Bingo joy for nurse
A STUDENT nurse scooped £45,000 on national bingo - with a card which was paid for by her mum.
Amy Ramsdale, 20, from Wigan, was feeling lucky, so she took her mum Jean, 48, to their local bingo hall.
She said: "For some reason I wanted to go. I had no money and mum had to put mine in.
"I only noticed when I had four numbers left to get. I didn't have time to get panicked or worked up because it happened so quickly."
After an agonising half hour wait their win was confirmed. Amy said: "I thought: `I can't have won.' Then Kevin the caller pointed at me and said: `It's you.' I just burst into tears. I was in shock."
Jean, a matron for Wigan Health Trust, said: "People we didn't know came over and congratulated us, it was heart-warming.
"We're not down from cloud nine. Although you hope for a big win you always think it will happen to someone else."
Amy plans to put a deposit on a house and go to Florida with her boyfriend, while Jean wants to take husband Ian on a holiday.
One thing they agree is that they'll still play bingo. Amy said: "I won't have to ask my mum for money for a card now, though."
