Winner Interview: Princessmisty

Topic: Members

Last month lucky Gamesviller Princessmisty of Calumet, MI, hit the jackpot playing CatchUp CoverAll and took home $488!

How will she spend her winnings? Find out below...

Gamesville: Congratulations! What was it like when you realized you won?
I couldn't believe it. I had missed a couple of numbers during the game, when I finally entered them in and caught up it was a BINGO! My boyfriend called me just as I was hitting the Bingo button.

What will you spend your winnings on?
I'm going to Las Vegas in a couple of weeks, so hopefully my check will come before I leave! I'm sure it will be used to see a show or some other form of entertainment while on my trip.

What do you do for a living?
I'm a waitress and have been for a long time. I love meeting new people and my sharing knowledge of the area I live in. I really enjoy talking to people and hearing of where they are from. At times it can be a lot of hard work.

If you were an animal in the wild, what would you be?
Never really thought about it before, maybe a bird.  I think it would give you a different "view" of the world.

What is your most treasured possession and why?
A ring that was given to me by my mother.  She had it for a long time and then she passed it to me.

What does your Gamesville member name mean?
My dog's name is Misty. She is spoiled rotten and when she is in a mood I call her my "Princess Misty".

What game would you like to see Gamesville make next?
I love bingo, but would love to see another card game.

Thanks, Princessmisty - and have fun in Vegas!

Moustachioed horse evades barbers

Topic: Weird Wire™
Weird, but true! A real, live horse has grown a curly golden moustache--and it refuses to let ANYONE shave it off!

"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."

Read more about this curious creature...

Winner Interview: 1subee

Topic: Members

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...

Gamesville: Congratulations! What was it like when you realized you won?
I was actually playing Magic 21 when another player said congratulations to me on my win. It was two hours into my birthday so I was very excited to get an early birthday present!

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!
