Repaying dmp

Hi, looking for some advice..... I’ve been paying off debts through a dmp for nearly 2 years and have another 2 years 5 months to go. I went out with my sister for her birthday to play bingo ( money I literally took out of my copper jar) and won some money. Enough to pay off the dmp. I just don’t know how they would look at it. Repaying debts by gambling? It was a one off as since i started with the dmp I haven’t been for a night out / out for dinner etc preferring to put the money for “socialising “ towards becoming debt free instead. Would it be better to tell them I got the money from a relative or just be completely honest? I’m so excited about being debt free but do stress a lot about these things. Any advice would be welcomed...

Do you have to tell them where it's come from? If they're getting the money back it shouldn't matter.

That’s just I don’t know if they’ll ask or want proof etc first and Deffinatly the last time I’m going to get in a mess enough to need a dmp

You don't have to tell them where it came from at all, just pay it off.
