A Kilmarnock man has been left stunned after winning a life-changing £50,000 at the bingo.

Paul Dunning scooped the jackpot while playing the National Bingo Game at Club 3000 in Kilmarnock.

The huge win arrives less than a year after a mystery woman won the same amount at the Portland Street venue in November.

A regular with his wife, 63-year-old Paul won the windfall during the afternoon session on Saturday, September 28.

Paul was left ecstatic when his numbers came up and now plans to go on holiday along with starting some home improvements.

He said: “I can’t even put into words how I felt. I never thought it would happen, but I always dreamed of winning every time I came. My wife and I love coming here—the staff and the friendly atmosphere make so special; it is the luckiest club ever!

“Now, I’m planning some home improvements and a holiday, things I couldn’t do before!”

Andrew Brand, manager of Club 3000 Kilmarnock, shared his excitement: “We were thrilled to celebrate Paul’s win with him and his wife. The atmosphere was electric, with everyone cheering for one of our own. It’s amazing to see the National Bingo Big Prize claimed by another of our customers in less than a year!”

Club 3000 Bingo proved to be a lucky place once again, as a Coatbridge resident hit the jackpot, winning £100,000 on their special link game on September 29. This brought the company’s total big jackpot payouts to an impressive £150,000 in just two days.
