A grandmother won £29,000 on the bingo - but she doesn't plan to spend a penny of it on living the high life.

The 75-year-old from Worthing and her husband, neither of whom wanted to be named, both burst into tears when they heard she had won.

She scooped the National Bingo Game prize of £25,000, the regional prize of £3,968 and the house prize of £54 at the Gala Club in Rowlands Road, Worthing.

All the cash will go into trust funds for the couple's two grandchildren "to set them up for life".

Assistant manager Tracy Leake said: "They cried their eyes out when we announced how much they'd won.

"They couldn't believe it. They have a son and two grandchildren who came to pick them up.

She told me the children always ask, 'Did you win, Nanny?', and that she was going to say, 'Yes - 29 ...' and then pause before adding 'thousand pounds'."

"They are going to spend it all on their grandchildren but said they'd give themselves a little treat."

The couple have been members of the club for 11 years and were back playing bingo again yesterday.

The woman scooped the biggest prize at the club in almost six months with a full house of 41 numbers.

The national prize on Saturday was £50,000, which was shared with a player in Cleethorpes.
