Jo Collins, a resident of Luton, England, recently hit an enormous online bingo jackpot of over £162,000 (~$289,000) while playing at galabingo.co.uk. The 52-year-old winner, a Special Needs School driver, had begun playing at the online bingo website just days before she won the grand prize. Collins, a mother of three, was awarded her winning check by famous British celebrity Nancy Sorrell.

When asked about her future plans regarding the newly-received bingo money, Collins answered that she intended to cover her debts and travel to Australia to visit long-lost friends. The fortunate online bingo player also said, "I'm going to carry on with my driving job. The Special Needs kids rely on people like me to get them to school."

Gala Coral E. Commerce Managing Director Dominic Harrison was quoted as saying, "We are delighted to have a big winner, and with the response to our new-look Gala Bingo website. It has real buzz, and mirrors exactly the exciting atmosphere to be found in our clubs.”
