Online bingo fan scoops massive prize
An Internet bingo player has scooped a staggering £34,115 from a single 10p ticket.
The player, from Bradford in Yorkshire, landed the UK's biggest win of its kind from Bucky Bingo's online site.
After signing on as 'Shell15' there was time for a quick game at the favourite 'Buckingham Room' - exclusive to Bucky Bingo members.
And minutes later it was celebration time - with a mega bingo jackpot that even excited the executives at Manchester-based Buckingham Bingo - a specialist business for 35 years before it launched an online bingo site two years ago.
Champagne
"It's a great day for all of us," said Head of Online Gaming, Matt Welch after rushing an express bottle of Champagne across to Bradford as a celebration gift.
"It's a fantastic win the first we've had from such a low stake - and it proves that the big money is achievable even for just a few pennies.
"A big league bingo prize like this might seem even more surprising as our virtual rooms are not full of thousands of people. Players play there because we manage to create the same comfortable community feeling as we do at our actual venues.
"Our site is breaking all records for player satisfaction... so 'Shell15' is more than welcome to break into a bottle of Champagne and enjoy the winnings!"
