Lucky Coatbridge bingo player scoops £50k prize - for the second time

An incredibly lucky woman from Coatbridge is £50,000 richer after she hit the bingo jackpot - and it's the second time she has scooped the top prize.

The fortuitous number-cruncher hit the five-figure sum for the second time at Buzz Bingo, at Faraday Retail Park, taking her total winnings to £100,000.

And clearly she has some good friends, because the selfless player has decided to split her latest jackpot with a close pal from the bingo.

The winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, is a regular at Buzz Bingo Coatbridge and often visits the club for a game with her friend.

She is also planning to use her share of the winnings to book her first holiday abroad with her newlywed son and daughter-in-law.

Angela Foley, general manager at Buzz Bingo Coatbridge, told Lanarkshire Live: "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."

Chief retail officer at Buzz Bingo, Peter Brigden, added: "The atmosphere in the club when there's a win is always incredible, and we're delighted to see another customer hit the £50,000 jackpot during the Big Buzz Special at Buzz Bingo Coatbridge.

"Overall, Buzz Bingo players win more than £2m per week in bingo prize money and have now won £3.5m in Big Buzz Special jackpots.

"It's great to celebrate a win and have the rest of the bingo community celebrate that too."
