Two lucky bingo players in Paisley took home major jackpot wins within hours of each other, totalling £62,000.
The first customer, who wished to remain anonymous, won a life-changing £50,000 at the Saucel Crescent club during an afternoon game after calling house on a low 16 numbers.
A few hours later, another player hit a second jackpot of £12,000 during the evening session.
The £50,000 winner is often at the bingo on Sundays with her five buddies and the entire club erupted into cheers of congratulations when she called house.
The win came as a shock, and she celebrated by buying a round of drinks for her friends she had met at the bingo hall.
Later that evening, the night’s £12,000 winner was first-time lucky. He came to the bingo for the first time that night with his mum.
In addition to his full house win, the pair had a second winning ticket during one of the night’s link games.
Grant Munro, general manager at Mecca Bingo Paisley, said: “It always gives us a thrill when one of our players wins big, and these jackpots were no exception.
“We’ve had a very lucky few months, with two £50,000 prizes plus our £12,000 newbie winner, so it definitely feels like Paisley’s on a winning streak.
“The day of the two big wins, the atmosphere was electric with everybody congratulating the players – there’s a real sense of community about bingo, which is lovely to see.”
