Irish Bingo Player Gets Lucky

A Dublin born gentleman, sixty-three year old James Sheridan, recently got really lucky in a bingo hall, he hadn't been inside one for over thirty years and describes himself as "not being a bingo player at all", but a lady friend persuaded the entrepreneur to join him for a game when he dropped her at the hall.

It was a good job she did because he walked away from the bingo hall £74 000 richer. James didn't have his glasses on him so his friend daubed his tickets for him, but nonetheless he still came up a winner.

James who moved from Ballyfermot, Dublin to East-London when he was thirteen years old has two grandchildren, James (his namesake) and Marney and will be using some of his bingo winnings to treat them to something special, he also says that he is going to be giving his bingo partner something of a treat too.

It just goes to show, you never know when lady luck might be smiling down on you, and you should always take advantage of the opportunities that come your way. Like they say, if you haven't bought a ticket, you can't win!
