ANDOVER grandmother Marian Thorne won £202,060 playing bingo at the Gala Club in Salisbury.
Now the 58-year-old will be able to realise her dream of visiting Canada and the Rocky Mountains.
Marian won the National Bingo Game prize of £200,000 on Sunday evening as well as the regional prize of £2,000 and the club prize of £60, having completed a full house in 44 numbers.
Marian and her husband, Harry, aged 57, are both in the retail trade and might retire early as a result of the win.
They have two sons and a daughter - who will all be given some of the prize money - and three grandchildren.
"It still hasn't sunk in yet," she added. "I didn't ever think it would happen to me. There was an amazing reaction in the club when they announced it."
