Bingo winner Bernadette Carter has her "lucky charm" husband Bob to thank for her 103,000 jackpot win.
The Wantage couple, pictured, were stunned after scooping a national prize. Although Mrs Carter, 47, is a keen bingo player, she insists she only won because of her "lucky charm" husband.
She said Bob, 57, a welder for Wagon Automotive in East Challow, was naturally lucky, and won a prize every time he went. They picked up the national bingo game prize of 100,000, the regional prize of 3,676 and the house prize of 150, after completing a full house in 33 numbers - the fewest anywhere nationwide - at the Gala Club in Swindon.
Mrs Carter, who has four children and six grandchildren, said: "It was a joint effort. Bob ticked off the numbers and I shouted 'House.' I don't remember what happened then as it was such a blur. I was very nervous and was shaking. I am still stunned - it hasn't sunk in yet."
