One lucky bingo fan became the second ever player to hit the jackpot on Mecca’s Big Bonus Game, scooping over £60,000 at Mecca Bingo in Drumchapel last week.
The lucky local had been playing on one of the club’s electronic tablets when she scooped the jackpot on Monday, June 26, on Mecca’s new Big Bonus game.

Mecca Big Bonus is a brand-new game which costs £1 to play. Exclusive to Mecca, the game is played twice a day, in Mecca’s clubs nationwide, with the jackpot growing steadily until it’s won.
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.
