A KIND-HEARTED foster mother won £100,000 at bingo -- then promptly gave away two thirds of her winnings.
The Radcliffe woman, who declined to be named, scooped the top prize at the Buckingham Club in Walkden.
The 51-year-old winner was with her husband (52) at the time and friends from their golf club, with whom they regularly play bingo.
After winning the top prize, the woman, who has a 33-year-old son, decided to share her winnings with the two couples who had joined her on her night out.
She said: "£33,000 each, that's plenty for me. We are having a house built in Spain and this has come at just the right time to pay it off."
The lucky winner works with people with learning difficulties and she and her husband, who took early retirement from his job, also foster children.
In 30 years of playing bingo three times a week, this is the largest win for the keen golfer.
She said: "My previous biggest wins have been £1,000 on two occasions. My numbers came out so quickly, I just couldn't believe it!"
