Plus Times Two for Lucky Cobourg Woman

Celebrates Second Big Link Bingo Plus Jackpot


Marjorie Farrell of Cobourg won big for the second time in two years playing the Big Link Bingo Plus game at Bingo Country Cobourg. A regular player, Marjorie will collect a $124,852.78 jackpot for saying yes to Plus, a bonus game that can be played for $1. Marjorie’s prize without Plus would have been just over $700.

This is the second time that the Cobourg grandmother has won big with Big Link Bingo. In September 2004, she won $79,729.08 at the same hall, also on the $1 Plus game. Her most recent win on August 14, 2006 came with some surprise. “I hollered Bingo and thought I won the Plus jackpot, but I didn’t want to say anything until they checked the card just to make sure.” Marjorie has no specific plans for her latest big win.

Bingo Country Cobourg will host a special celebration for Marjorie at the hall. Media are invited to the celebration which will take place at:
Bingo Country Cobourg
884 Division Street
Suite 206
Cobourg, ON
August 24, 2006
12:15 p.m.
