An amazing story was published today about a family torn apart over a £1million bingo jackpot won at Mecca Bingo hall in Glasgow. The free bingo jackpot was won in 2007 but shortly after, one of the sisters, whose name was on the winning ticket decided not to share it with her other sister and two sisters in which played together with her.
The incident led to a legal battle which lasted for two years, costing £200,000 in legal fees and ending with family members refusing to talk to each other, and Mecca Bingo forced to hold the payment of the winning until the matter is settled.
The case was finally settled out of court, with the £1million free bingo jackpot split between the sisters – probably due to the high legal fees that could have driven whoever any of the sisters to heavy debt if they lost the case.
This is truly a sad story of how huge free bingo winnings can lead to bad things, and we must all remember that bingo is not only about money – it’s about good times and having fun.Related News
