Major Internet player wins this week include a GBP 1.3 million hit for a GBP2 wager at Mecca Bingo.co.uk, and GBP 114 649 on an 80p stake at Vegas.WilliamHill.com.
In the Mecca Bingo win, a lucky British couple became instant millionaires after placing the maximum five-pound bet on its Clover Rollover progressive jackpot slot.
Barry and Lynsey Mirehouse of Maryport in Cumbria won GBP 1.2 million one evening with a one-pound per line wager. The Clover Rollover jackpot had grown to GBP 1 201 233 before being hit by the couple, who married in 2006.
“I don’t know what we are doing to do with the winnings but we’re trying to keep a low profile,” Lynsey Mirehouse told local newspapers.
“The news is going to travel fast and people will find out about the win but we are trying to keep it to ourselves for now.”
