingo is also it seems, applying to the land-based form of the game.

The latest winner in a line up of young women who have been going home from the bingo with small fortunes in their pockets, is a twenty-seven year old woman from Leeds. The lucky young lady was playing for the first time in two years at the Mecca Bingo Club in New York Street, Leeds. When to her surprise she called full house in 44 numbers and won the very worthwhile National bingo prize of £45,000.

She and her two friends liked to play bingo, and had enjoyed it before so on the spur of the moment decided to take a jaunt to the Mecca, where, when she won, she didn’t believe what the club was telling her. She says that she went quite red in the face on hearing the news! Her lucky friends will get to share her prize and she will definitely be spending some of it on a holiday.
