Retro Gamesville branded bingo card

While moving around some boxes here at GV HQ when the team rediscovered this gem from Gamesville past, our giant retro bingo card! The card stands about eight feet tall and has now taken its rightful place back in Chris Cummings' office. Check out more from GV HQ at our newly redesigned Gamesville Facebook Page.

Gamesviller 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...

What will you spend your winnings on?
Bills and lots of them. I also love to spoil the grandkids when I can, so maybe something special for them.

What do you do for a living?
I work part-time as a driver transporting patients to the doctor. I enjoy helping others.

If you were an animal in the wild, what would you be?
I would be a eagle so I could sit high on top of a mountain and enjoy the view.

What do you treasure most in the world?
My family, they mean everything to me.

What does your Gamesville member name mean?
If you have ever eaten Louisianan food then you must try the hot sauce, it's the best.

Anything else you'd like to add?
I have only been a member since last year and enjoy the games, they are so addicting! Thanks Gamesville for making this a fun and friendly place to play and win!! Good luck all and keep smiling! Winning does happen!

Thanks, Lahotsauce - and congratulations again on your win!

Sarah Horton's The Price Is Right embroidery

Sarah 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.

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."

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."

A car we spotted covered in toys.

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?
