Bored Mum Wins £1.3 Million!

Lisa Potter may be thanking her lucky stars for Euro 2012 and not because England are through to the quarter finals!

Fed up with the football permanently on the tv, Lisa, from Witney, Oxfordshire, logged on to Ladbrokes Bingo and placed a £5 bet to entertain herself when her partner refused to turn over the daily coverage of the tournament.

And while he was glued to Spain’s 4-0 win over Ireland last Thursday evening, the mother-of-three won the entire rollover jackpot in only her second spin on Ladbrokes Bingo.

She told the Daily Mirror: ‘I had a spare minute and wanted to get away from the football so I decided to log on.

‘As soon as I saw the size of the jackpot I thought it was worth a go – and I couldn’t believe my eyes when it said that I’d won.

‘I can’t remember much after, it’s all a blur. My kids came into the room and we all started screaming. It’s like a madhouse in here.’

Ladbrokes Bingo has already handed over a cheque for £1,364,745.23 to Miss Potter at a champagne party and she now plans to treat her family to a luxury holiday and a new house and car.

She said: ‘We’re a normal family so this will change my life forever. The first thing we’re going to do is buy a new house before treating ourselves.’

Well done Lisa, have a fantastic time spending your well deserved win at Ladbrokes Bingo.
