Who would have thought it? An oral agreement between 3 sisters was deemed binding by a judge in Chester.
As many of you bingo regulars out there will know, it’s not unusual to make friendly agreements to share winnings should one of your party get lucky. But when one of the Sexton sisters decided she wanted to keep all the winnings for herself, things got ugly.
The BBC report that the big win came at the Buckingham Bingo Palace in Hunts Cross, Liverpool, in June 2007. The judge ruled that the winnings should be split equally as agreed before the balls were read.
With many players now opting to play in an online bingo game, how long will it be before sharing of winnings agreements become obsolete? Have you ever shared a big win with a friend? How about online bingo?
