ARMY MEDIC'S UNEXPECTED BINGO WIN BRINGS TEARS, JOY, AND A STEP CLOSER TO HER FIRST HOME

Friday, 29 November 2024: Ellie, an army medic from Newcastle, experienced an ecstatic moment last month after winning a £10,000 prize during Buzz Bingo’s Big Money Live.

The event, a groundbreaking first for UK bingo, connects online players with those in the club, giving all Buzz Bingo members a chance to win bigger prize pools. 

Ellie’s big win came during a surprise visit home after an unexpected weekend off as an army medic. Determined to make it memorable, her parents decided to join in on a long-overdue visit to Buzz Bingo Wallsend. The prize money came at the perfect time as she and her partner were saving for their first home.

Ellie is excited to share her story as Buzz Bingo players gear up for Big Money Live this weekend, with an impressive £115,000 in prize money up for grabs. Hosted by a live presenter and broadcasted across the nation, all Buzz Bingo players have the chance to pocket life-changing cash from anywhere in the UK. 

Ellie Ford from Newcastle said: “Winning £10,000 during Buzz Bingo Big Money Live was an incredible and surreal experience. I couldn’t be happier, especially as the timing is perfect—my partner and I are saving for our first home, and this win is a huge step forward. It’s going to make a big difference to our savings!”

Buzz Bingo Wallsend General Manager, Bryan Maughan, said: “We could not be happier for our lucky winner, Ellie, and her fantastic win. Everyone was cheering from their seats – it was such an exciting moment. The atmosphere in the club when there’s a win is always incredible. We’re looking forward to seeing more players win big this weekend during Big Money Live. It’s an event to not miss and another chance where a Buzz player can walk home with £100,000 from a game of bingo!”

Buzz Bingo’s Big Money Live Weekend has truly proven its potential to bring joy and incredible prizes to its players in the past. It’s a chance to experience the magic of Buzz with prizes ranging from £5,000, £10,000 and £100,000 for a Full House.
