A bored mother who was fed up with her partner constantly watching Euro 2012 on television has won £1.3million after playing online bingo to pass the time. Lisa Potter, 33, from Witney, Oxfordshire, placed a £5 bet to entertain herself when Terry Goodman refused to turn over the daily coverage of the football tournament.
