Online bingo player wins Mini Cooper
23rd April, 2009
Wink Bingo ran one of their biggest online promotions over the festive period, offering one player the chance to win a brand new Mini Cooper. Players took part in several bingo games, with the hope of reaching the final event.
Christine Tulley and Joanna Kane faced each other in a a poker style 'heads up' game which ended in a unbelievable finale. Both players bingoed on the same amount of numbers resulting in a tie. Fans called for a playoff, and they got what they wanted!
It was north vs south as player profiling and media attention made this an extraordinary bingo game. Both Tulley and Kane were allowed to choose their numbers and the event was watched by thousands of other players.
It had the hype and atmosphere of a huge no limit online poker tournament with a massive prize at stake.
Joanna Kane won the Mini and commented on her win, “It was so exciting; I screamed and screamed and screamed. The kids were screaming, the dog was going mad. I can’t explain how wonderful it felt.” “I’ve never won anything in my life, you hear about it happening to other people, but you never think it will happen to you.”
Joanna, from Oldham, chose the numbers 9 and 11, claiming they were lucky. Her children’s birthdays where on these days and it was also the date she passed her driving test.
A delighted Joanna went to collect her £16,000 prize from the Wink Bingo HQ.
Wink Bingo has quickly risen to the top of the online bingo market and now offers players huge jackpots and some excellent promotions.
Their guaranteed jackpot games and a favourite with players, especially the 10K event, which takes place on the 10th of every month.
