I’ve had the occasional win while playing bingo but I’ve never quite reached six figures, unlike one woman from the south of England.

The individual, who wished to remain anonymous, scooped an impressive jackpot of £250,000, the East Anglian Daily Times reports.

As well as securing the top prize, she helped many other people playing in the hall at that time get more than £500 each through a High 5 game.

Commenting on her success, she stated: "I am absolutely ecstatic with the win. It hasn’t sunk in yet. I’m going to spend the money on home improvements and a holiday."

The lucky player also noted that she and her friend had been taking part in the activity for 14 years and had always dreamed of cashing in like this.

Meanwhile, manager of the bingo hall Steve Riley revealed that the rest of the players were in shock after the win and it "took a while" for them to calm down.

Recently, an online bingo player who goes by the online moniker of Millane won £55,007 while playing over the web.

Are you due a win?

Keep playing, bingo lovers.
