Bingo Gala pays out jackpot

Online Bingo firm BingoGala.com have made one person's Christmas dream come true a little earlier than expected after they paid out $1,500 courtesy of its special Nickels Progressive Jackpot.

$1,561 was paid out to online competitor ‘mightymopar’ from Greenville, Michigan, on November 15 while its Nickels Progressive Jackpot has already been reset and is currently sitting at over $1,096.

The winner said:

"I couldn’t believe I hit the jackpot. It took me a few seconds to actually realise what had happened. I like to play when there are only 15 to 20 players, usually early morning for me. When no one else is up and when I'm down to one number, I like to look away and keep repeating the number I need until it is called.

"That is what happened when I hit the jackpot. “I am going shopping the day after Thanksgiving for Christmas gifts for my three kids. Thanks to you it is going to be a great Christmas. To all the other players, I would tell them to keep playing and keep their hopes up as it could happen to them.”
