Some bingo players are so hooked on the game that they eat, sleep, and drink bingo. Well, Michelle M. of Dallas, Texas, tops them all, as she can't pry herself away from bingo even while she's on the toilet. Though some might say she'd be flushing away precious hours on her laptop, her affinity for bingo paid off this week as she won a $5,000 jackpot on Bingohall.com while engaged in a “different” type of downloading.

Not taking a break from her bingo game even to heed the call of nature, Michelle is lucky that her Internet connection didn't stall. When approached for a nugget of further information, Jon Daley, President of Bingohall.com, stated that the nature of the win was “a first for us” as the site has “huge winners every day, but none can say they ever won $5,000 on their toilet.” What a relief!
