Gala Bingo players told £10,000 win was 'computer glitch'

Almost 2,000 players were left furious after they believed they had won up to £10,000 each from a prize pot of £1.6million.

Some bingo players believed their lives had been changed on Monday night after scooping what they thought were legitimate prizes.

But when they attempted to withdraw their winnings, they were told by Gala Bingo that the prizes were in fact glitches and they would not be able to cash the winnings.

The glitch in the bingo company's system resulted in the prize pot increasing to £1.6million when it should have only reached a maximum of £150.

As a result 1,188 players were left disappointed and out of pocket.
