The Highest Bingo Win Ever

Every game has its legends. Football fans have seen some unbelievable goals that are still being talked about today, watching a game of pool can sometimes make you question the laws of physics, and even bingo players have something to look up to. In a game that mostly revolves around how much money you're making, many players are wondering who's been the luckiest bingo player in the world so far, and how much they've managed to score. While there are some "urban legends" going around concerning that, some are really far from the truth and no one won several milions on bingo games.

The largest amount of money ever won in a bingo game was just a little over £1,100,000, and was won by a woman named Christine Bradfield, a mother from Wales. Mrs Bradfield, who said she had been playing bingo ever since she was 18, was initially quite shocked by her win. In the following interviews, she revealed that she had been a huge bingo fan, spending lots of evenings at the local bingo hall after work, relaxing with her friends. And even though she had made some considerable wins before, she said nothing was ever even close to this - and how could it, when you consider she had just set a new world record for the highest bingo win ever!

The woman wasn't selfish, either - she actually gave half of the money to her sister-in-law.
