Laura Bell was duty manager at the club on the night of the big win and described the shock that befell the club; “Everyone in the club froze when Drumchapel appeared on the monitor, and we realised that someone in the room had won.

“Then the customer ran over with her tablet, she was shaking when showed me the screen with the £60,000 win!

The win fell during celebrations for National Bingo Day, which also saw David Linden MP calling the numbers at Mecca’s club at the Forge shopping Centre in Glasgow to raise money for charity.
