It was a life-changing evening for lucky Oldham resident Patricia Lowe when she scooped the £50,000 jackpot on the National Bingo Game at Mecca Bingo on King Street.

Patricia was enjoying an evening out at Mecca Bingo Oldham with friends when the evening took an exhilarating turn.

As she dabbed off the numbers, she soon found herself calling ‘house’ on the National Bingo Game.

A Mecca Bingo member for years, it’s the first time Patricia has ever won a prize this substantial.

When asked how she felt in the moment of her big jackpot win, Patricia said: “It was so overwhelming - I honestly couldn’t believe it! I still can’t!”
