While landing a full house and the jackpot on the 90 ball bingo game is pretty lucky for a first time player, it was the speed of Daryl's win that left the players gasping in amazement. His 15 number full house came in just 23 calls - possibly the faster ever 90 ball bingo game, with the odds of this happening a staggering 93 billion to one. William Hill Bingo's spokeswoman Jennie Prest said: "None of our staff or customers with vast bingo playing experience have ever seen a game unfold as quickly as this one. We believe it is a record and are exploring the possibility of getting in the Guinness Book of World Records. We can't find examples of a quicker 90 ball game, but are interested in hearing from anyone who knows more - at those odds, it must be very rare." Commenting on his win, Darryl said: "I guessed it was just beginners luck when I won and the money is smashing to have for the New Year but I was totally gobsmacked when William Hill told me how extraordinary the game was and the odds of that happening. I might get my name in the record books." The odds of getting house (15 numbers) in 23 calls in a 90 ball bingo game are: 93,400,706,414-1. To help visualise the chance of this, William Hill have come up with some other 93 billion to one shots:
