He told the newspaper: "When I won I was in shock … I don't think I will really believe how much I've won until I have the money in my hands."
Durwin Reay, manager of Gala Bingo in Kettering, described the jackpot as "a tremendous win for someone so new to the game".
With over 175 clubs in the UK, Gala pays out approximately £28 million in bingo prizes each week.
