More than 1,000 Gala Bingo players were left with shattered dreams and empty pockets after the prizes they thought they had won were the result of an online glitch.
The players believed they had nabbed up to £10,000 each from a prize pot of £1.6million on the popular online gambling site.
But when they attempted to withdraw their winnings, they were told by the company that they would not be able to cash the money.
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.
