The Price Is Right Bingo’s Record Jackpot
The Price Is Right Bingo’s biggest ever Progressive Jackpot has recently been grabbed by James A. James has been a member of Jackpotjoy for just a month, and he won the not-to-be-sneezed-at fortune of £14,995 having deposited just £100 cash!
“This is going to transform our lives. I’m so glad! We moved houses just a year ago but haven’t been able to turn it into a home.”, James told us.
James was with his wife when the great win happened, and by the sounds of it, she already had a massive shopping list at the ready should their luck be in.
“When we first moved house, we had to do with handed down furniture from friends because we couldn’t afford to buy our own. What these winnings mean to us is that we can buy our own and be more comfortable in our own surroundings.”
Jackpotjoy’s Biggest Bingo Payout Ever
Late September saw the biggest ever Bingo Gold Jackpot won at £99,342! The lucky winner was Stephen J from Northumberland who spoke to Jackpotjoy.com about the moment he grabbed the fortune: “I’m still a bit ill with shock. I thought I’d never win a penny. When it came on the screen, I thought ‘oh my God!”
“My Mum was watching at the time and she had won £13,000 a while ago. Winning this, we can do what we want! We’ve got no more money worries, have paid the mortgage off and I’m totally secure!”
Stephen is now beginning to plan what to spend his stacks of cash on but not before settling a bet he had made with some friends: “This weekend we were in Blackpool and I had a feeling the Jackpot was on the way. Someone in Chat had predicted it would go at 9pm too. I bet my friend that if I won, we’d go to Florida and hit the theme parks to go on all the big rides.”
“We bought a designer kitchen a while back but haven’t been able to afford the installation. Now we can get it sorted!”
On his way to London for a celebratory theatre break, Stephen will be continuing his Bingo hobby as a member of the winner’s club, something he’s only been able to dream of until now.
“In Chat, you speak to more people that have won big than on any other site. It’s amazing. Everyone was congratulating me! Thank you so much.”
Bullion Bonanza takes winner to America!
Finance worker Pamela G couldn’t believe her luck when she turned away from her screen whilst playing Bullion Bonanza at jackpotjoy.com and was £35,771 richer when she looked back!
“I was in the room when it happened. I was looking away and when I returned; everybody in Chat was saying ‘well done’ and ‘way to go’. I had to ask if I’d won and then I saw my balance had grown. I couldn’t believe my eyes!”
Pamela started screaming with joy before remembering she had the neighbourhood to think about.
“I was shouting ‘oh my god!’ Next door must have thought that I was mad! I called my husband and he came and saw the screen. He didn’t believe me!”
Perhaps the shock was so great because this wasn’t the first time Pamela has been lucky. To win a second time left her thinking it must have been a mistake!
“I started to panic because this is the second time I’ve won such a large amount of money. I won £35,000 on Bullion Bonanza before. To win once in a lifetime is one thing, but twice? It’s unbelievable!”
Now Pamela’s calmed down a little, her thoughts are on what to use her new fortune to buy.
“My daughter wants a brand new car and I’m going to buy my Dad one too. I’m getting my husband a motorbike. I’ll take them to America. There’s five of us. They all keep calling me jammy!

David D – Winner on Bingo 100
Last month (September) David D joined the Super Jackpot winners club on Jackpot Joy, grabbing £30,000 by winning Bingo 100 during the game’s weekly happy hour. The next day,Jackpot Joy spoke with the brand new Bingo champion to find out how he felt about the win and what he planned to do with the money.
“It’s brilliant. I had just put the cards on and went to cook tea. I got back to the screen and sat there with my mouth open! I didn’t expect to see anything so got a big surprise. I didn’t believe it!”
David showed his wife the screen in order to double-check that he wasn’t seeing things. It wasn’t too long before plans were being made with regards to what treats should be bought first.
“I showed my wife and we just sat there! We felt butterflies and shock. I’m going to pay off my credit card which will cover a holiday we just had in Singapore. My wife’s always wanted to go to Hawaii so we might go there. I’ll be buying some premium bonds too!”

October 29, 2007
Tuesday’s Carling Cup Football
Tuesday night sees the opening game of the 4th Round, when Coventry City host West Ham at the Ricoh Arena (Sky Sports 2, k/o 7:45pm). Coventry City have done fantastically well getting through to the 4th Round, having beaten Man Utd 2-0. Although United fielded a team of reserve and youth players, it was a tremendous achievement for Coventry to travel to Old Trafford and secure passage to the next round.
As a result, Iain Dowie’s men go into the game with West Ham full of confidence, and will fancy their chances at home, VC Bet have Coventry priced at 21/10 to record a win. West Ham, however, go into this game in indifferent form, having only won one game in their last four.

Wednesday’s Carling Cup Football
The big televised game on Wednesday night sees Championship side Sheffield Utd face Premiership leaders Arsenal at Bramall Lane (Sky Sports 2, k/o 7:45pm).
Unbeaten Arsenal will go into this game full of confidence, having maintained their unbeaten status with the draw against Liverpool, they look unstoppable at the moment. Although tradition would dictate that Arsenal will field a team of youngsters, with the calibre of youngsters such as Bendtner, Walcott and Denilson, they have the quality to worry Sheffield Utd greatly. With the great form of Arsenal, bookmakers have priced them as favourites at 3/5 (Centrebet) for the win and Bryan Robson’s Sheffield Utd have been priced at 4/1 by VC Bet.
