Useless Fact!

Ahheck's hometown of Deerfield Beach, FL, recently was home to a strange and odd occurrence where two South Florida banks are now recovering from damages after two cars crashed into them within minutes of each other. Authorities say the first crashed happened around 1:20 p.m. at a Washington Mutual in Deerfield Beach. The Broward Sheriff's Office says an elderly woman accidentally hit the gas, ran over a curb and hit the bank's facade. About 20 minutes later, another elderly woman in Deerfield Beach lost control of her car and drove into a Wachovia. Read the full story at WWSB ABC 7 Florida.

Congrats again to Ahheck--looking forward to seeing all of you in game!

As any Gamesviller who has been lucky enough to experience it can attest to, the thrill of a jackpot win in one of their favorite online game shows is a rare and exhilarating feeling. So you can imagine one lucky Gamesviller's reaction when she stuck gold not once, but TWICE this weekend at Gamesville! A BIG congratulations to Barb_55, a longtime Lycos member from Poughkeepsie, NY (and recent convert to Gamesville) who hit jackpots in two of her favorite game shows. The first strike in her big weekend run came on Friday evening when she scored $190 in fast cash playing Quick-Draw Poker (a DOUBLE jackpot just for being a GV Gold member). Then she decided to play on and press her luck, winning a whopping $882 the next day in CatchUp CoverAll.

And Barb_55 wasn't the only Gamesviller to take home prizes this weekend, as over 60 Gamesvillers took home cash in the Bingo Zone, not to mention our daily $25 Target gift card, weekly $100 GV Sweepstakes and our HP netbook winning monthly sweepstakes prize winners. Congrats to Barb_55 and all our lucky Gamesville winners from this past weekend!

Last week we put out a call for submissions to our Gamesville Halloween Fan Photo Costume Contest and asked all you Gamesvillers to show us your freaky side by adding your costumed photos to the Gamesville Facebook fan page. Well the ballots are in and the votes have been counted, time to find out who will be taking home the coveted title as Gamesville's best dressed for this Halloween...

It was a tough decision ... mostly because one costume scared us out of our skins. But, in the end, it was that member's thirst for blood that put her over the top. Congrats to Gamesviller DynamicAngel73 who provided her creepy photo and is now taking home a copy of season one of NBC's Heroes on DVD and a cool 10,000 GV Rewards!

And of course who couldn't forget about our other winners! In second place we had Gamesviller Kimmycub who looked dazzling as a flapper posing here with her hubby. And in third place was the stunning Egenett84 in her awesome Carmen Sandiego costume. These winners won't be going home empty handed, as each will receive 5,000 GV Rewards for their creative efforts! Thanks to all our members for their terrific submissions!

PS - If you're not yet a fan of the Gamesville Facebook page what are you waiting for? Head to Facebook.com and add yourself the to page for updates and fun by your friends at Gamesville!

What was her moment of victory like? How did she come up with her curious GV member name? Find out below...

What will you spend your winnings on?
The money will help with some Christmas shopping, since I am on Social Security and my daughter is unemployed at the moment with a three-year-old to support.

What three songs could you listen to for the rest of your life?
Three songs I would listen to for the rest of my life would be:

• Mercy Me - Imagine
• Brook Benton - Rainy Night in Georgia
• Cher - Believe

What do you treasure most in the world?
The things I treasure most are my granddaughter and my pets, they truly mean the world to me.

What does your Gamesville member name mean?
My daughter's nickname is Squeak because she is so little.  Her friend, who is also tiny, was nicknamed Pip. So we have a Pip and a Squeak. Soon after everyone started calling me MamaSqueak, my granddaughter is BabySqueak and my mother, who is 86, is called GrannySqueak.

What game would you like to see the Gamesville team create next?
I love Gamesville. I have been playing here since 1996 when you first opened and have met many wonderful people through chat! I don't know that if I would change anything about Gamesville and I think the variety of games is great.

Thanks, Mamasqueak0 - and congratulations again on your BIG win!
