Sisters fight over £50,000 bingo win!

According to this article on the BBC news site, three sisters Linda Kenny, 53, Doreen Thomas, 57 and Edna Sexton, 59 are set to meet in court over an argument about a £50,000 bingo jackpot payout. Apparently Mrs Kenny and Mrs Thomas are suing Mrs Sexton for £16,666, plus interest, because they claim their sister reneged on an oral agreement they reached in 2005.

A £50,000 bingo bonus is a lot of money, but is it worth this? I have a brother who is an absolute killer at Blackjack, he loves to play in both online and offline casinos, and has won (and sometimes lost) a fortune. I’ve never expected to reap the benefit, even when I’ve been their when he won. If he ever did offer me money and later was not able to fulfil that promise I would never dream about taking him to court and in the same way he would not expect me to cover some of his costs if he lost… 

Now, as I’ve mentioned in my last post, gambling (be it casino, bingo or betting on a sport) is primarily for entertainment and the winnings, although wonderful, are an added bonus. Family is more important and I for one hope these sisters work it all out amicably. Life is too short people! Enjoy your winnings yes, but enjoy your family more.

6 down 4 to go for the Hundreds and Thousands jackpot

Today I was going to write to you all about the plans we have for April, but something else much more fun made its way to my desk…The Hundreds and Thousands Jackpot has been won again! Just to prove that this is the place with more jackpots, more often, we’ve paid out the H&T jackpot 6 times in the last two weeks! But that’s not the really great part - the H&T has paid out three times to the same roomie! That’s right - twizzle99 has walked off with £750 in prize money, over and above her full house winnings!

The H&T is currently paying out £250 per win, but this is limited to he first ten roomies who win! We’re 6 down, so there are only 4 more ber bonuses to win! Once all 10 bonuses have been won, the Hundred nd Thousands will revert to its normal £100 payout (which still isn’t bad if you ask me!) Don’t fret tho - we’ve got plenty of tricks up our leeves, all of which will be revealed in the next few weeks.  For your shot at the bonus, join us in the bingo hall today at lunchime (1pm) and you could also double your winnings as TheBingoManager and TheCityBingoGuy go crazy with giveaways!

See you there,
