Jackpotjoy are turning my day upside down today, but one thing’s for certain – their aim was to cheer people up on a day that research has said is one of the most depressing in the calendar and in my case that has certainly worked and I haven’t even won anything – yet!
Barbara Windsor is in the Jackpotjoy office in her role as their Queen of Bingo and she has thousands of pounds to give away. She is making calls to online bingo players and there is lots going on on the Jackpotjoy Facebook page too involving giving money away and everyone is getting really into it.
Jackpotjoy Bingo are putting some of the calls on Facebook. The first one found a very happy lady who was told she had won £100. Barbara asked where she was – turned out to be Tenerife!! You would have thought that would have been a very short call, paying to call a mobile abroad, but no – the conversation lasted two and a half minutes. The call will nearly have cost the same again as the prize money.
This afternoon I got a call!! Yes, I got all giddy. The ‘phone rang. I didn’t know the number. I took a deep breath, answered with a loud ‘Oi, Oi, Oi’ and was met by silence. I waited a few seconds then a male voice said ‘This is Neil, from Policy Expert – can I talk to you about the quote you obtained recently?’
I fell about. I couldn’t speak – not to mention the guys in the office having a good laugh at my expense. That poor man. Sorry Neil, we weren’t laughing at you – Jackpotjoy has got a lot to answer for today.
There are going to be a lot of happy people around the country (and in Tenerife) today, with each call or Facebook prize being worth lots of lovely cash and I wonder how many will have done what I did? Let me know if you got yourself into a scrape by taking part in this promo – or if you really got a call.
