Happy but Confused on Bingo Win

I've just had my first win on free bingo - Wohoo - of £25. The jackpot said £500 and I thought my heart was going to burst out of my chest when it said i've won, but it now it's saying I won £25 - which I promptly withdrew - and it doesn't say anyone else won as well. Does anyone have any ideas as to why it's gone from £500 to £25? :D

  • The jackpot is likely to have been the amount you would have won if you had finished your card before a certain number of balls had been drawn.

    You probably just won the full house and not the jackpot.

    Like you say £500 in pool but must be other winners . Do not get drawn in , can only lose in long run .
  • Thanks to you both. I am only using the free money of course. £25 is still not be sniffed at! lol :D
  • Nice one - £25 for nothing is excellent!! I think the jackpot only pays out at x number of balls and then after that it drops to the Full House prize.
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    I recently won £54 on foxy bingo using the £10 they give you. I had to add a min of £5 to withdraw the money, but as I was allowed take the £5 straight out with my winnings I didnt mind too much. Its very important to walk away, dont be tempted to go back and use the winnings, just enjoy the £25 :)
