Gamesville Chobbi of Youngsville, N.C., won $1,008 playing Three-Eyed Bingo on August 14, 2008, and took a few minutes out of her schedule to talk with us about her win.

What did her win cost her husband? And what kind of game would she like to see on Gamesville next? Read on...

Gamesville: What was it like when you realized you won?
Chobbi: It took me a few minutes to realize what had happened! I joined the game late; in fact the game was close to ending so I was frantically playing catch up. When I realized that I had all the cards covered, I was in shock because it all happened so fast.

Were any friends or family there to share the moment with you?
My husband was in the other room waiting on dinner. Needless to say, dinner was burnt. The other people in the Gamesville room were so supportive and friendly. What a nice group of people; I hope they all are fortunate enough to win too!

What will you spend your winnings on?
The winnings came at a great time. We've had some unexpected expenses so having the extra money will come in handy.

What do you do for a living?
I work for a program that helps uninsured people get diagnostic and specialty care. I love, love, love my job! I cannot think of one negative thing about it.

If you were an animal in the wild, what would you be?
That's a hard question; I've never really thought about it. Maybe a goose because they can fly and they mate for life.

What is your most treasured possession and why?
My wedding ring given to me 34 years ago. I am so blessed to have found the love of a lifetime (corny but true)!

What does your member name mean?
Chobbi is a combination of my husband's first name and mine.

What kind of game or service would you like Gamesville to make next?
I would love to see a Vegas style slot machine with bonus rounds, such as Milk Money or Nut House.

Thanks, Chobbi--and congratulations again on your win!

Actor Julius J. Carry, III--best known around GV HQ as the Shogun of Harlem, Sho'nuff, in the classic 1980's kung-fu comedy flick The Last Dragon--passed away August 19. He was 56.

Here, Mr. Carry gets to chew the scenery as the over-the-top villain Sno'nuff (a performance we still reference 20+ years later): 

"Who da mastah?"

"Sho'nuff!"

Rest in peace, Mr. Carry.

More signs that you're addicted to bingo:

• You hear the Bingo Zone theme music during important moments in your life. (Land that raise you've been looking for? "DAH DAH DAH DAH DAH...")
• Game Intermissions fill you with panic - When will the Bingo Zone be back?!
• You changed your name so that your initials are "DBB."

As far as we know, no actual babies were harmed in the production of this cake. And you really can't argue there is true artistry in the final product. But cakes are made to be eaten. And this cake looks like a newborn baby. Maybe I'm just a picky eater, but I don't think I could stomach eating a slice of bambino...

This week's Best Pet is Truce. The proud owner: Gamesviller Luckyplate of Spartanburg, SC.

Distinguishing Personality Traits

Luckyplate says: "My new puppy, Truce, is a lab-retriever mix who came to live with us when he was 8 weeks old. Now five months old, Truce lays at my feet a lot, especially while I'm playing on Gamesville. He surprised me one day by perking up his ears after each game of Three-Eyed Bingo when the "whoooh-whoooh-whoooh" sound comes on. He then howled like crazy and sounded just like the game. It is the funniest, cutest, and loudest thing!"

You know you're addicted to bingo when...

• You realize you spend more time talking to Dickie Bingo than your own family members.
• You decide to name your dog "Bingo" ... and your newborn baby.
• There are only 5 letters in your alphabet.
• When people ask where you're from, you name your favorite Bingo Zone room, rather than your real-life home town.

Some people predicted that 08/08/08 would be the luckiest day of the year. Not true! At least, not true for two lucky Gamesvillers...

Yesterday (08/14/08), Chobbi of Youngsville, N.C. won $1,008 playing Three-Eyed Bingo, and spookis069 of Centreville, Mich., won $2,498 playing Magic 21! Hmmm ... two eights in the date ... an eight in each of the respective prize values ... eight letters in "Michigan" ... that's a lot of eights. Weird.

Useless Fact!
