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.

It is with a heavy heart that we have to announce the loss of one of our favourite Maniacs – DAME CRACKER.
Cracker, real name Carol, joined BingoMania in February 2007 and quickly became loved by all the roomies and GMs. She joined in with the community and had a great sense of fun. She was always quick with a kind word when someone needed lifted, even when she recently found out that she had cancer and that it was untreatable. In her inimitable style, instead of retreating into herself she continued to join in the fun and spirit of BingoMania.
Sadly, Carol lost the fight against cancer in the early hours of Thursday, 8th May.
The heartfelt thoughts and prayers of all at BingoMania are with the family at this difficult time.

Skippy had a little win on the lottery on Wednesday night and he thought it would be nice to share his good fortune with all the Maniacs. Thanks Skippy.
He was going to buy everyone an ice-lolly but we pointed out that by the time you got them, they would have melted. So Stuart and TT got their thinking caps on and decided a nice cool tourney was just what was needed in the summer heat.
It’s been a little while since we had a tourney, so we thought we’d give you the chance to win some great cash prizes to spend on a new air cooler, walk-in fridge, several gallons of ice cream or whatever else takes your fancy.
For a chance to win, just buy into the special dollar pattern games in Madhouse and The Pound from 10th to 31st May. Each one of the special bingo games you win in Madhouse will earn you 1 tourney point, and each one you win in The Pound will earn you 2 tourney points. At the end of the tourney the cash prizes will be awarded to the 3 players with the most points.
1st place – £750 cash
2nd place– £500 cash
3rd place – £250 cash
To make sure everyone has a fair chance, we’re setting a 4 card max on these games, and the cards will be at the usual price for the room. We’ll also put up a leader board as soon as we can so you can keep track of how you’re doing.
The tourney starts at 09:00 hours (BST) on the 10th May and ends at 23:59 hours (BST) on the 31st May. We’ll be announcing the winners in chat and on the blog on Monday 2nd June, and in the newsletter which goes out on Friday 6th June.
Good luck everyone
