A lucky Carlisle woman won a prize of £50,000 playing bingo.
Beth Brown, 44, who is married with grown-up children, called house on a life-changing jackpot on the National Bingo Game at Opera Bingo, Carlisle.
Mrs Brown was playing at the club on the evening of September 19 with her aunt who originally introduced her to the gambling game.
“I love coming to bingo every week with my Aunty Mary, it’s our weekly treat,” Mrs Brown said.
She added: “I did win back in June - over £2,000 - but this amount is unbelievable.
“It just does not feel real.
“When the numbers came up, I could not stop crying.
“It is a life-changing amount of money.
“I am deciding how to best spend the money, but I will definitely be going on a cruise and saving some.”
