Can you imagine what changes to your life a £100,000 bingo win could do? Well after winning just that amount, Ursula Nevin, blew the lot on gambling in just a few months and then ended up getting arrested for looting designer gear. At the age of just 19 years old, Ursula, WAS one of the luckiest and wealthiest teenagers around having scooped £100,000. Her mother told how she had blown all the cash in a few months while playing slots machines. Lucille Blakeley said: "She is a very, very, very bad gambler. "The whole 100 grand went back on gambling in the bingo hall. She spent it on £2 slot machines with £100 jackpots. When she went back to the bingo hall we thought she was back playing bingo — we didn't know she was on the machines. "Five games would cost a tenner. She was there from 5pm until 11pm so imagine how much money went into the machine and how quickly. "She gambled the lot in three or four months. They loved her in there for putting money in the machines. They thought she was great." Ursula who is now 24 years old and a mum of two was in bed when riots broke out in Manchester a few weeks back. Her flatmate, Gemma Corbett, had returned from the riots having looted £625 worth of goods and Ursula picked out a pair of designer Vans shorts for herself. After raiding the house, Police arrested and charged both girls a few hours later. Nevin was jailed for 5 months, which was later reduced to 75 hours unpaid work and Corbett was given 18 months for burglary.
