Latest Progressive Jackpot Winner at BingoMega Quarters

Shortly after winning an amazing $1 ,631.38 on a progressive bingo jackpot at BingoMEGA Quarters we caught up with the lucky online bingo player, nicknamed “ ednbrat ” for a quick chat.

She started by saying: “When I won the jackpot I was shocked. I was petting my dog and won on the six square game, I looked down and saw 0 balls and I thought great I won $20.00. Then the notice came that I was a jackpot winner and when I saw the jackpot amount hit my credits I honestly cried.″

With her winnings she had this to say: “I know it sounds silly but I paid some bills. I wish to thank you for making my life a little brighter and easier and for always being a great place to have fun. At this time I am on disability and you fill a lot of time for me.″

 

She concluded by saying: “I have always loved BingoMEGA Quarters. I love the look of the game and the ability to play what card number combinations I like. Being able to choose your cards is a winner for me. I also love the CM’s and the chat games.”

Armed Bingo Attackers Sentenced

With the loot split evenly four ways, the quickly hatched plot to rob Pamela Anderson of her bingo winnings would have made each conspirator nearly $1,500 richer. Instead, the 2003 attempted robbery and shooting nearly killed the Hobe Sound woman and landed all four Palm Beach County residents involved in jail for at least the next decade.

A Martin Circuit judge sentenced Calvin Morgan to 40 years in prison and Tiffany Washington to 10 years Friday for their role in the attempted killing. Brenton Johnson, the triggerman, was sentenced to life in prison in late October. His sister, Natia Johnson, 25, was sentenced in December to 20 years in prison.

“Everything about this case is tragic,” Martin Circuit Judge Larry Schack said during the sentencing hearing. “Everyone’s life in this case has been ruined.”

Anderson, a mother of nine, lost her spleen, a kidney and parts of her intestines after Brenton Johnson shot her in an attempt to make her get out of her car. The bullet that ripped through Anderson’s abdomen also caused her to lose hearing in one ear and froze one side of her face.
Both Morgan, 20, and Washington, 24, apologized to Anderson and asked Schack for leniency in sentencing. Morgan swayed from side to side and shook his head after Schack sentenced him. He had asked for 10 years of probation.

“He gave me 40 years,” he said under his breath, shaking his head as he walked away from a podium. Morgan’s family members who attended the hearing declined to comment on his sentence.

Washington, who received the lightest sentence of the four, cooperated with prosecutors from the onset of the investigation. Had any of the other cases gone to trial, she would have testified that Morgan and Brenton Johnson were the enforcers of Natia Johnson’s plan to take Anderson’s winnings.

The story Washington gave police that day in August 2003 was one of a robbery plan that quickly spiraled out of control. Natia Johnson had picked her up earlier that day, she said. They drove around for a while, smoked marijuana, and then went to a West Palm Beach bingo hall, according to court records. Washington told prosecutors that she stayed outside while Natia Johnson went in. She said Natia Johnson called her awhile later with a quick demand.

“Go pick up my brother. Someone just won five thousand dollars,” Washington said her friend told her. After Washington picked up Brenton Johnson and Morgan, they returned to the bingo hall where Natia Johnson joined them.

Anderson, who had actually won closer to $6,000, walked out of the hall with a friend, Catherine Plossl.

The foursome had planned to rob Anderson outside the bingo hall. “But she got in her car too fast,” Washington said. So the four followed Anderson and Plossl as they drove to Anderson’s home in Hobe Sound. Natia Johnson was driving, according to Washington.

Washington said Morgan and Brenton Johnson got out of their car when Anderson arrived at home. They demanded Anderson get out of her car. She refused. Washington said Brenton Johnson responded by shooting her. Anderson managed to drive away, but she drove off the road and nearly died before she was taken to the hospital.

Anderson attended Friday’s sentencing but did not respond to the apologies from Morgan and Washington. In the past, she has rebuked the four for letting their greed steal two years from her life with her children.

Washington’s family and friends had asked Schack to give her six years in prison instead of the 10 she received, saying that she had a good heart and came from a good family. “She just got caught up in the wrong crowd,” Dorothy Washington said of her niece. “She’s a good person, though. She’ll survive this.”

17 Year Old Bingo Player Loses £200,000 Win

A TEENAGER who won more than £200,000 on the bingo in the UK won’t receive a penny because she’s too young.

The unnamed youngster shocked fellow bingoers last Sunday by calling house after just 35 numbers, scooping the £200,000 national prize and the £1969 regional prize.

However, within hours of winning the life-changing prize, it emerged that she broke UK Gaming laws by telling club officials she was 18 when she was only 17.

It is thought she was playing bingo for the first time having gone along to keep her mother company.

One player, who was sat in front of the teenager, said the girl seemed to be unsure of how to play the game. “When she called ‘house’ people thought she must have made a mistake and only got a single line of numbers.

“I am sure she had no idea how big a win she was in for.”
“When it was announced, everyone cheered – she got a standing ovation.”
“At one point she went out for air because it was too much for her.”
A National Bingo Games Association spokesman confirmed that they thought the girl had won the top prize, before discovering she was not 18.

He added: “The young woman had joined the club that evening, signing a declaration that she was 18.”

“Subsequently, the club and the association were told she was only 17 and therefore not legally old enough to join a club and play bingo.”

“The prize will go to the player who scored the next lowest number in the national game on that night, which was a gentleman in London who called in 36 numbers.”
