Woman's Bingo Winnings Check Bounces
Inkster's Misty Laturnus Wins $26K At Bingo

WESTLAND, Mich. -- A metro Detroit woman won a Bingo game in Westland but the winnings check she was given bounced.
Misty Laturnus, of Inkster, is a mother of three boys with another one on the way.
She said she was playing at the Ford Wayne Civic League on July 11 when she won.
"I was waiting for B6 for like seven numbers and it came," Laturnus said. "I jumped up, fell down and hit my head."
She was given a check for $26,449, and said she knew right away what she was going to do with the money.
"Pay off some bills and put a down payment down on a house was the main goal," Laturnus said.
Laturnus said she went Sunday and opened up a new account with a bank to deposit the money.

"The next business day it was returned as uncollectable," Laturnus said. "The bank said they didn't have sufficient funds in their account to clear the check."
The president of the Bingo club said he became aware of the problem Wednesday morning and immediately called the bank to sort the problem out.
The president said he had funds transferred to Laturnus' account.
Late Wednesday evening Laturnus said she did see a pending transaction to her account for the amount she was owed, but would have to wait until Thursday to see if it cleared.
