Bingo caller dubbed ‘fortunate appeal’ after drawing three £50k wins – and now she’s in demand
Caller, Kat Anderson was standing in for a sick colleague when she drew her third £50k win in 19 months – now Mecca Bingo lovers only want to play when she’s on shift
A lucky bingo player is planning a very merry Christmas, after winning £50,000 at Mecca Bingo.
The winner scooped the national jackpot earlier this month playing on the National Bingo Game, using one of the clubs’ electronic Max tablets. The win marks the third £50k jackpot that bingo caller, Kat Anderson, has given away since she started working at the Luton club in 2022.
The winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, is the third player to have hit the £50k jackpot at Luton this year and is a regular customer at the Skimpot Road venue.
The game sees bingo clubs across the UK link up to play and the fabulous £50k prize is triggered when a player matches all the numbers on their ticket and claims ‘house’ within the first 16 numbers being called.
Caller Kat Anderson said: “The whole club was eager for the National Game to start, and when the full house claim came in on the 15th call, I just couldn’t believe it. The customer burst into tears and the whole club was alight with excitement!
“It’s the third time I’ve given away the incredible £50,000 national jackpot. It’s such a magical feeling to be able to give somebody that prize. I was standing in for a colleague who had lost their voice – now customers think I’m their lucky charm!
“The winner, came over and hugged me and then rang her husband – he misheard her and just couldn’t believe it when she repeated how much she’d won.”
Mark Jervis, general manager at Mecca Bingo Luton added: “ The £50k National Bingo Game jackpot is a real cause for celebration! This is the third time that Kat has made one of our players £50,000 richer in the last 19 months, and now everyone wants to know when she’s calling!”
