A WOMAN received an early birthday present after entering a competition.
Jean Smith, of Sherburn Village, Durham, entered a prize draw in The Northern Echo to win a millennium diamond pendant from jeweller Goldsmiths at the Prince Bishops Shopping Centre, Durham City.
She was delighted when she received a phone call just before her birthday saying that she had won.
She said: "I don't enter a lot of competitions, but this was one that caught my eye."
Ms Smith was presented with her prize by Jason Hope, Goldsmiths' manager, and Peter Bennion, manager of the shopping centre
