Mystery Man Hits Huge Jackpot at Mecca Bingo

Although any typical bingo player will tell you they view the game as more of a pastime, a way to make friends, or just to tinker with their luck, rather than making it rain, we can’t ignore the fact that cash is on the table. And sometimes, winnings can be big. Just recently, we saw the first online bingo millionaire – remember the happy lady with flamboyant hair and a huge smile holding an even huger cheque? Well, last Monday there was another lucky winner to shout ‘Bingo!’ and scoop a big jackpot.

Unlike with the glamorous grandmother whose story was all over the news, this lucky winner’s identity is being kept a secret. All we know is he struck luck playing Mecca’s Lucky 7 and won £77,777. Now, you’d think that if you’ve just experienced a potentially life-changing situation like hitting a 5-digit jackpot, you’d be raving, popping champagne, and calling your boss to tell them you quit (and possibly your ex telling them how much they’ve missed out on). But none of that happened. According to onlookers and fellow players at the bingo hall, the lucky chap that cashed in the big prize didn’t make so much of an effort as to crack a smile or buy a round for the hall. Apparently, he was so shocked that he didn’t even know how to react so he just played another game.

Really, Mr Poker Face? You just got your life fixed and all you could do was continue playing while everyone around is cheering and getting over the moon for you? Well, that’s dedication to the game, I’ll give him credit for it. Maybe our, ahem, football players could have learnt a lesson or two from him… Anyway, the branch bosses at Mecca are also keeping mum about this mystery man who scooped their big jackpot and all that has surfaced regarding this win is that it happened during a Mecca’s Lucky 7’s live linked game.

Oh, come on – it’s not like he’s the Julian Assange of bingo now, is he? What the light-hearted friendly bingo community would do is just be happy for him and swoon over how it could be one of us holding those bright balloons and standing next to CEOs, going “Look, Mum, I’m on telly!” Let that Biology teacher who insisted you needed to know what mitochondria is if you wanted to be successful see what you’re made of. And to get you there, we’ll keep posting about all the latest and biggest promos in online bingo, so stick around!
