Gibraltar-licensed online bingo site FoxyBingo.com has announced that two lucky players shared in the £20,000 jackpot of its special Children In Need promotion held last Friday evening.

Children In Need is a charity that takes place every year across the UK with the aim of raising money and awareness for deprived youngsters throughout Great Britain. The campaign involves a television programme broadcast on the BBC that was watched this year by eleven million viewers. This year, the variety show featured headline acts such as boy bands McFly and Take That alongside BBC News presenters singing and dancing their way through a number of classic ABBA songs. All this entertainment saw viewers stick their hands in their pockets for approximately £20 million in donations when all was said and done.

 FoxyBingo.com hosted a special game in aid of the annual charity with each ticket costing one pound. The site revealed that all of the money raised, all £12,951 of it, went to the Children In Need Fund. Two players, ‘Mikeyb73’ and ‘Bonkaru2’, shared the £20,000 jackpot after both hit a Full House at the same time to walk away with £10,000.

 “A big thank you to everyone who took part in our £20,000 charity bingo game on Friday, November 14 in aid of Children In Need,” read a statement from FoxyBingo.com.

“We can't forget our two lucky winners, ‘mikeyb73’ and ‘Bonkaru2’, who shared the £20,000 jackpot taking home £10,000 each. Well done guys, we hope you enjoy spending your winnings.”
