Introducing the first ever bingo millionaire in history – thanks to KerChingo from Gala Bingo
Life will never be the same again for 62 year old Pauline Clarke, from Bristol, who has just won KerChingo, the first ever million pound bingo game in history, from Gala.
To help celebrate, Gala has whisked Pauline and friends away to enjoy their first taste of a millionaire’s lifestyle. Collected in a chauffer driven limo, they have been treated to a champagne breakfast at the luxurious Hotel Du Vin as they begin to re-adjust.
“I’m absolutely shocked. My heart is still racing. I’ve played bingo for years; in fact I won £6,000 in the National Game 12 years ago. However, I’ve only been playing online for two months. Two weeks ago I played online, putting £5 on my account, and with my last 60 pence I played the KerChingo Qualifying Game. To my surprise I won the full house which meant I won £50 and a KerChingo Final Game ticket.
“I had always thought that I would win big and I do remember that a clairvoyant once said to me I’d never be stuck for cash, but when I needed to retire from work two years ago due to stress, I wondered what she could have meant!”
Damian Cope, Managing Director, Gala Coral E-Commerce, added: “Galabingo.co.uk has created the world's first ever bingo millionaire, taking bingo to a whole new level. Gala is the market leader in Bingo, but the fact that KerChingo has made one lucky player a millionaire, is just another example of why thousands of people play bingo with Gala every week - in club, online and on Gala TV.”
KerChingo has made bingo history by being the first bingo game with a guaranteed million-pound prize. In order to take part Pauline and the other 14,999 finalists had to win a KerChingo final ticket by playing special KerChingo qualifying games online and on Gala TV (sky digital channel 841). The final game was then streamed online, and broadcast live on Gala TV on Sunday night.
