A LUCKY bingo-goer in Poole scooped £50,000 in a national game jackpot.

Kathy Jardine was the lucky winner when she called ‘house’ at Buzz Bingo in Tower Park, Poole, on Saturday, August 21.

She plans to spend the winnings on a holiday treat for her and her family.

The bingo regular has worked as an independent driving instructor for 16 years and intends to put any prize money left over from the holiday into her savings.

Buzz Bingo’s chief retail officer at Buzz Bingo, Peter Brigden, was pleased to see a Poole resident win the life-changing money.

He said: “The atmosphere in the club when there’s a big win is always incredible, and we’re delighted to see a £50,000 National Game win at Buzz Bingo Poole.

“Overall Buzz Bingo players win more than £2m per week in bingo prize money. It’s great to celebrate a win and have the rest of the bingo community celebrate that too.”

Ms Jardine has been attending Buzz Bingo for many years and is said to love to visit the venue once a week in her free time.

The club manager in Poole, Mark, said that the team “couldn’t be happier for Kathy and her fantastic win.

“Everyone was cheering from their seats, it was such an exciting moment," he added.
