Free bingo win for TV player27/11/2008 13:27:32
A man from south Wales has won £25,000 in what was effectively a free bingo game.
Dave Weller, from Blackwood, picked up the huge Golden Jackpot after trying his luck at ITV1 show Bingo Night Live, which was hosted by Melinda Messenger.
Commenting to the series' website after his windfall, the father-of-three said he could not believe he had won so much cash "without having to spend a penny playing".
"[Our family] can really look forward to the future without any immediate money worries," he added.
Mr Weller's success came a month after Michael from Margate won a £60,000 Golden Jackpot on the show.
It was revealed recently on the programme's website, that the series - which is sponsored by PartyBingo - will not be returning.
Some 20,000 people have been issued with cash during the 99 shows aired throughout the year, according to the portal.
