A MOTHER-OF-TWO has won £5,000 playing bingo in a Darlington social club.

Carol Wilkinson, 51, had only played the game twice before when she won the prize at the Darlington East End Social Club.

Mrs Wilkinson, of Skeeby Road, who is a part-time cook, said she could not believe her luck.

She is planning to spend the money on a new bathroom suite.
