Gibraltar-licensed BingoLadbrokes.com has announced that it has given away almost £60,000 to two very lucky ladies from the north of England.

The first winner, ‘Ms Robinson’ from Hartlepool, took home £20,000 after playing the online bingo site’s Fat Ladies mini game scratchcard while a ‘Mrs M’ from Lancaster scooped an even grander £39,000 participating on the 33-ball escalator title.

“When I won, I sat and cried and cried,” said ‘Ms Robinson’. “I've never won anything like this before. I’m going to do up the house and give the kids the best Christmas ever." BingoLadbrokes.com stated that its 33-ball escalator increases everyday and is already well over £8,000 and growing in anticipation of the next lucky winner. "It's indescribable,” said ‘Mrs M’. “It's a feeling you just don't expect until it happens to you. I just couldn't believe I'd won. I keep waking up in the morning thinking it had all been a dream and then I come downstairs and see the flowers and champagne that Ladbrokes sent me and I realised that it must be true. "We're going to clear all our debts with the money and take a holiday to Las Vegas for our anniversary. Winning the money has been a big relief and it has changed our lives completely."

The site also announced that it is currently offering players the chance to purchase up to 60 bingo tickets for selected games in one go through its Max Out promotion. “This gives you even more chances to win by maxing out,” read a statement from the site. “The Max Out offers will take place at least once an hour. To find out when they take place either check the schedule or log into the game.”
