A couple of years ago, Tammi Paige’s life took a turn
for the worse and she found herself in the eye of a storm of tragedies which
brought her, and her family, nothing but sadness.
Now, her luck looks like it
is changing as she has just scooped almost £20,000 on tombola.co.uk,
the UK’s
most popular online bingo site.
Tammi from Kennoway in Fife,
has been dealt the worst possible fate in the last two
years. Not only did her close friend commit suicide, but
her brother-in-law also died in a diabetic coma. The real
heartbreak started before that though, when her only nephew
was diagnosed with leukaemia at just five months old. She
recalls this sad time:
“My nephew, Cairan, was a beautiful little boy and has left behind a gaping
hole in our lives. As the only members of our family with a car, we spent every
waking hour at the hospital and were with him when he slipped away. He was
only two years old when he died.”
The last straw for Tammi was
when her husband, Scott, was in a horrendous car crash
which left his legs severely damaged. They are now held
together with plates and pins. At just 34 years old,
Tammi is a full time carer for her four children and
husband, who lost his job as a result of the car crash.
She
has little time for herself, but every morning for the
last couple of months, Tammi sits at her computer with
a coffee and plays a couple of games of Bingo 90 on tombola.co.uk,
before Scott and her children get out of bed. A few weeks
ago, Tammi, like normal, sat at her computer, but realised
she was out of coffee. She set a game of Bingo 90 in
motion on tombola.co.uk and popped to the local shop.
The news she faced upon her return has changed her life.
“My family woke up to the sound of my screams: my husband
thought I had crashed the car and my 18 year old daughter,
Shelby, thought someone had died. In fact, I’d hit the
jackpot. I had almost £20,000 in my tombola
account.
“I went straight to tombola’s Rollercoaster room, where
I have so many friends and told them my news. They already
knew and said that everyone was asking for me in Bingo
90. I felt terrible I’d missed everyone’s
congratulations and went straight into Bingo 90 and thanked
everyone for their kind words.
“After the initial euphoria of my win, I had to lie down!
I think the exhaustion of the last couple of years finally
took its toll. Now, a sense of financial relief means I
can sleep much better.
”We have been struggling for so long now, and the win on
tombola has helped dig us out a huge hole. Now I feel I
can not only face the future, but look forward to living
my life. I know that things can only get better.”
