Gambling | Super Gran (86) ~ £105,000 Bingo Career
A great-grandmother has revealed for the first time today how she has spent almost �105,000 - playing bingo.
Former accountant Madge Rowland likes figures so much she has spent hundreds of thousands of pounds on her favourite numbers game.
Since 1976, she has spent £104,905 on her daily bingo sessions. Her winnings during that time total £81,748, meaning she has lost £23,157.
"I've spent a lot and won a little but I don't mind. It's my money and for the entertainment it gives me I'd say it's been worth every penny," she said.
Mrs Rowland (86) has kept a hand-written log of her bingo expenses since retiring 28 years ago. Her records show that in 1976, she spent just over £1,000 on the game but in 2003 the figure reached nearly £5,500.
"It didn't cost me that much when I started but the prices have gone up over the years. I spend about £120 a week now," she said.
