A woman has hit the jackpot, winning a colossal £1.4m in an online bingo game with a £2 stake. The win was made on Genie Jackpots on Tuesday, 5th of September and it's believed to be the biggest payout thus far according to Nottinghamshire Live.
Highest Stakes - Highest Win
The lucky Buzz Bingo player, who preferred to stay unnamed, admitted that the scale of the good news hadn't quite dawned on her yet. "I thought I’d won £100k at first but to find out it was over £1.3 million was just another level," she told reporters. "We all speak about what we'd do if we won, but now it's actually happened I’m not exactly sure. It hasn’t sunk in yet, but I’m just so happy."
Sharing the Spoils
Despite the shock, the delighted winner has already decided to share some of her windfall. "I do know that I’m going to share some with my brother, and I’d like to buy a bungalow for my mum. My neighbours have been really good to me through a difficult time of loss, so I’ll definitely be treating them too," she announced.
Celebration Plans
She also has celebratory plans up her sleeve. "I already had a trip to Skegness booked, so I’m going to celebrate there, relax and really think about what else I’ll do with the money," she declared.
Buzz Bingo's Reaction
David Evans, Digital Director at Buzz Bingo, expressed the company's joy about the momentous win. He said: "We’re ecstatic to be celebrating Pottsy25’s win - the biggest we’ve ever seen both at buzzbingo.com and in our clubs."
"To see a £2 stake turn into £1.38 million is absolutely mind-blowing and we couldn’t be happier for our lucky member. We absolutely love making winners and as our community continues to grow, we’re so excited to be part of the next life-changing win."
