A lucky bingo winner is passing up a brand-new luxury car to get herself on the property ladder.

Yvette Brown, from Alperton, was the winner for Beacon Bingo’s prize draw which has been running since December.

Offered a brand-new Jaguar XE by “Europe’s largest bingo club”, based in Cricklewood, Yvette turned it down for the £20,000 cash alternative.

She and her husband will use the money towards buying themselves a home.

Yvette, who is a regular customer at Beacon Bingo, said: “I’m over the moon, life can be difficult nowadays and getting a foot on the property ladder is difficult.

“Thanks to my Beacon Bingo win, my husband and I will be putting this money towards a deposit, but first we are going to treat ourselves with a fantastic trip to Canada.”

The Jaguar itself has been valued at £27,000.

General manager Steve Lightfoot said: “We are delighted for Yvette.

“She is a lovely lady, well known and liked by everyone in the club and so deserving of this prize.

“It’s great to see regular customers pick up the big prizes.”
