A lucky Burnley bingo-goer has won £10,000 at their local bingo hall to put towards their new home.

The winner, who wished to remain anonymous, won the huge sum of money at Buzz Bingo in Centenary Way having previously been a regular at the hall and returning after a break.

The player said they were shocked and thrilled by their first major bingo win and said they would put their winnings towards purchasing a new house.

The winner called ‘HOUSE’ during the Party Time Special Jackpot Game on October 12.

Sarie Flaherty, general manager at Buzz Bingo Burnley, said: “We couldn’t be happier for our lucky winner and their fantastic win.

"Everyone was cheering from their seats – it was such an exciting moment.”

Stevie Shaves, chief operating officer at Buzz Bingo, said: “The atmosphere in the club when there’s a win is always incredible, and we’re delighted to see one of our lucky members win £10,000 on the Party Time Special Jackpot at Buzz Bingo Burnley.

“Overall Buzz Bingo players win more than £2 million a week in prize money and we love to celebrate every one of them with our amazing community.”
