A player at Ayr's Mecca Bingo has scooped a jackpot win of £221,387.69.

The lucky winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, was playing at her local Mecca Ayr club when she won the jackpot whilst playing the National Bingo Game.

The win is the largest that the lucky local has ever won and after playing at the club for over 10 years and winning a couple of £500 jackpots, the winner was in a state of disbelief.

When her numbers were called, she originally thought she had only won £100. However, when she was told that she had in fact won the National Bingo jackpot of over £221,000 she was totally speechless.

The anonymous winner, from Dumfriesshire, has no big plans to spend her winnings yet but she is planning on buying a new car and going on holiday to America to visit some old school friends.

The jackpot winner said: “I was in a total state of shock at my good fortune. It didn’t really sink in till I put the money into my bank account. I’ve been visiting the Ayr club for over 10 years and playing with my friends, we all enjoy a night out at the bingo. They’re all thrilled about my win and I just can’t believe my luck!

“I’ve won a few hundred pounds over the years but this is the largest amount to date. It’s amazing and I could not be happier!” The National Bingo Game offers players at participating clubs the opportunity to win life changing cash prizes twice a day.

Mecca Ayr club manager, Natasha Baxter, commented: “We’re always pleased when we have a big win like this in our club.

" Understandably, it creates a great atmosphere in the club and the rest of our customers are always chuffed for the winner - there’s a real sense of camaraderie and excitement that the winner of the National Bingo Game is one of ‘ours’.”
