A lucky player has won a huge amount at a Glasgow bingo hall - marking the fourth big jackpot this year.
The mystery winner scooped £50,000 while playing the National Bingo Game at Mecca Bingo in Parkhead last month.
Bingo caller Isobel Spencer recalled the 'buzzing' atmosphere on the night when the beloved regular realised she'd won.

The £50k jackpot is triggered when a player matches all the numbers on their ticket and claims a ‘full house’ within the first 16 numbers being called.
Isobel said: “As I called the 16th number the customer shouted. I recognised her immediately and it was so exciting to make one of our regular players a big winner.
"The whole place was buzzing and our lovely winner was stunned – I don’t think she really believed it until we let off the confetti canons to celebrate!”

Isobel, who has been at Mecca for over 27 years, continued; “I get on really well with all the customers but the delight on people’s faces when they win big is the best thing about being a caller.”
The win marks the fourth big jackpot win at Mecca’s clubs in and near Glasgow since January.
Somebody won £125,000 at Mecca in Paisley, while there were two £50,000 wins at Mecca Drumchapel.
