Luck struck on Mansfield this weekend as the town produced an Olympic gold medallist and also an Online Bingo winner. At the same time Rebecca Adlington claimed gold in the womens’ 400m freestyle swimming race at the Beijing Olympics, Mansfield’s Pamela Amber won an amazing 51.544 Pound jackpot at ITV Bingo online.

The 52-year-old Online Bingo fan was playing at ITV Bingo’s ‘Coffee Lounge’ when she landed the great prize. Pamela was absolutely surprised and said: “I was stunned, didn’t really move, giggled, looked again and again and then I got off my chair and screamed.

Then she added: “I phoned my husband at work and told him the news and he couldn’t believe it.” Pamela also won a trip to Las Vegas and a new kitchen. Furthermore, she is now planning to send her daughter Aimee to university.
