More than 1,000 players will be crossing both their numbers and their fingers at a Lakeside bingo club on Sunday - they are playing for a £1million jackpot.
Gala Bingo Lakeside is one of just ten clubs nationwide to be taking part in the prestigious Ultimate Finale.
Players will be bussed in to compete against rivals from clubs in Basildon and Pitsea.
General manager at Gala Bingo Lakeside, Ian Matthews, said: "This is a wonderful opportunity for Lakeside. We look forward to extending our hospitality to over 1,000 people travelling from across the region."
