Louisa Brock won £100,000 at bingo and plans to use the money to search for her sister, whom she last saw 55 years ago. "She will be around 58 years old and I think she may be living in the Aberdeenshire area”, Mrs. Brock said.

The 60-year-old retired barmaid explained that she grew up in children’s homes and foster care and has not seen her sister since she was adopted. Mrs. Brock has already found two of her sisters and is desperate to trace Helen.

"When I last saw her, I had just started school and Helen was not even old enough to go. It would be lovely to meet her again”, Mrs. Brock explained. She expects that the money she won at the local Gala Club will make the search easier.

Mrs. Brock has four children and nine grandchildren and last Thursday won The National Bingo Games jackpot of £100,000, the regional prize of £1,073 and £20 from the club.
