She told the Guardian: "I'd already won £5 on another scratchcard so I decided to have a go.
"I rubbed it off when I got home later and I just couldn't believe it - I'm still in a state of shock."
According to the newspaper, the mother of three does not intend to give up her bingo shifts and has continued to take the bus to work, despite her sudden wealth.
Palace Bingo is a Norfolk-based firm that also runs numbers game clubs in Great Yarmouth, Salford and south London.
