Forget the lottery and the pools or spot the ball, remember that? Anyway a market trader has scooped £1.3 million in an instant playing online with Jackpotjoy. Yep you read it correctly, one point three million pounds! Here are the quotes…

Keith R, Jackpotjoy’s biggest ever winner, was left in shock on at 11:42 on Saturday morning after he scooped a staggering £1,365,996.64 playing Deal or No Deal online.

“On the day itself, I was working on the market and I headed home early, it was just so cold and quiet. My wife offered me a coffee and I switched on the computer and saw the banner for £1.3 million. I just knew I had to give it a try.

“Almost before I knew it, I had five numbers left, £14, £16, £40, £200 and the jackpot. I knew it wasn’t gonna make it easy, but I picked another 3 numbers and found myself looking at £200 and the big one.

“Then the offer came in at £362, and I knew there was no-way I’d take it! So I said No Deal and the box came forward and … the moment itself was weird … I kinda knew I’d see £200 in the box and I was fine with it. Completely fine with it.

“But then … coming from out of the box, came the number: £1,365, 996.64 and … I mean … Everything changed.”

Keith is married market trader with one daughter and is currently deciding what to do with the life changing sum of money.

“It’s amazing, I’ve got enough to pay off all my debts and still have change to buy a new house. I can’t believe this has happened, nothing will be the same again.

“I think the only way to sum it up was to repeat what I wrote in chat after I’d won: This is a mind numbingly life changing event.”

Jackpotjoy are pleased to wish Keith and his family the best of luck for the future!

What a great story! Well thats enough writing for today, i’m off to have a dabble on Deal or No Deal!

The people of Liverpool are in for a shock this week as Ladbrokesbingo.com, one of the UK’s leading online bingo sites, has taken over this city to record a fun and fast-paced television ad campaign that celebrates the nation’s love of bingo.  On location in the European Capital of Culture’s red terraced streets and taking in some of the city’s most iconic landmarks, the exhilarating shoot features a number of 13-foot giant spheres rolling around the city in an enormous invasion of bingo balls.

Promising to represent the fun that can be had playing the nation’s favourite game, the advert will feature the giant multi-coloured bingo balls hurtling past a selection of Liverpool’s finest features including The Liver Building, The Steble Fountain, St George’s Hall and Museum Steps, as well as terraced streets of Badminton Avenue and the quaint Lark Lane when it airs in September.

Another Jacks or Better winner!

Congratulations to Nicola W who’s just won £7,596 playing Jackpotjoy’s fantastic Casino game Jacks or Better. Here’s what she had to say when we got on the phone to her.
“It was lovely… and surprising! I logged in and thought I’d have a little play. I wasn’t really concentrating and then the money dropped in!”
It’s not every day that you win such an incredible Jackpot, so what did Nicola do first when the moment hit?
“I didn’t really know what I should do afterward. I guess I just started thinking about what to buy! I need to get a new mobile and new mp3. It’s not very extravagant but this money comes in handy as I spend a lot of time in Spain as well.”
After this win, you’d expect Jacks or Better to remain Nicola’s favourite game, but being such a Jackpotjoy fan, she’s loyal to other games too!
“I’d say my favourite game is the poker offerings but I also really enjoy Deal or No Deal Slots too!”

Over £48,941 won on Full House Bingo!

Francis C’s just got £48,941 playing the recently launched 90 ball game Full House Bingo!

Keen to find out what was going around the latest winner’s head, we got on the phone to her and asked.
“I can’t believe it… It’s so sweet. I bought £75 worth of tickets and won the house Jackpot. Then, I played again and won £40 on the third attempt. I was just messing about and somehow I won the big one! I just couldn’t believe it. Thinks like this just don’t happen to me.”

“I’ve never been lucky before in my life. I told my Mrs and she didn’t believe it either. I guess it hasn’t sunk in yet and it probably won’t until I’m holding the cheque. I’m still shaking… I can’t think… I just can’t even use this phone right now. It’s unbelievable!”

Full House Bingo’s £56,000 is won!
And yet another member’s become a huge winner after playing Full House Bingo, have a quick read about the win before you sign up…

Joanne W’s bagged over £56,000 and as you’d expect, is over the moon!
“I can’t believe it at the minute. I don’t think I will until the money’s landed in the bank. I just couldn’t believe it at the time. I’m expecting a baby so it’ll come in handy!”
Until the money’s showed up in the bank and the new baby’s arrived,

Joanne’s got some time to decide what she’ll be getting up to with the cash.
“I’ve got three other children so I think we’ll go on holiday. They don’t know yet. I’ve only told my parents so far, but it’s just great! I don’t have to worry about business for a while. “
And how did Joanne’s fellow Jackpotjoy fans react when the jackpot landed in her balance?
“I was in Chat when I won. They all said thank you. It was really special!”

Kevin D’s £24,196 Diamond Nest

It was a sickie well used, as Kevin contemplated on his sofa as to what treats he was going to line up for him and his family!
“We haven’t been able to afford a holiday for a while so now we can look forward to going abroad!”

This one is a bit of a cut and paste job, but i thought i’d best not waste any time getting the latest list of winners on my website as it seems that lots of people like searching for them! They sure do win a lot of money with this online bingo don’t they? maybe i should stop writing about it and start playing it instead. Well without anymore further ado, here they are in pretty much unedited format:

Deal or No Deal £239,088 Jackpot Winner
The latest Deal or No Deal Jackpot`s just been won by London`s Alena S. We just got off the phone to find out how she`s feeling, and had a chat with her shocked son too!

“I can`t believe it. I keep thinking I haven`t won, but I have! I`ve been in chat telling everyone. It`s quite shocking. It`s amazing!”
Alena, who`s been a member of Jackpotjoy since August 2007, was too took by surprise to make many plans with the cash but there`s a couple of things already on her ‘to do’ list.

“I`m going to pay off the mortgage and help out the family, starting with my parents. My son will already have a list of things he wants too! I love the Deal or No Deal show so I just can`t believe this win!”
During the phone call, Alena`s son William was nearby and was passed the handset so Alena could have a moment to herself to take it all in.
“I`m in disbelief that she`s won! I can`t really think what to say. I`d just come back from the shops and she was screaming.”

“I asked her what`s wrong. At first I thought she`d made a mistake because she`s thought she`d won before. This time it`s real!” The research company employee will now be making her way to London for a complimentary trip which is shaping up to be quite the double celebration.
“I`d love to come to town. It`s my birthday on Friday!”

£158,853 Strike It Lucky Jackpot Won
We have just got off the phone with Paul M, our latest big Strike It Lucky winner.
Bagging an incredible GBP 158,853 the financial services worker seemed taken back by the win, but we managed to find out a little about how the win felt.
“It`s really good actually. I was playing it a lot and going for the Jackpot. I was at home on my own at the time. I was just wondering if it was really real! I won around GBP 18,000 on the game just a couple of weeks ago. I`d like to win some more!”
Paul M almost missed his chance when it came to answering the final Strike It Lucky question but luckily gave the correct answer to what he first thought was a trick.
“The last question was what colour the yoke of an egg was. I almost thought it was a trick. It was a bit confusing. Egg white is the first thing that comes to your mind.”

It`s a Double Bonanza of Diamonds

Gail D has not only just won a £37,349 on a Diamond Bonanza Jackpot, but an additional £27,901 on the same game too! Amazed to hear of her incredible double win, we got right on the phone to find out how she was feeling and just how it happened.

“It`s unbelievable. I put some money into my account and only spent a little. Then I heard a noise outside the window. I got up to take a look and on my return, realized my balance. I couldn`t believe my eyes!”
Nor could Gail`s nearest and dearest, as she rang everyone with the good news, so it wasn`t surprising that by the second win, she was still finding it hard to convince them all.

“As soon as I won, I phoned all of my friends and family but I don`t think they really believed me. I`m sure they will as I plan to help my son make a deposit on a house! It just unbelievable. My family didn’t believe me when I said I had won again. At least this time I manage to see my win, unlike last time. It really is unbelievable.”

£11,905 Bullion Bonanza Winner
Ita W has just grabbed a very handsome GBP 11,905 sum playing Jackpotjoy.com Bullion Bonanza. We got on the phone to express our congratulations to hear that Ita hadn`t even realized she`d won!

Bullion Bonanzas £20,568 Prize Winner

Luckily Jackpotjoy`s free Support number was at hand and the much needed confirmation was given. Debbie really had won a huge pile of cash!

“I had to ring up Jackpotjoy`s Support team just to make sure! My two boys want to go to America, and so it`s looking like a possibility now. We can go on holiday”
