LUCKY shopper Michael Cook has become the latest winner of a prize draw in Middlesbrough town centre.

Mr Cook, of Grange Road, Middlesbrough, was in the Cleveland Shopping Centre when BBC Radio Cleveland presenter Stewart McFarlane announced over a loudspeaker that he was the winner of a free competition. He was the first to be chosen from more than 2,300 entries to the competition aimed at promoting the centre's new reward card. The scheme entitles shoppers who spend more than £10 to enter a monthly prize draw to win a first prize of £250.

Centre manager David Ward said: "While the majority of prizes are going to Middlesbrough people, other beneficiaries come from outside the area. It can only be good news for Middlesbrough as a desirable shopping destination."
