Remember our lucky winner Kathleen? Well, there's a great story behind that win!
For more than 30 years, Kathleen and Maree Thickens have been bingo partners, first playing together in Melbourne and for the past three years in Bairnsdale.
The pair have a simple arrangement: they go halves in their spending and split any winnings. β€οΈ
So, when Kathleen struck it lucky recently, it was actually Maree's lucky day too... despite her not even being at bingo! She was busy looking after the grandkids when Kathleen called with the exciting news.
To make things even more interesting, Kathleen's husband tried to convince Maree that she hadn't won at all π
When the truth finally sank in, Maree was screaming with excitement so much that the kids thought something must have been wrong.
Congratulations again to Kathleen and Maree. We love hearing the stories and friendships that make Redlegs Bingo such a special place. ππ°
