For one lucky player the Euro 2012 tournament may have been something she didn’t look forward to as she knew her partner would neglect her. But today it is probably safe to say she thanks her lucky stars for Euro games.
Lisa Potter, 33 in Oxford was bored to tears as her partner watched the Euro 2012 every day and decided to play at Ladbrokes Bingo. She placed a £5 stake and on her second spin she won the Rollover Jackpot for £1.5m.
She said: "I had a spare minute and wanted to get away from the football so logged on. As soon as I saw the size of the jackpot I thought it was worth a go and couldn't believe my eyes when it said I'd won.
"I can't remember much after that as it's such a blur. My kids came into the room and we all started screaming together - it's like a madhouse in here."
Lisa has big plans now that she is a millionaire and will spend it to buy a new house and car and take her family on holiday: "We're a normal family so this will change my life forever. The first thing we're going to do is buy a new house before treating ourselves."
It is the third biggest Jackpot win in the history of the game with the last biggest win over three years ago. Ladbrokes stated that an increase of 400% of women playing bingo during the Euro 2012 matches.
Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: "We're absolutely over the moon for her. It's one of the biggest wins of all time and we've sent the champers along to kick off the celebrations."
She added: "We bet she'll never moan at her man for watching the footy again!"
