Anyone here go to bingo?

My boyfriend and his family go to Bingo at least once a week. They have won a couple of big prizes and a few small ones but never the BIG one. I have been with them a couple of times and I'm sorry to say I find it mind numbingly boring. So do you go to bingo, do you or have you won much and do you think it's worth it? Consider that it costs £10 - £15 every time you go and thats without drinks or transport there and back. I think you end up paying them more than you'll ever win.

I used to go weekly, before I had ds2 - won a few hundred a couple of times, went with another girl and we would share winnings so made it better! lol

But like gran says it was a night out! (now I don't go out at all:rotfl: not enough hours in the day!)

I go to Bingo, me and my b/f are usually quite lucky, not had a decent win for a while though, but maybe its just saving up all my luck for the big jackpot lol

My nana won 20,000 a few years ago. She had a pact with a friend to share all their winnings so she gave her friend 10,000! :O

I dont go but have heard of people that go and they do win every so often, though whether its enough to cover teh outgoings I wouldnt have thought so!

me and my sister started going on a thursday night three weeks ago and we have won £150 and the drinks are only 70p for half a lager so its not bad really. We both have kids and its the only night we get to be just 'us' not mams! We get to be sisters again

I go to bingo, although I can't say its ever cost me that much! Its £6 for the mains, £1 for the flyer and £1.50 for lates if we decide to stay. The drinks are ashamdly cheap, 60p for a pint of coke.

I have had a win of £500 but we always split it if its more than £25 so we always end up at least having our night paid for.

Your paying for the entertainment, not just the chance to win something. If I was only going for the pure idea I might win a tenner, then I would stop going.
