Topic: Members
Posted by ohryankelley at 5:45 PM ESTToday was a special day for the team at Gamesville! Last week Gil Ferri (Gamesville member FerriGil48) won $4,094 playing Magic 21. Gil lives only a few towns away from Gamesville HQ, so we fired up the Gamesville Prize Patrol and drove out to Andover, MA, to spread some holiday cheer.
Armed with a giant novelty check and some special treats (including a live check for $4,094), we knocked on Gil's door. He was very gracious, inviting us into his home and posing for some photos.
Gamesville: Gil, congratulations on the big win! What was it like when you realized you won?
What do you do for a living?
How will you spend your winnings? Anything else you'd like to add? Gil at his desk enjoying Magic 21 Happy Holidays to you, too, Gil -- and congratulations again on your win!

Topic: Best Pets
Posted by ohryankelley at 6:49 PM ESTThis week's Best Pet comes to us from Gamesviller Jerseytude of Mirror Lake, NH. Meet her Miniture Schnauzer Misty! Distinguishing Personality Traits Jerseytude says, "Misty is our black and silver Miniature Schnauzer. She is the definition of the word "cuddle-bug"--always wanting to be near Mommy and Daddy. Since Mommy works she has become Daddy's little girl. Misty lives in the country and was trained to come immediately when called. When you call her she quickly turns and hightails it for the back door, almost like you stuck her with a pin! She's also been trained never to jump on anyone, so she will stand in front of you on her hind legs with her front paws crossed waiting to be acknowledged. I can go on and on about her attributes, but hopefully you will see her adorableness in the picture." Want to share photos of your own favorite pet with the Gamesville community? Send photos to: members@gamesville.com In addition to your pet's picture, please be sure to include:
If we publish your pet as a "Best Pet," we'll give you 5,000 GV Rewards. Submit your pet today! Updated: Friday, 12 December 2008 2:52 PM EST Log in to Comment | Permalink Another CatchUp CoverAll winner!

Posted by ohryankelley at 5:39 PM ESTAnother BIG win in Magic 21! Congratulations to Gamesviller Ferrigil48 from Andover, MA who hit it big today while playing Magic 21 and scored over $4,000 in free cash (four thousand and ninety-four dollars US, to be precise). Useless Fact! For many years Andover was geographically one of the largest towns in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In 1854, a measure was passed to divide the town into two separate political units according to the existing church boundaries. The name Andover was assumed by the more populous and wealthy West and South parishes, while the name North Andover was given to the North Parish. Find out more about Andover, MA...
