A lucky mum from the West Midlands scooped a £2m jackpot after making a 40p bet in a 'life-changing' win for her family.

The 37-year-old placed her deposit on Heart Bingo’s Make Me a Millionaire slot game just days into the New Year.

The winner, who has chosen to stay anonymous, plans to use her winnings to buy a family home and new car.

The jackpot has never been won before and had been accumulating since 2017.

The slot game is based on Heart's radio competition of the same name, where listeners can win a range of cash prizes, including a top prize of £1m. In Heart Bingo’s 'Make Me A Millionaire' slot game, players have the chance to play for three progressive jackpots, including the £1m+ Jackpot King Pot.

“I played that particular slot because it was easy to use and understand. Other slot games can be complicated," said the winning mum.

"When I initially won, I didn't allow myself to believe it, until I received the phone call the next morning.

"I hadn't said anything to my partner or my children because I didn't believe it was real! This money will be life-changing for us. We'll be able to buy our own family home, a new car and it'll set us up for the rest of our lives.”

Kane Holland, account manager for game provider Blueprint, said: "What a great way to welcome in 2022! After only three weeks of live play, Heart Bingo’s exclusive slot 'Make Me A Millionaire', has already lived up to its name.

"One lucky player has landed a life changing £2m Jackpot King win! Congratulations. Our partnership with Heart Bingo has gone from strength to strength, with great titles and a positive team attitude. We will continue to bring top quality content and great experiences to players across the board."

Turlough Lally, the director of eGaming at BV Gaming, the operator of Heart Bingo, added: "It’s so great to start the year with a good news story!

"Seeing our customers win is always great to experience, but this is by far the biggest winner Heart Bingo has ever had. We're delighted for the lucky customer who beat the odds to take home our biggest ever jackpot. What a way to kick off 2022!"
