A BRACKNELL man has hit the jackpot at a Reading venue which is now set to host a celebration party next week.

Will Evans took home a hefty prize of £50,000 during a visit to BJ’s Bingo last Sunday, August 3.

Mr Evans has been a member since October 2023 and his visit on Sunday was only his fifth time, during which all of his numbers came up, garnering him the top prize.

To mark the win, BJ’s Bingo in Reading will host a Celebration Party on Sunday, August 17, where all guests can enjoy half-price food and drinks on selected lines and the chance to win £50,000 in the National Bingo Game.

Mr Evans said following the win: “I’m still in shock–I’ve only been playing a handful of times, and to walk away with £50,000… it’s unbelievable.

“I will certainly be coming more regularly now”
