Jo Collins, who works as a driver at a Special Needs School in England, set a new world record when she won more than £162,000 playing bingo online. She had been playing Gala Bingo Online for only five days.

Jo, 52, is the mother of three children and she has ten grandchildren. She has been married for 35 years and is also a volunteer in the program Meals on Wheels. Jo plans to carry on with her driving job. She said she is going to use the money to pay off the mortgage and the car and to go on a trip to Australia to visit old friends.

She also declared: 'I was at my daughter Melanie's house when I realized I'd won a big prize. When I told my husband he thought I'd picked up £1,600. You should have heard him when I explained that I had won over £160,000!

The previous world record win was £130,000.
