Gemmy, who comes from South Carolina, had been playing on the Bingo Empire site when she landed the $10,357.64 (£5,290) prize, BingoWire reports.
She told the website: "I nearly passed out. That is a lot of money!"
It proved to be the perfect timing for her as well, as she was struggling to keep up with payments on her house, something she won't need to worry about for a while now.
She also told BingoWire that she would definitely be playing more at the online bingo site in the future, before giving some words of advice to her fellow online bingo players.
"Keep up the faith. It can and will happen when you least expect it. It can happen to anyone at any time no matter how many cards you are playing," she said.
