Reports have been coming in to the authorities in the south of England about a very loud scream that was heard right throughout the Home Counties at ten to five in the evening on Tuesday 27th May. Police have now called off their search when we told them there was no need for alarm. It was just JANNY08 winning the Pound jackpot. Big creamy congratulations to Janny for scooping up the super-tasty Pound jackpot. Her win of £14,316.47 is the biggest ever jackpot on BingoMania UK, beating the previous Pound jackpot winner, Mitchmente, by £71.06 and pushing her straight to the top of the Hall of Fame.
Janny said, “I didn’t notice at first cos I was busy talking to Womble. When I realised, I screamed so loud I scared poor Bella (her dog) so much she ran off”.
In the true community spirit of BingoMania, Janny is sharing her win with her good friend Grumpy old bat. She said, “We made an agreement to split any jackpot wins in Madhouse and Pound and that’s what I’m going to do”. We think that deserves an extra big scoop of ice cream with strawberry sauce, whipped cream and a cherry on the top.
For those who like the technical details, Janny won her jackpot on call 35 on the Garden Path pattern. The game prize was £49.50 and the progressive a chunky £14,316.47.
Very well done Janny, and Batty of course. All of us here at BingoMania UK hope you both enjoy it.

Shhhh… don’t tell Stuart, but we’re making the progressive jackpot in Little Britain easier to win, starting from May 1st. Every day, twice a day at 9am and 5pm, we’ll be increasing the number of calls within which you can win the progressive by one number until the jackpot is won. But the lunacy doesn’t end there – oh no.
After that, we’ll be sticking two ponies (that’s fifty pounds if you’re from north of the Watford Gap) into the progressive jackpot to start it off and as usual we’ll throw our spare change in every game. The number of calls you get to win it will stay at a win-tastic level, so that more of you get the chance to walk away with the wonga. In fact – we want to see it go two or even three times a day.
Yup – you read it right. We want to see you win it two or three times a day. We want to shake your hand, dance on the tables, break open the bubbly and help you celebrate. But we need our beauty sleep (some of us more than others, mentioning no names) and we go to bed at 1am.
So at 1am every morning, we’re going to take the jackpot and tuck it under Stuart’s mattress so that he doesn’t notice it’s missing. At 9am, we’ll shake off the fluff and bits of corn flakes and put it back, crisp and shiny and ready for a new winner.
We think you’ll enjoy being able to win it more often – after all – who doesn’t want a jackpot win?
You’re looking for the catch, aren’t you? Well if you find it let us know - because we don’t have a magnifying glass strong enough.
Be lucky

Everyone knows that no funny business is part of our DNA. But not long ago, in one of the many hot discussions here on our blog, some members suggested that newbies seem to win more biggie prizes than regular members.
That got our attention, because we know that our software provider Parlay has the best bingo software out there. However, we got curious, and Shawn, one of our techies who understands things us ordinary folk don’t, ran an interesting report for us. Here are the results:
From March 2007 to Present:
Any funded member with account younger than 30 days won 64%.
Any funded member with account younger than 60 days won 62%
Any funded member with account younger than 90 days won 63%
Any member with account older than 90 days funded in past 3 months 72%
As you can tell, depending whether your definition of “newbie” is 30 days, 60 days, or younger than 90 days, based on our report, it’s fairly close. It seems our regular members have had the higher winning percent of 72%.

I was planning to do a special post last week on what you would do if you won the madhouse or Pound progressive jackpots.
Given the madhouse bingo progressive was scooped by bunny50 (a whopping £4,902.80 win – congratulations) that leaves us with the biggie Pound Progressive, currently over the £10,000 mark.
SO LET ME ASK YOU THIS: what would you do, if you won the £10,000+ bingo jackpot?
