A father's simple night out playing bingo turned into a life-changing moment when he scooped a staggering £100,000 jackpot—but there was an unexpected twist that left him in disbelief.
The man, who wished to remain anonymous, had decided to enjoy a casual evening of bingo with his partner at a local hall. Little did he know, luck was on his side that night.
As the numbers were called, he realised he had a full house—winning the massive £100,000 prize. But just as he was celebrating, organisers dropped a bombshell: due to a technical error, the jackpot was not valid.
"I went from the highest high to the lowest low in seconds," the dad said. "It was absolutely gut-wrenching."
The bingo hall later confirmed the mistake, explaining that a system glitch had incorrectly displayed the prize amount. While they apologised for the error, the father was left empty-handed.
"It’s one of those things you just can’t make up," he added. "I’ll still go back to bingo—but maybe I’ll double-check the jackpot next time."
