A lucky Glaswegian has won a third of a million pounds from a 1p bingo ticket. 

The mystery winner was playing online in the Penny Lane bingo room and had purchased 54 tickets at a penny each.

And they managed to win an incredible £33,472.18 - the Premiere Diamond Jackpot - on Sunday evening. 

Penny Lane is one of the online bingo rooms at Mecca Bingo and pays out over £100,000 in prizes each week on 1p tickets.

While prizes vary by game and are usually up to £500, with potentially life-changing prize pots when the Premiere Jackpot lands. 

Head of Meccabingo.com, Rob Lee, said: “Premiere jackpots grow progressively and drop randomly in our bingo rooms. 

"We’re always thrilled for our winners and a £33,000 jackpot on a 1p ticket is a real cause for celebration!

"Never has the expression, ‘look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves’, been truer!"

Data collected by Mecca Bingo declares that Glasgow is the luckiest city in the UK when it comes to playing bingo.

Last year, £1.8 million was shared between 3,301 online bingo and slots players.
