Euro 2012 Drives Woman to Giant Bingo Win

The Ladbrokes internet casino has seen a few big wins lately but last week’s giant payout was one of the biggest to date.

The lucky punter is called Lisa Potter and she comes from Witney in Oxfordshire. She was playing bingo online when she struck it lucky and picked up an astonishing jackpot of well over a million pounds.

The exact figure of the win was £1,364,745 and she won this huge sum on a simple little bet of a fiver. She said that she had gone on the internet for a flutter to get away from the Euro 2012 games which were on the telly in her home.

Lots More Women Heading for a Flutter

In fact, a spokesman said that they have seen an amazing increase of 400% in the number of female players having a go on their site since men all over the country started watching this summer’s big footy tournament.

Lisa said that she couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw that she had won. Everything after that was “a blur” and now her house has turned into a “madhouse” thanks to the massive win. Now she is planning a family holiday and has confirmed that her new found millionaire status will change her life forever.

Alex Donohue is the spokesperson for Ladbrokes who broke the story, and the official word is that the betting firm is “over the moon”. It is one of their biggest ever wins and they have already dispatched some champagne to Lisa’s house to get the party started in style.
