Several Canadian charities have been benefited by a program that allows them to volunteer their time at a bingo center in exchange for a percentage of the profits. This week, the charities that took part in the program over the past year received a cheque for $1.448.972 from the hands of Barrie MPP Aileen Carroll.
“I want to thank the volunteers because the result of your work and the impact your work has on so many charities here in Barrie is astounding,” Carroll said during the ceremony.
A grandmother from the city of Hastings in Southeast England is celebrating big time after scooping a huge jackpot at her local bingo club and is willing to fulfill all her postponed dreams with this money.
The 71-year-old woman came across a total prize of £339,000 – almost 450,000 euros – playing at the Bingo Deluxe club. This prize was given as part of the National Game Platinum Jackpot.
