Friday the 13th means anything but bad luck for an Alpine, California, woman who
won $80,000 at a bingo game at Viejas Casino. In fact, it continues her streak
of good luck with the number 13!
Carleen Maloney of Alpine was playing the 50-cent morning matinee Bonanza bingo
game at Viejas Casino this morning when she called "Bingo!" and claimed the
$80,743.10 jackpot. Viejas Bingo staff and other guests shared in the excitement
as Carleen explained that 13 is her lucky number - she was married on the 13th
and a son was born on the 13th.
Viejas Bingo guests have been on a roll in the past month, with recent winners
taking home a number of sizeable jackpots, including Bingo guest Diane Detro who
won $26,000 on the 52 Blackout Wheel Spin and Eleanor H. who won $10,294.96 on
the Vip'm jackpot during a Matinee session.
