A GRANDFATHER has won more than £76,000 playing bingo.
The 58-year-old, who does not want to be named, but comes from Stockton, Teesside, was at the town's Mecca Club, Chandlers Wharf, last week when he won £73,230 on the National Bingo Game, plus a regional pot of £3,025 and the club prize of £321.
He completed a full house in 41 numbers, the fewest anywhere in the country.
The father-of-three said he would use the money to pay off his mortgage and look after the long-term interests of his grandchildren.
