A bingo fan who has been spent more than three decades travelling to Southampton for medical treatment has scooped the £100,000 jackpot at Buzz Bingo in Lordshill. 

It's a life-changing win for Charlotte Volante, from St Clement in Jersey, who struck gold on Saturday (February 1).

As a poorly newborn, Charlotte was transferred to Southampton General Hospital, where she was later diagnosed with Spina Bifida.

For over 30 years, her family have made regular trips to Southampton for extended medical stays, often involving visits to the bingo for her parents and Charlotte, once she turned 18.

Charlotte's bingo gang grew when she met Michelle Lane on holiday in Turkey. Living nearby, she began to join Charlotte and her family for bingo nights. 

A special winner's party will take place this weekend.

Buzz Bingo Lordshill club manager Simon Sparrow said: "All of our team extends their heartfelt congratulations to Charlotte on her life-changing win and wishes her all the best for the future.

"This heart-warming story showcases not only the excitement of bingo but also the friendships and connections it fosters over time.
