"Alfie, a 10-year-old Shire-cross, is said to flee if he thinks he is in danger of getting even a trim.

The horse also refuses to let staff at the stables in Bitton, Gloucestershire, into his stall there for fear that they will remove his whiskers."

Last month lucky Gamesviller 1subee of Pompano Beach, FL, took home a cool $1,000 in one of our GV Rewards sweepstakes.

What will she spend her BIG winnings on? Find out below...

What will you spend your winnings on?
I know this is going to sound boring, but most of my wins will probably go to bills. Also need a new radio for my car so I will buy that for myself too.

What do you do for a living?
I work in the legal field. Although the scheduling can be quite difficult it's actually quite exciting. I never know what to expect and every day is different.

If you were an animal in the wild, what would you be?
I would like to be a tiger. They are beautiful animals.

What is your most treasured possession and why?
A coin that my grandfather gave me one month before he passed away; it is very dear to me.

What does your Gamesville member name mean?
My member name is a reflection of part of my name.

What game would you like to see Gamesville make next?
I'd like to see more advanced chat options (i.e. more smileys, etc.)

Thanks, 1subee - and congratulations again on your win!

Congratulations to our lucky Gamesviller Mitchelleontario of Azilda, Ontario, who hit a BIG jackpot while playing Three-Eyed Bingo on Saturday and took home $2,463 in cold hard cash!

And that's not all! Because congratulations are in order to FIVE other Gamesvillers who all took home cash this weekend! Gamesviller Brandibye from all the way up in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, hit the jackpot on Friday while playing CatchUp CoverAll and took home $468! And when Brandibye hit it big, four more lucky players--with the same Lucky Ball as Brandibye--also won cash prizes! Congrats to Vidiot411, Nanette575, Bugsinthehouse, and Manjames2 on their Lucky Balls!

Has bingo turned to the Dark Side? When Darth Bingo is at the Big Wheel who knows what number he'll use the force to stop at. One thing is for sure, this photo already has us at GV HQ envisioning James Earl Jones calling out bingo numbers with great style. (No offense, Dickie!)

Distinguishing Personality Traits

Stephney1 says, "I have had these two geese for a year now. In this photo Spazman is standing on my back, while Shygirl is trying to talk to me. Whenever I come home and yell "Mom!" they immediately squawk back. They don't like any of the other animals coming in or near their pen. When I let them out to run the yard and swim in the pool, they act like they own the place! I chase them down telling them I'm gonna get their butts, and they run for their pen."
