A mystery woman from Liverpool is now £74k richer after spending just 50p on an online bingo ticket.
The mum-of-one, who goes by the chat name JPC1104, only began playing Mecca Bingo online during the first lockdown whilst furloughed after being recommended by family and friends.
The winner, who asked to remain anonymous, never thought she would win a jackpot and usually considers herself a "famously unlucky person."

After winning a total £74,042.02, she said: "I was so surprised when I won, all my husband and I could think to do was to order a takeaway and a bottle of wine to celebrate - we definitely kept it low key.
"He's more in shock than I am, so we're giving it a bit of time to let it sink in before we all go out to celebrate in style."
After having time to think about what she would spend her life-changing winnings on, the woman said she plans to spend some of her winnings on her new house that needs a few renovations, along with paying off some of the household bills.
The win has allowed her to bring forward the renovations she was expecting to have to wait a while to complete, and the first job on the list is a new bathroom.
After the renovations, she hopes there is some money left for a new car and she’s got her heart set on her favourite brand - a Volvo.
Catherine Warrilow, Head of PR and Content at MeccaBingo.com, said: “We’re so happy for our fabulous winner and we’re thrilled that she is using her winnings to create the perfect home for her family.”
