‘I'm Going To Beautiful Bali!'

Lynne Scott, 60, from Swindon, Wiltshire, won £1,500 and is jetting off on a very special birthday trip

Heading off in the evening to the local bingo hall for a night of fun with my best friend, Nicky, then 45, while my husband, William, then 57, relaxed at home was the highlight of my week.

Our exciting bingo nights was one of the things we most loved to do together. Only, in July 2007, Nicky announced she was moving to Malta.

‘I’m happy for you, but I’ll miss you,’ I told her sadly as we hugged goodbye.

Still, I was soon planning trips to go out and see her. I didn’t go to the halls as much once she left and some friends recommended I give Woman Bingo a go.

Soon I was playing bingo online a few times a week, and while I never put much money on, I loved the game and enjoyed chatting with the other members in the chat rooms while I played.
