London/New Delhi: A mother of four, living in County Durham in north-east England, was served all the aces by Fate when she hit a jackpot of more than 500,000 pounds — twice in a matter of days.
###
Anita Campbell from Seaham was on Universal Credit due to ill health but won a total of pound 500,000 twice within days on online bingo, helping her pay off her debts, the Mirror reported.
###
Struggling on benefits, she first won pound 597,000, hours after joining an online bingo game. Ten days later, she won another pound 522,000. Her win totalled pound 1,119,000.
###
She said: “I just couldn’t believe that I’d won again.”
###
Since her win, she has bought her elderly father a new home, treated her children to shopping, bought toys for her grandchild, and paid off debts.
###
“It’s still a bit of a dream. I’m over the moon. I still can’t believe it. I thought straightaway, ‘I can help my kids with this money’,” she was quoted by the report.
###
She said: “He rang me and asked, ‘Nana are you rich? Can I have some Lego?’.”
###
The newly-minted millionaire talked of losing weight and inability to eat properly before the fortuitous turn of events.
###
Anita has moved out of her rented home into a new property, giving away her old furniture. She has paid off debts for her mother’s funeral last year.
###
Her win has not satiated her passion for online bingo. She said she still loves playing it.
