A LUCKY woman from Burnley has scooped more than £85,000 at her local bingo club.
On Friday she became the biggest winner in the new Gala High 5 game, which allows bingo clubs to run cumulative jackpots.
The win came as a massive surprise to the player who initially thought she'd only won the full house prize of £3,889, but because she called house on the number 15, her win rocketed to £85,054.
Geoff Old, club manager at Burnley, says the win is a bonus for his club which anticipates a 10 per cent winner every five to six days and an overall jackpot winner every 45 days.
He said: "We're delighted to have announced our first club winner of Gala High 5 and the biggest 10 per cent winner so far!"
The lady, who wishes to remain anonymous, is the 12th winner since the game launched in September.
A total of £557,534 has now been won.
