Can you find TRUE LOVE at Bingo?
Maybe. But like the song says:
"Your Love gives me such a thrill,
but your Love won't pay my bills."
On the other hand the Super Lightning Jackpot WILL help pay your bills.
The Super Lightning Jackpot will take you shopping.
The Super Lightning Jackpot will take you to the movies.
Then maybe out for a nice dinner.
The Super Lightning Jackpot will pickup the tab and leave a big tip -- just to impress you.
It's not like love -- but it'll do. Yes indeed it will.

Weird Halloween Bingo 2011
Weird Halloween Bingo 2011 was a crazy success! We had more costumes, more prizes and more fun than ever. Thanks to everyone who came to party and play with the weird Bingo crew at St. Anastasia Bingo in Waukegan. We saw GhosterBuster girls, Pocahontas, Mini Mouse, Catwoman, a few really scary ghouls and a victim of overzealous "yardening."
The weekly Lightning game had people biting their fingers too. With $4500 on the line for the grand prize, we opened five more windows on the game board, only to find ...... no winners! Ouch! The jackpot rolled over and we'll try it again next week.
Instead of parading around the neighborhood ringing doorbells, we had Trick-or-Treat Door Prizes and the Parade of Costumes. Lucky winners drawn at random won goodie bags full of candy, coupons, gifts and spooky DVD movies. One unsuspecting winner got the DVD Justin Beiber Sings Holiday Classics! Don't watch alone in a dark room.
Prizes were awarded to Best Decorated Table. We had a three-way, a three-way tie in that category.
Cutest costume was Mini Mouse, Hottest was Catwoman, Pocahontas was voted most-likely to, and Tiny won for Most-Bingo-ish. Scariest costume went to Jill, and honorable mentions to our ghostbuster gals and to the Joker Packer Fan! VK won for Most-Inappropriate -- our GRAND PRIZE and most-competitive category.

why WeirdBingo.com?
Why WierdBingo? Well why not? If the shoe fits ..., right? Our weekly train wreck of fun deserves a name that's as catchy as Swine Flu and just as memorable. Easier to spell than "StAnastasiaBingo.com" and dead-on balls accurate (it's an industry term) when it comes to describing what it's like there on Wednesday nights, WeirdBingo.com just sticks in your head like gum on your shoe. What are you doing Wednesday night? Why sit home when you could sit here?
Coming Soon:
Look for WeirdBingoWear and official WeirdBingo Merchandise available soon -- just in time for Saint Cayetano Day.
I hate this game, but I can't stop lovin' it
Face it: Bingo is a rough and tumble sport, a take-no-prisoners form of social aggression that pits pal against pal. Daughters vs. their Mothers; Mothers vs. muthers -- it's you against the world. But you're not a wimp. You play.
You sit there looking cool, waiting for one number. Just one. You wait -- barely breathing. Then you're best buddy calls bingo -- and that's the last thing you remember!!
The Lure of WeirdBingo
Like a strange unseen force, WeirdBingo attracts people from all over -- including far-away and exotic Volo, Illinois. This trio found us online and thought YES I WILL GO TO BINGO. We salute their spirit of adventure. They survived the three-week journey and arrived hungry, a bit disoriented but ready to compete. And what you think -- they won! Way to go!
why do we do this?
Ahh the eternal question. Why, indeed. Is it for fame? For the thrills? Spills? Why have we've been runnning this Bingo game for 40 years now?
Providing a fun place for people to get together every week and have fun and win some cash is reason enough, you'd figure, right? Sure. We enjoy watching you have fun. We, of course, just love, Love, LOVE sharing lots of time with you. (We've told you this before.) The real reason we do this is the kids.
All the proceeds from St. Anastasia Bingo goes to St. Anastasia School. Providing fine catholic education for over 75 years, learn more St. Anastasia School at their website or by calling 847-623-8320.
A Lawyer, a Bride and a Pregnant Lady Walk into a Bingo Hall...
Ok it sounds like the set up for a bad joke, right? Well, it's actually true. Last week a Lawyer, a Bride and a Pregnant Lady walked into Weird Bingo at St. Anastasia. Brandie, Chrissy and Lauren are three friends at a crossroads. One is pregnant, one just graduated from law school and passed the bar, and the third is running off to Maui with her guyfriend to tie the knot. This called for something special to mark the occassion. Chrissy googled it and came up with Weird Bingo. The trio traveled an hour just to play. Was this the bonding experience they expected? Was it their rite of passage? Can they find now happiness at home, in the courts or in the sun, surf and sand? We may never know.
