A woman who won over £100,000 in a bingo jackpot does not have to share the money with her friends, the court of appeal has ruled. Tania Burnett won £101,211 at the Gala Bingo club in Plymouth and it was alleged that she had agreed to share any winnings over £10 with her two former friends. However, the judge ruled that a "casual conversation" between the women that had happened a week earlier could not be considered to be a legally binding agreement. Apparently Ms Burnett has now told her former friends to "Get Stuffed!".

It is a shame that the taxpayers couldn't do the same, as the two friends, Stacey Wilson and Abigail Stacey, received tens of thousands of pounds of legal aid to fund their claim



From DS Website:

"How come Jay has reneged on giving his 15k to Tom, Louise or Aaron? The story specifically mentions him having won 15k, so it is pretty clear he has no intention of sharing his money with anyone else.

What I suspect happened is Alex and Jay reneged on sharing their money, at which point Aaron decided WTF.

Please let me know when Jay shares 15k of his money and Alex 30k of her money."

Not forgetting that Louise has swanned off with £3,500
