Topic: Members
Posted by ohryankelley at 1:10 PM EDTGamesviller Lahotsauce of Lake Charles, LA, recently won $2,718 while playing Three-Eyed Bingo, and took a few minutes out of her schedule to talk with us about her big win. What was her moment of victory like? What will she be spending her big winnings on? Find out below... Gamesville: Congratulations! What was it like when you realized you won?It was so unbelievable! I thought for sure I had made a mistake. I was home alone and screaming 'BINGO! BINGO!' I had to get on the phone and call my hubby right away. Of course he thought I was playing a joke on him because he didn't believe I would ever win anything. What will you spend your winnings on? What do you do for a living? If you were an animal in the wild, what would you be? What do you treasure most in the world? What does your Gamesville member name mean? Anything else you'd like to add? Thanks, Lahotsauce - and congratulations again on your win!

Posted by ohryankelley at 10:43 AM ESTSarah Horton of TotallySevere sure does some amazing work. She recently created this embroidered piece of her favorite game show, The Price Is Right, for a gallery show in New York City. We at GV HQ all agree that her recreation of Drew's reaction is pretty spot on, but we'd all love to see her do a Plinko version. Check out the rest of her handcrafted and design work at TotallySevere.

Topic: Best Pets
Posted by ohryankelley at 2:49 PM ESTThis week's Best Pet comes to us from Gamesviller MsMithra of Moline, IL. Meet her pal Spot! Distinguishing Personality Traits MsMithra says, "Spot is our five-year-old mixed breed we received from my mother three years ago. When we first got him he was a overly hyper active puppy who would bark at gray fire hydrants, black purses, men, and his own reflection in the oven door. We knew we'd certainly have a handful. When we brought him home he chewed up all our belongings, knocked over everything with his non-stop wagging tail and 'marked his territory' all over the house. With two months of patience and training, he calmed down. My daughter was born a year and a half ago and he is very protective of her. Today, if one of us walks in the door, he jumps on us and barks to get us to sit on the sofa so he can lay in our laps for the rest of the day. He plays with my daughter and lays down with her for naps. He is the best dog we have ever had." Want to share photos of your own favorite pet with the Gamesville community?

Topic: Members
Posted by ohryankelley at 11:38 AM ESTCongratulations to Gamesviller Guymhayes of Splendora, TX, who hit the jackpot Sunday while playing Three-Eyed Bingo and took home $1,461 in cold hard cash! Useless Fact! Guymhayes' hometown of Splendora, TX, was originally known as Cox's Switch in the late 1800s. The town was named in honor of Charles Cox, who was instrumental in getting the Houston, East and West Texas Railway to extend a narrow-gauge railroad there. The name was changed to Splendora in 1896, when Cox asked the first postmaster, M. S. King, to rename the town. He chose Splendora because of the "Splendor of its floral environment." Fact courtesy of Texas State Historical Association. Find out more about Splendora, TX...

From the "What Were They Thinking!?" Department: A coworker spotted this "toy car" while out to lunch one day this week. Makes you wonder where the owner got all these fantastic toys and how much time did this take? And what will the repair bill look like if the driver ever peels these things off? See all three of the the full size images on the Gamesville Facebook Page...

Topic: Best Pets
Posted by ohryankelley at 9:59 AM ESTThis week's Best Pet comes to us all the way from Azores, Portugal. Meet Gamesviller Mlenjamessc's best friend Lipton! Distinguishing Personality Traits Mlenjamessc says, "This is my boy Lipton. He's a King Charles mix that looks like a fluffy little teddy bear when his fur is all grown out. He loves to play fetch, and LOVES the toy he's photographed with here. We got it at our local base exchange and it's the fifth or sixth one he's had in his short two years with us. He is quite cuddly and appreciates a good snuggle, but loves to run and play even more. We're stationed here in Portugal now, but last year he lived with us in Alaska. He sure loves having the great weather to run around in!" Want to share photos of your own favorite pet with the Gamesville community?
