The kind-hearted player has even offered to split half with her friend Dawn, who was with her on the night of her huge win.

Shirley, who has attended her local bingo club on Stonebridge Lane for the past 23 years, said: “I’m so grateful to have won the £50,000 jackpot.

“The most I have ever won is £2,500 so I couldn’t quite believe it.

“I still find myself shaking when I tell people about it.”

Buzz Bingo are planning to throw Shirley a party to celebrate her win.
