The Heart & Stroke TV Bingo Progressive Jackpot is back and building again for another big win. Our November 7 game features a $8,000* Progressive Jackpot – that’s a $5,000 prize for a Full Card Bingo with a $3,000 bonus for winning in 50 balls or less. The jackpot will continue to build every week by $1,000 to a maximum of a $18,000 total prize until it’s won. We’ll also increase the ball limit each month. Not that Eileen needed more calls to win! Her amazing $18,000 Progressive Jackpot was won in just 49 balls.
At first, Heart & Stroke TV Bingo gave her and her husband Ron a fun activity to do during pandemic lockdowns while supporting a meaningful cause. “I was never really much of a bingo player, but we’ve always been supporters of Heart and Stroke,” says Eileen. “We used to give every year when the volunteer canvasser came around. I’d be waiting at the door when I saw her coming up the driveway.”
Like so many people here in Nova Scotia, Eileen’s family has been directly impacted by heart disease. Her brother lives with a heart condition and they sadly lost their sister to a heart attack. Ron has a cardiac stent.
Eileen says she feels great about supporting Heart & Stroke through the TV Bingo program and has really enjoyed getting into bingo playing right from her own home.
“I have a sparkly bingo dauber and a bingo bag I won from Heart & Stroke TV Bingo too! I mark my cards all the time with my fancy daubers.”
Her lucky ‘Big Win’ card was purchased at the Porters Lake Circle K, where the couple buy their weekly cards.
Eileen and Ron plan add their winnings to their savings putting some of it towards a new roof in the spring and helping out their grandchildren, too.
Congratulations, Eileen on your win and thank you so much for your on-going support!
