A holiday to Mexico has been earmarked by one family as one of the things to do with their online bingo windfall.

Deborah D pocketed £36,795 playing the numbers game at Daily Star Bingo recently and she told the website that she wanted to take her daughter across the Atlantic in order to be able to swim with dolphins.

Her success came on the Bingo Gold offering from the site, which is powered by JackpotJoy.

Explaining the events on the day she won the big prize, Deborah revealed that she was only playing the internet game to get out of the way.

She told the site: "My daughter still had friends over from a sleepover on the morning I won. I was doing housework and didn’t want to disturb them with the hoover so decided to have a game of bingo."

The family have not been on holiday for a while, so it seemed fitting that some of the winnings have been planned for a trip away.

Online bingo player katet recently won £19,607 playing at 888Ladies, highlighting how the game can make people richer.
