Bingo may not be the first activity that comes to mind when envisaging a celebrity’s downtime, yet more big names are dabbling in a bit of bingo to get their gambling fix.

Denise Van Outen enjoys the game, while even Prince William, taking some respite from Sandhurst, spent £5 on a book of tickets for an evening’s play recently, although he is clearly not the last of the big spenders. And Russell Crowe and Ricky Tomlinson have both been bingo callers in the past.

So for a chance to mingle with the stars and possibly scoop a major prize why not play online bingo?

Once such lucky online bingo winner was Paula L; the latest in a long line of big winners from the Jackpotjoy gaming site, who found her bank balance bulging after simply logging onto the website to enjoy a game of bingo with her sister.

Paula’s victory certainly came in the most unexpected of ways. She had only been a member of the Jackpotjoy website for three days when her sister got in touch and suggested that they log onto the website and enjoy a few games of Bingo-90 ball together, while they chatted and socialised. Paula revealed that she left the first room when another lucky player landed the £5,000+ progressive jackpot.

Who knows, you may well be playing against some famous celebrities, as well as winners like Paula when you next log on to the site; perhaps the mysterious Jackpotjoy member with a strange pseudonym in your bingo chat room is actually Catherine Zeta Jones or Cheryl Cole.

Jackpotjoy is popularised by the friendly face of the Queen of Bingo, better known as one of the UK's greatest national treasures, Barbara Windsor. The site offers a wide variety of games to try, including online slot machines, casino games, roulette, scratch cards and a variety of bingo games. It was the latter of these that proved to be the catalyst for celebration in Paula’s household.

Turning their attentions to a different room, with a progressive jackpot in excess of £27,000, Paula and her sister could not believe their luck as Paula’s numbers were marked off, one by one, landing her not only victory, but a progressive jackpot of £27,873 to boot.

Paula’s big win was certainly fortuitous and has allowed her a taste of the celebrity lifestyle. In addition, she has made plans to ensure that she properly thanks her sister.

“My sister is getting married and with this win she can get it done sooner than expected,” Paula revealed.

Will you be one of the next lucky winners to hit the jackpot joy? With hundreds of different games, including online slots and bingo to casino games, not to mention a number of TV tie in games, such as Deal or No Deal, there is plenty of choice and always a chance you can land that big progressive jackpot which will allow you all the luxuries of a celebrity lifestyle; without the intrusive invasion of the paparazzi, as you might just be playing in your dressing gown and slippers!
