Winning a big bingo reward is something most can only imagine, the people listed below not only won some big bingo rewards but the biggest bingo rewards in history! Check out online bingo games at BarbadosBingo.com as well. 

John Orchard Received £5.9 Million 

Perhaps the most famous bingo winner in history, John Orchard won almost six million pounds playing bingo! He had only bet a mere thirty pence at an online bingo site, getting a massive return thanks to his win! Residing in Lincolnshire, John Orchard was a factory worker who lived with his wife. Reported by 3ch8.com , their whole life changed when he turned sixty and decided to place this small bet. Despite winning this massive amount of money, John Orchard never lost touch with his working class roots. He told reporters that he would continue to work in the factory for at least another five years. He even still lives in Lincolnshire with his wife, with a brand new house of course! 

Georgios M Won £5.1 Million 

Unfortunately, there is not a lot of information known about the mysterious Georgios M. What is known is that before John Orchard won his reward in 2012, Georgios M was the original recipient of the largest bingo reward in history. Unlike other winners, Georgios M decided that he would rather remain anonymous so we will likely never know what he spent his fortune on. What is known about Georgios M is that he was a Greek businessman, who was only 36 years old when he won the prize! 

Lisa Potter Gained £1.3 Million 

While this amount is not as big as the other bingo rewards on our list, it is still a hefty sum of money. This win took place during the summer of 2012, when the England football team was busy trying to win the European championships. This is important because Lisa Potter’s husband was ignoring her in favour of watching the football, Lisa Potter decided to try online Bingo whilst he was occupied with the football. This decision may have been one of the best she ever made, she placed a small bet of five pounds and eventually found that she had won the jackpot! Lisa Potter was only thirty three years old at the time of the win, the mum of three was later quoted as saying she wished to purchase a new house and a brand new car. 

Soraya Lowell Won £1.2 Million 

This winner came all the way from South Lanarkshire in Scotland! Soraya Lowell was a cleaner who spent her time cleaning other people’s messes, that all changed when she decided to play some bingo in 2008. Generously, Soraya decided to give half of her winnings to her bingo partner Agnes O’Neil. The mother of four still had over half a million pounds to her name and decided to buy things such as yachts. However this story does not have a happy ending as four years later Soraya Lowell had to fill for bankruptcy owing to an increasing number of debts. 

Conclusion 

We all have dreams of winning a huge jackpot, these players actually get to live the dream! Unfortunately not all of them are happy, proving that money doesn’t necessarily make somebody happy.
