Bingo Player Wins Jackpot Legion
Bingo player – Kristen Schaeppi – is an avid Bingo player and has been for several years. She started playing Bingo with her grandmother and up until last week the most she had ever won was $200. On March 13th 27 year old Schaeppi was playing in the statewide Bingo game held at the Legion. She seemed to be doing fare most of the way through and it wasn’t until the jackpot game that she started to see an improvement.
“I noticed I started getting the numbers one right after another,” said Schaeppi. In order to win you have to fill all of the open spaces on the card that you are given. She was surprised to win and showed her enthusiasm to the whole room. John Edmund – the gambling manager for Legion stated, “I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone holler ‘Bingo!’ quite so loud! Usually you have trouble hearing them over the Bingo machine.”
She won the jackpot of $20,553.50 – which when taxes are taken out she will get $14,000 of them. Schaeppi couldn’t believe her eyes. “I was shocked,” she said. “I was kind of worried I might have misdaubed something. I was a little scared I might not have won.”
It was a very close win. She won in only 50 numbers – but if it has been just three more numbers and if no one had completed their cards when the 53rd number had been called the jackpot would have been moved to another day and the next prize would have been the consolation prize of $1,000.
But she did won and now she is trying to find out exactly what she is going to do with all that money. She did state that she and her boyfriend might use the money to take a long vacation and to pay off some bills. She has always wanted to visit Nashville, “I like country music, so it’s someplace I’ve always wanted to go,” she said.
