BINGO fans at Darwen's Earcroft Community Association have hit the jackpot thanks to a donation from Blackburn-based brewery Daniel Thwaites.
Thwaites' Charitable Trust has handed over an electronic calling machine for the group to use while playing at Hollins Grove Church.
The trust's Jill Hargreaves said: "They used to draw numbers out of a bag so this is a little more up to date.
"It is pleasing to be able to help people across all sections of society."
ECA chairperson Jean Douglas added: "It is a wonderful gesture by Thwaites.
"We rely on this kind of goodwill and cannot thank them enough."
