Trivia

On 7 August 2010, Pamela Mullins of Arbourthorne, Sheffield, won £290,000 as a phone-in player. She told local paper, the South Yorkshire Star, "I was absolutely stunned. 'Gob-smacked' as we say in Yorkshire. My husband was at the local working men's club playing bingo, trying to get some extra Euros for our holiday. When he came back he came upstairs and said, 'I ain't won owt'. When I told him he went ashen - he thought I'd had too much to drink."
