Here is the story of the first Bingo club millionaire of Britain. The winner of this mega prize in Bingo was a woman of two, from Glasgow. In fact, she had won this prize in her Bingo club, within a few weeks’ of Bingo winnings having been declared redundant.
This lucky woman from Glasgow was Margaret Shearer of age 46 years, had won the jackpot prize of one million pounds while playing a lunch time Bingo session in the Bingo club of the city.
Mrs. Shearer was playing Bingo in the company of her mother, Margaret Money. In fact, the only reason Mrs. Shearer had decided to go to the club to play Bingo that fatal day was because she had just lost her job at a biscuit factory, three weeks ago. She was then working at the McVitie’s biscuit factory.
Mrs. Shearer was lucky that her win came in within a few weeks’ of the gaming laws having been relaxed so that such huge prizes could be won in clubs. It was because these gaming laws had been relaxed that she had won, and could accept the winnings of her club.
