Its official – Glasgow Forge bingo hall is the luckiest bingo arena in the nation!

The venue has now produced two millionaires in three weeks.

The latest winner is a 69-year-old woman, from Glasgow.

Located in the city’s East End Glasgow Forge Bingo Hall has now seen two of it’s locals scoop the top prize in the UK wide contest.

It was only the pensioner's second ever visit to the club, now hailed the luckiest hall in Britain.

Joe Marshall, 25, operations manager at the Mecca venue, said: "We expected to make a millionaire once every 45 days - but we have done it twice in 21.

"We always knew it was the luckiest bingo hall and this has just proved it."

But Mr. Marshall refused to name the winner, who wishes to remain anonymous.

The first to win £1m at Glasgow Forge was 46-year-old Margaret Shearer.

She became Britain's first bingo club millionaire when she hit the jackpot three weeks ago.

Ms Shearer, who was playing with her mother Margaret Money, only went to the game because she had lost her job at a biscuit factory three weeks ago.
 
The win came just weeks after the gaming laws were relaxed to allow such huge prizes in clubs.

Ms Shearer, from the Ruchazie area of Glasgow, had worked at the McVitie's factory in Glasgow until she was laid off last month.

Three people have scooped Mecca's £1m since the nationwide competition started on 1 September.

Amazingly each of the wins has come on a Friday night, and each time the same bingo caller has been announcing the numbers.
 
Will Willard, who works at a branch of Mecca in Cwmbran, Wales, has been dubbed "The Man with the Golden Voice".
 
He said: "I couldn't believe it when I realised I'd made it three in a row. If it carries on like this I might have to get my voice insured!"

Mecca runs 102 bingo halls across the country, and the millionaire competition is played twice a day at £2 a game.
