Bingo history has been made this week, when a 62 year old woman from Bristol won £1 million at an online bingo site.  Pauline Clark, pensioner and grandmother, beat out 15,000 qualifying players and became the Gala Bingo 'Kerchingo' top winner.

"Galabingo.co.uk has created the world’s first ever bingo millionaire, taking bingo to a whole new level. Gala is the market leader in Bingo, but the fact that KerChingo has made one lucky player a millionaire, is just another example of why thousands of people play bingo with Gala every week - in club, online and on Gala TV." Commented Gala’s Damian Cope.

This exciting feat came as absolute shock to Pauline, who has played bingo for years but only got interested in playing Bingo online two months ago.  12 years ago, Pauline actually won £6000 in a national Bingo game, which was a lot at the time, but seems like nothing compared to her latest win.  

A couple of weeks ago, Ms Clark, deposited £5 into her Gala Bingo account and decided to play a KerChingo qualifying game with her last 60 pence remaining,  And to her surprise, Pauline achieved a full house, which won her £50 and a life changing, though she did not realize it then, ticket to the final KerChingo game.  

"I had always thought that I would win big and I do remember that a clairvoyant once said to me I'd never be stuck for cash, but when I needed to retire from work two years ago due to stress, I wondered what she could have meant!" declared the thrilled winner.  

When Pauline achieved a Full House in the big game that took place last Sunday evening, online bingo history was made.  This is the biggest prize to ever be won by any online bingo player.  Pauline plans to spend some of her new fortune by building a greenhouse and by paying off her children’s mortgages.
