Bingo Night Out

So, being an avid online bingo fan, I decided that I would see what offline halls could offer and compare it against playing on the internet. I took a trip to my local Mecca Bingo hall with a group of friends.

Having not visited a bingo hall for over 8 years, I was surprised at how big the venue actually was. You could fit a whole army for bingo heads in the hall, with hundreds of tables and seats sprawled across the gaming floor.

After getting a few drinks in a settling down, the national game began. The hall went silent as the numbers starting being called out. Only full houses were valid and the national jackpot was a staggering £20,000

Their was a bar and also a restaurant serving up some tasty looking meals. We purchased our tickets and made our way to some seats. No one was lucky in this game, but it was only the start of the night. Next we opened up the book of 6 tickets.

Players could win either one line, two lines or a full house and it wasn’t long before we had our first winner! A lucky friend shouted out bingo claiming two lines! The call was verified and she won a whopping £500 in cash!

We celebrated like made and continued the games. Overall it was a great night, full of fun, laughter and wins. I must say, visiting a hall is more fun and sociable, but as soon as I got home, I logged straight onto my Gala Bingo account and had a cheeky few games before going to bed. With no luck I concluded that it just wasn’t my day!

Fridays Euro Millions is £89 million

With this Friday’s Euro Millions estimated Jackpot is a cool £89 million, players numbers are expected to spike. One of the biggest bingo lottery games in the world the Euro Millions has changed the lives of many.

Everyone remembers the lucky Irish lady who won €132 million and Mrs Kelly from Glasgow Scotland who won £35.4 million. After waiting three days the 47 year-old checked her ticket to find she had become a multi millionaire.

According to a colleague at the post office where Mrs Kelly worked, she was in hysterics, “Everyone was cheering and we had to sit her down and give her a cup of tea.”

With £89 million in your bank account their not much you couldn’t do. Have an early retirement, a summer cruise, a shiny new Ferrari, a summer home in the Hamptons, or maybe all of the above.

To be in with a chance of winning this week’s jackpot head over to NationalLottery.co.uk and ‘it could be you’.

Tickets cost £1.50 each with the live draw on Friday, the draw closes at 7.30pm.

Wink Bingo’s Brilliant Promotions

Bingo promotions are constantly on offer at many of the different online bingo operators. However not many big prize draws end in a tie.

Wink Bingo was the exception when their Christmas Special, which culminated on the 1st January 2009, ended with two wink bingo regulars both winning the top prize of a brand new Mini Cooper.

After agreeing to a play-off draw, both players once again picked their lucky numbers and played in Wink Bingo’s first huge prize play off.

This time round a winner was crowned with Ms Kane from Lancashire winning herself a shiny new Mini Cooper.

Keeping with their great promotions, Wink Bingo’s latest is their summer ‘Wink Bingo says take a break’ promo.

Wink are offering one lucky player the chance of a life, with £3,000 up for grabs to go towards a summer holiday.

Players will gain entry into the draw by exchanging 500 winktastic points, or by pre-buying a £5 ticket.

The draw will be held on Monday May 4th at 8pm and will end with someone being £3,000 richer!
