Bingo fan hits the jackpot on cruise
A couple from Daisyfield, Blackburn, were happy enough to be on their first ever cruise, but when a £15 bingo ticket turned out to be the lucky winner their cruise really did turn into the trip of a lifetime.
54 year old Maureen Klopocinski saved hard to get £1,300 to treat her 59 year old husband Michael to a cruise after he survived a heart attack. Along with her father, 80 year old Harry Kinney and niece, 36 year old Kate Grant they were enjoying a week long cruise, visiting Dubrovnik, Greece, Corfu and Venice on the Royal Caribbean operated cruise. After Maureen won the internet bingo game though they were upgraded to a £1,400 per-night suite, ending up next door to the captain.
Their original suite would have fitted inside the bathroom of their new home, the Royal Suite, which came complete with a grand piano, two balconies, a spa bath and even their own bar. Maureen said she was so excited about the fact that the bathroom, complete with mirrored ceiling, came fitted with a telephone next to the toilet, she ‘screamed like a banshee’ when she realised she had won.
The lucky bingo winner commented: “It was an incredible prize to win. I couldn’t believe it when they took us up to the suite. We had never even been on a cruise before and we ended up treated like royalty. The suite was unbelievable. Our original room didn’t even have a window and then we ended up staying next door to the captain.” She added: “It really was an out of this world holiday and we were so pleased. On the first night we held a little party in the room for all of the friends we made on the trip and even hired a professional pianist to entertain us.
When Maureen entered the game she admits she was not feeling very optimistic – she said: “It sounded like fun but I was up against hundreds of others. At the end they made everyone who was down to just one number stand up. There was a lot of us standing and I was just waiting for 37 to come up. When I did I went wild. They told me that porters would come to the room to help transfer us but I couldn’t wait. I raced to our room and took everything up myself. I was so excited!”
We think this is a lovely story, and proof that you have to speculate to accumulate!
