Paddy Power Bingo Delivers Huge Win

Paddy Power Bingo ended 2010 with a bang when it delivered a massive jackpot win in a game that began on Christmas Eve.

Regular user 'smokieboy' won half of the £104,000 ($163k) first prize when he won the Deal or No Deal bingo progressive jackpot. The remaining £52,000 was split between 400 people across the Virtue Fusion network that held tickets in the winning game, for a handy £130 each.

Smokieboy's reward

Smokieboy was reportedly felling a little under the weather when he logged on to participate in the big jackpot game, but he is feeling much better now and has said that he will use the money to pay off some bills and take a summer holiday in Australia.

His reward follows the success of one online bingo player at Bet365 Bingo who won nearly £4 million on Christmas Eve playing the Clover Rollover Slot game.
