The man, who wishes to remain anonymous, was playing a national game at Mecca Bingo in the Octagon Retail Park when all of a sudden his numbers came up.

Now 50k richer, the bingo-player has some very specific plans for how he will spend his new cashload and it includes a trip to Memphis, Tennessee.

A long-time fan of Elvis Presley, the lotto winner will be splashing his cash on the trip to the king of rock and roll’s glamorous estate of Graceland.

The bingo hall said that the lucky punter was a regular customer and that he had been playing with his family when he won big on June 17, according to Stoke-on-Trent Live.

Helen Swift, general manager at Mecca Bingo Stoke, said: “We’re always delighted for our winners, and the £50K National Bingo Game jackpot is a true life-changer.

“We’re thrilled that one of our regular players is able to fulfil a life-long dream with their winnings and look forward to welcoming future players to try their luck.”

It comes as another fortunate winner who scored a £300million lottery win revealed he wished he had torn up his ticket.

Instead of getting good luck and fortune, Andrew ‘Jack’ Whittaker’s life was cursed with family deaths, divorce, and gambling addiction.

In happier news, another lottery winner’s life was turned around thanks to a whopping £1.5million jackpot.

Tammy Gordy, 56, and husband Steve became homeless when a freak tornado tore through their home 22 years ago.

Now, the amazed couple are able to finally build a new home after years of struggling thanks to their Powerball win.
