A bored housewife from Oxfordshire won £1.3million for a £5 stake on Ladbrokes Bingo while hubby watch Euro 2012.
She hit the jackpot playing an online slot machine only due to boredom whilst her husband was watching Euro 2012 – as he has been every day through the tournament so far – and won the entire rollover jackpot on her second spin.
She said: “I had a spare minute and wanted to get away from the football so logged on. As soon as I saw the size of the jackpot I thought it was worth a go and couldn’t believe my eyes when it said I’d won.”
“I can’t remember much after that as it’s such a blur. My kids came into the room and we all started screaming together – it’s like a madhouse in here.”
The winner plans to spend the money on a new house and car, as well as taking her entire family on holiday: “We’re a normal family so this will change my life forever. The first thing we’re going to do is buy a new house before treating ourselves.”
Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: “We’re absolutely over the moon for her. It’s one of the biggest wins of all time and we’ve sent the champers along to kick off the celebrations.”
She added: “We bet she’ll never moan at her man for watching the footy again!”
Daily Sport says – We can see a trend starting here of hubby saying “Stop moaning and go and win a few million on the bingo.”
