What was her moment of victory like? What are her favorite Gamesville games? Find out below...

What will you spend your winnings on?
First thing on the shopping list is a new computer so I can play more Gamesville games. I'm using my daughter's old laptop at the moment.

What do you do for a living?
I stay home and look after my daughter's three dogs while she works. Love to do it because I love dogs and the free time also lets me play more games during the day.

My favorite songs are: Mandy by Westlife, Nobodys Child by The Alexander Brothers' and I Will Survive by Tina Turner. Three great songs by great artists.

What do you treasure most in the world?
My family, friends and pets.

What does your Gamesville member name mean?
Scottie because I come from Scotland and dog because I love all dogs.

What game would you like to see Gamesville make next?
Not sure, I'm just happiest playing Magic 21 or Hot Streak Solitaire. That is where all my online friends spend their time.

Thanks, Scottiedog_10 - and congratulations again on your win!

Distinguishing Personality Traits

Crickettot says, "This little character is Cricket, our yorkie who basically runs my life. Cricket loves to have her picture taken and you always have to tell her she is beautiful! I have to cook her three meals a day and she never eats dog food--she clearly doesn't know she's a dog! When company comes over Cricket immediately assumes they are there to play with her. I love her to death, but she is very spoiled and I don't know how that happened! Sometimes I think it was easier raising my six kids."
