An I'm A Celeb... tombola winner's story
A 69-year-old player from Fleetwood, Lancashire shouted ‘full house’ in record time while playing bingo on the tombola app during an ad break for I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!. This lucky player ‘ravenmoonstone’, turned a free £5 play into an astonishing £10,000 full house prize in just 11 minutes after signing up after seeing tombola on ITV on Monday November 18.
While enjoying the show, she noticed a promotional offer for tombola’s free to play game Bug Match whilst scrolling the I’m A Celebrity… app. Intrigued, she signed up and dived into her first game of bingo90. “I was on the app and noticed a free £5 tombola offer. I signed up, started playing Bug Match, and then decided to try bingo90,” she recounted. After playing a 50p game followed by a £1.50 game, her screen lit up with the life-changing message: she had won £10,000! “To my absolute amazement, I suddenly won £10,000! I’m still in shock,” she exclaimed.
When she shared the news with her husband, who she met during a holiday with her family over 50 years ago, he was initially sceptical. However, the reality of her win quickly sank in when they spoke to tombola’s customer service team to verify it. This couple recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary and have plans to use part of their newfound fortune for an unforgettable trip to Harry Potter World in London - a dream they’ve shared for many years.
