Woman scoops top bingo prize

Ms Clarke has been playing online for two months

A Bristol woman has won £1m playing online bingo.

Pauline Clarke, 62, from Brislington, scooped a full house with the Gala Bingo online version of the game KerChingo.

The mother-of-two, who has played bingo "for years", plans to pay off her children's mortgages and hire someone to put up her greenhouse.

"I'm absolutely shocked. My heart is still racing. I've only been playing online for two months," she said.

"Two weeks ago I played online, putting £5 into my account and with my last 60p I played KerChingo.

"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."
