Crewe Bingo Player Wins £20,000 Jackpot at Mecca During 60th Birthday Celebrations
16th September 2025: Bingo player, Tracey Evans, couldn’t have wished for a better 60th birthday, when she won the huge £20,000 full house prize at Mecca Bingo Crewe this month on a 10p ticket.
Tracey decided to mark her milestone birthday with a trip to her local Mecca Bingo club on Dunwoody Way with her dad and sister on Friday 5th September.
The evening got off to a lively start when Tracey's sister landed a couple of early wins. But the real excitement came during Mecca’s exclusive cross channel Mega Money Live game - launched earlier this year, the game enables club and online players to unite for one giant game.
Tracey casually mentioned to her sister that she was just one number away from dabbing off all the numbers on her ticket and getting a ‘full house’, not realising that moments later the winning call would land her the £20,000 prize.
Playing on one of Mecca’s digital tablets, when the winning number was called, Tracey was so stunned that her sister had to alert the Mecca team to her claim. With staff and players already aware it was her 60th, the full house win sparked an extra round of celebrations across the club.
And Tracey believes she had more than luck on her side: “I couldn’t believe it - it was all such a blur. My mum passed away last year, and I looked up and thought, ‘Thank you for my birthday present, Mum’.”
For Tracey and her sister, bingo is a family tradition and a way to make memories with their dad. “We take him along now and then - it’s such a lovely way to spend time together. So we thought, why not go for my birthday? Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I’d walk out with the full house prize!”
She added: “My sister and I have always shared our winnings - though we’ve never won this big and she’s usually the lucky one! This time it was my turn! Of course, I’ll be splitting the prize money with her, and as for my share… I’ve just been spoiled and pampered for my 60th, so I’ve no idea how I’ll spend it yet!”
Louise Bailey, duty manager at Mecca Bingo Crewe commented on the win: “The atmosphere in the club was electric. We’d already announced that it was Tracey’s birthday, so when her numbers came in and she landed the full house, there was a second wave of celebrations and the whole place erupted. She was in complete shock - I don’t think it sank in at first just how much she’d actually won! The Mega Money Live game was being called live from our Hull club, but the big win came home to Crewe - and we couldn’t have been more thrilled to celebrate it with her!”
