A BIG congratulations are in order to Nanascandles51 of Branson, MO, who struck it rich TODAY and took home $802 in CatchUp CoverAll! And that's not all, because when Nanascandles51 hit the jackpot, four players with the same Lucky Ball choice each won $25 cash! Congratulations to all four of our Lucky Ball winners:

 

The legend of Sasquatch (the Native American term for Bigfoot) has existed for centuries. This elusive creature has been spotted throughout the Pacific Northwest as well as other parts of the world including China and Nepal. Now for the Bigfoot collector and cryptozoologist in all of us there is something totally unique to carry the legend along with you, the Sasqwatch! These solid, wilderness-tested, water resistant watches have been almost twenty years in the creation. Makes us wonder if it'll take another twenty to come out with the Abominable Snowman edition. Get your very own Sasqwatch today!

This week's Best Pet comes to us from Gamesviller Angelgaldonna of Parksville, BC. Meet her cuddly companion, Zeus!

Distinguishing Personality Traits

Angelgaldonna says, "Zeus was given to us by my husband's son two years ago and fit in very well. Zeus is pure white with one blue eye and one green eye. He is so lovable--he will literally hug me with both paws around my neck when I pick him up as well as rub our faces together and do a couple 'head-butts'.  He spends most days in the back yard hiding in a bushy area just watching the birds. His fur is the thickest I have ever seen on a cat; I've have to brush & comb him at least twice a week. He's sort of like a polar bear!"

Introducing the enhanced GV Rewards badges!

We've been teasing you all with several, special surprises later on this summer and today the first of them has finally arrived. Without further ado we're happy to announce the new, enhanced GV Rewards badges!

The same great style you've come to love, enhanced with expanded, original Gamesville artwork featuring the smaller sized badges each making a cameo in a scene with our good friend Poke the Penguin.

The new badges are available on your GV profile under the "badges" tab. Once there you can select which badge you'd like to display on your profile and in-game by selecting "See My Badges". Collect more GV Rewards to uncover new badges to display and show off to friends. Each badge can also be downloaded in "Full Size" to be used as a desktop wallpaper for your PC!

We hope you enjoy this enhancement to the GV Rewards badges! Please let us know your thoughts about the new and improved badges here in the comments section.

Last week we told you about Auzzi44's BIG win were she took home a whopping $898 playing CatchUp CoverAll.

What was her moment of victory like? How is she going to spend her GV jackpot winnings? Find out below...

Gamesville: Congratulations! What was it like when you realized you won?
I got so excited I almost forgot to hit the 'bingo' button! I was so shocked that the bingo caller Dickie called the two numbers I needed right in a row (B13 and then N44 right after). I talked to the people in the room for a little while, they were congratulating me but it was late here so I couldn't scream or anything like that. Believe me I sure wanted to.

What will you spend your winnings on?
Nothing special for myself, I did tell my daughter I'll spend some of my winnings so that she can become a gold member. My grandson (Cody) and granddaughter (Nickole) want a few things, and then school is coming soon. I'm sure the rest will go into the bank for a rainy day.

What do you do for a living?
I deliver mail. I like talking to the people and absolutely love my job! Now only if the weather would always be cooperative that would make my life a little easier.

If you were stranded on a desert island who or what would you bring with you?
Easy -- fishing gear, coffee and cigarettes.

What do you treasure most in life, and why?
My family, they are the only thing you can rely on these days.

What does your Gamesville member name mean?
My member name is my last dog's name.

Thanks, Auzzi44 - and congratulations again on your win!

This week's Best Pet comes to us from Gamesviller Nannydue of Elk City, OK. Meet her dozing doggie, Bo Dan Dee!

Distinguishing Personality Traits

Nannydue says, "Here is Bo Dan Dee, aka BoBo, doing what he does best... taking life easy. Bo is a 9-year-old Boston Terrier my daughter gave me for Christmas when he was just 6-weeks-old. Bo loves to swim in his little swimming pool and will not sleep without his blankie. Every night we have to 'love the BoBo' before bedtime. He hops up in the recliner to be petted and loved on and all I need to do is say, 'let's love the BoBo!' "

Your Respond From Mr Ahmed;

Hello Dear,
 
Thank you for your mail and wilingness to cooperate with us. I have informed my contact and intimated him of your desire to work with him but the problem is that my client has a substantial amounts in cash to invest in a viable project. If you are capable and willing to travel for a meeting , please let me know so I can inform my client. The money will be transferred directly to you when if the terms are met. If you have a good business plan please lets work on it as my client is very eager to get things off the ground and rolling.
 
Sincerely,
 
Ahmed

Hello Ahmed,

Thanks for the letter. I will confess your correspondence puzzles me as we have no record of previously contacting you regarding a business opportunity. But while we're on the subject, how much money are we talking here? As I'm sure you've seen before in our Spam Bag feature we've received a number of interesting opportunities from fine folks just like yourself. We'd sure love to hear what you're offering so we can spread the wealth in all our free game shows. Hope we can get off the ground and rolling soon!

Best,

Last month Gamesviller Usafwxwife of Plant City, FL, won $156 (a DOUBLE JACKPOT because she is a GV Gold Member) in Quick-Draw Poker.

Who did she share her moment of victory with? What is the meaning behind her GV username? Find out below...

Gamesville: Congratulations! What was it like when you realized you won?
When the winner's prompt first popped up on the screen I thought the game or my computer had malfunctioned. It took several seconds for me to focus on the word 'Congratulations!' I was able to share my win with my husband via webcam (who's stationed in Iraq) and a friend in the game room!

What will you spend your winnings on?
I don’t know yet, maybe a new pair of shoes! I’m sure I can find room in my closet for another pair!

What do you do for a living?
I am very fortunate to have a husband that earns enough so that I don’t have to work outside the home. I attend college courses full-time and take care of our dogs.

If you were stranded on a desert island who or what would you bring with you?
My husband, a collection of books by author Dean Koontz, and a huge bottle of suntan lotion.

What do you treasure most in life, and why?
My husband, for showing me how to receive and give unconditional love, and all the memories of my Mom for teaching me that no matter how bad things get in life, you have to keep your sense of humor and just laugh!

What does your Gamesville member name mean?
USAFWXWIFE – United States Air Force Weather Wife. My husband was active duty when I made the account and he’s a meteorologist. Simple enough.

Thanks, Usafwxwife - and congratulations again on your win!
