£1,000,000 Bingo Jackpot Family Feud

Bingo JackpotImagine winning a £1,000,000 bingo jackpot...!  We have all fantasised at some time how wonderful it would be and of course what we would do with the winnings and how it would change our lives :)

A 71 year old lady from Glasgow, Jean McCullagh, caused a massive family feud after she won a £1m bingo jackpot in 2007.   Jean, her sister Margaret and two sisters in law Rose and Jessie, all huge bingo fans, made an agreement with each other that should one of them win the bingo jackpot they would split the winnings four ways.  Following the win and as the champagne was popping Jean's own greed intervened and she reneged on her sisterly promise. This led her utterly shell-shocked sister and sisters in law to sue her taking Jean to court to get back what was rightfully theirs.

With £250,000 each at stake the sisters legal dispute carried on for two years during which time £200k was allegedly emptied from the bingo jackpot winnings.  Jean was forced to settle out of court and the winnings were split evening four ways between the sisters.

The final chapter of this story resulted in Jean's relationships with her family being completely destroyed and she is now not considered part of the family.  Ironically it was Jean's sister who introduced her to bingo and took her along to her first game.

To avoid this type of situation why not play bingo in an online bingo room.  You get the best of all worlds - fun filled social events with special bingo promotions for every occasion that allow you to be a part of a wonderful social bingo community and where you can make life long friends.

Oh, and when you win a jackpot you can decide in the comfort of your own home whether to split or not split ;)
