An assistant bingo manager at The Palace bingo hall in Felixstowe, Suffolk has won £1 million on a National Lottery scratchcard. However, even after scooping a life changing jackpot, she doesn’t plan to quit her bingo hall job.

Audrey White, 58, didn’t even mean to purchase the £5 scratchcard as she planned to purchase a £2 card but the shop sales assistant gave her the wrong one.

Her huge win comes just three years after Nat West tried to repossess her home, and she was diagnosed with cancer.

She told the Felixstowe Evening Star: “It really hasn’t sunk in - it’s just unbelievable.

“When I scratched off the panels and it said £1 million, I just sat and stared at it for 20 minutes.

“People keep saying I didn’t know you could win a million pounds on a scratchcard, but everyone seems to be so happy for me.

“The first thing I am going to do is to pay off my mortgage and do a few home improvements such as a conservatory.

“I don’t drive so I won’t need a flash car, and I am not one for exotic holidays. I am not going to change anything right away and plan to carry on working - but it’s surprisingg to think I have that security and will never have to worry about money again.

Mrs White works at The Palace bingo and cinema complex in Crescent Road, Felixstowe. She bought her scratchcard at the  Tesco supermarket in Hamilton Road.

Mrs White was nearly repossessed by NatWest in 2006 over a £5,000 overdraft. Despite having paid £20,000 in interest the bank insisted she owed another £18,000 in interest. The matter was eventually settled.

We are seeing more and more players make the jump from paid bingo sites to Costa Bingo purely because of the high quality entertainment on offer and the massive jackpots which we regularly pay out to our winners. Our TV advertising helps to further raise the awareness of free bingo, and we are confident many more players will start making the move to costabingo.com in the near future.”
