The North West struck it lucky on Monday night when the £753,502.74 jackpot for Gala Bingo’s High 5 game was won and shared among 302 members of Ashton’s bingo community.

This enormous win follows Gala Bingo’s announcement of plans to withdraw from the National Game.  This positive decision will allow Gala Bingo to concentrate on the hugely successful High 5 game, which offers customers better prize money and even more chances to win.

Recent research proved that Gala Bingo’s customers clearly favoured the High 5 game, which is a unique offering in the industry whereby jackpots are shared between club members. To date, 1,982 customers have won a total of more than £5.93 million.  Ashton’s huge win is the proof of the pudding – each of the 302 winners pocketed £1,247.45, and one lucky winner pocketed £386,229.53.

Wayne Spendlove, Gala Bingo’s Ashton Club Manager, said of the night’s proceedings: "The atmosphere was electric and everyone was so happy – our players were so excited that they had trouble concentrating on the games afterwards!"
