Joan Jackson, Wales University Hospitals senior nurse won the jackpot

Gambling is as much about luck as it is about skill. A nurse in Wales has struck the big bingo jackpot. The lucky woman has won the £100,000 of jackpot amount in August 2007.

Joan Jackson is a senior nurse working at the University Hospital of Wales (Cardiff). She happened to arrange a nurses' party and night out to bid goodbye to a fellow colleague who was leaving the job to have a baby. Joan Jackson's choice of celebration venue was a Club on an industrial estate off Western Avenue in Cardiff.

Incidentally, she regularly goes there to try her luck at bingo, and visits the gambling club with her daughter. And what a perfect choice it has turned to be for her.

On that memorable evening, Joan Jackson grabbed the National Bingo Game prize booty of almost £100,000 as well as the house prize worth £150 after she completed a full house in exactly 41 numbers. It turned to be the lowest call in any of the nearly 500 clubs nationwide.

The ecstatic nurse remarked, "When I actually realised that I had won, I struggled to keep my emotions under check and to stay calm or else I would have a heart attack." All her nursing skills thankfully came to her help at that joyous moment as she indeed kept her nerves first to win the jackpot and then to keep her composure.

The winner managed to stay collected and calm. In fact, that's they key to gambling and gaming. Do not loose your composure while indulging in offline or online casino gambling, whether you are losing or winning. Apart from doing some basic preparation, learn to do simple things right, and you would be successful. Try to understand and grasp the know-how, including the rules and strategy, which are vital to become successful in casino games.

The luck nurse, Joan Jackson, who stuck to her basics, has some plans lined up. She is planning to first treat her children and then do up her house.
