According to Kilmarnock Standard - the local paper for East Ayrshire in Scotland - a lucky bingo player who goes by the bingo allies of Cheryl M won £7,229 by the time she had come back from answering the door.
Cheryl, just like many bingo players wins small bingo jackpots consisting of around the £10 mark and it never crossed her mind that she would be the lucky one to win the life changing amount of cash.
She had the following to say: "I was so excited, I just couldn't believe my luck. But annoyingly I missed seeing my big win." Oh well, Cheryl, I think we would all agree that we would rather miss seeing a big win and winning than not winning a big amount at all.
Cheryl bought 6 tickets into the 90 ball bingo game for the Tiki Room at JackpotJoy, there was then a knock on the door so she went to answer it, and after returning to her PC she noticed that her bingo balance was showing the £7,229 jackpot win.
