Cashcade is the company that owns popular online bingo site, Foxy Bingo and they have just paid out a much larger prize then they thought they were going to. The prize they paid was £50,000 but it should have been much lower. They paid out the money after a technical issue with of their online bingo games in play showed that the prize was £50,000 when the prize was really only £500.

Problems of this sort are very rare but it happened at Foxy Bingo on last Monday night. The problem was that a game that was designed to run as a £500 coverall jackpot bingo game was put in as a guaranteed £50,000 bingo game. When the game was played it showed that it had a £50,000 guaranteed jackpot and everyone that participated in the game all saw it.

So in the end Cashcade paid up even though the game was advertised as being a £500 coverall jackpot game and the lucky player that got a really large payday was "Tracey1801" after she called house on the game that was in play within 60 numbers. Since this game was supposed to have a much smaller prize she only had to pay £1 for her bingo ticket that ended up winning her £50,000.
