A woman has celebrated good news in typical British fashion – asking for her favourite cup of tea after landing £125,000 at bingo.

The mystery player from Paisley was “shaking and burst into tears with shock” after learning that she had won the staggering prize.

She had made a last-minute decision to attend the event that evening and ended up scooping the jackpot at the National Bingo Game.

Connor Wilson, the caller on the night, describes the extraordinary event.

“The winner shouted house and initially thought she’d won £1,000, which she was really pleased with,” he said.

“When we verified her win and clarified that she’d actually won £125,000 she started shaking and burst into tears with shock.

“I offered her a bottle of bubbly to celebrate but she just wanted a cup of tea!”

The winner, who wants to remain anonymous, regularly plays bingo with her family at the venue on Saucel Crescent.

Connor says the club erupted with cheers when he broke the news over the microphone.

He said: “It was our Big Money Weekend, and with the National Game’s special jackpot too, the club was busier than ever.

“When we realised the size of her prize I could barely get the words out.

“I was so excited for her, I almost felt like I’d won it myself!”

And after three years of making winners, Connor will be hanging up his mike this summer, as he embarks on a new career as a teacher, as reported by What’s The Jam.

He added: “It’s wonderful to give away a prize this big to one of our lovely regulars before I leave.”

General manager at Mecca Bingo Paisley, Grant Munro, added: “We’re always thrilled for our winners but to scoop £125,000 on the National Bingo Game jackpot is a real cause for celebration – with whichever tipple you prefer!”

The National Bingo Game is played twice a day during 364 days a year at all Mecca Clubs.
