Today was a special day for the team at Gamesville! Last week Gil Ferri (Gamesville member FerriGil48) won $4,094 playing Magic 21. Gil lives only a few towns away from Gamesville HQ, so we fired up the Gamesville Prize Patrol and drove out to Andover, MA, to spread some holiday cheer.

Armed with a giant novelty check and some special treats (including a live check for $4,094), we knocked on Gil's door. He was very gracious, inviting us into his home and posing for some photos.

Gamesville: Gil, congratulations on the big win! What was it like when you realized you won?
The win took some time to sink in because I was shocked! I've been playing at Gamesville for 8 years and have never won anything this big. I started gaming here when you offered slots that had smaller payouts; I won a couple of times, but nothing like this.
What do you do for a living?
I'm in road sales, so the games offer a nice break and help me stay sharp. I really enjoy the challenge.

How will you spend your winnings?
This has been a godsend! With the holidays coming up and currently being between jobs, this win has been fantastic–and it came out of nowhere! I'm planning on buying my fiance some Christmas presents and some presents for her birthday coming up.
Anything else you'd like to add?
Just thanks and have a wonderful holiday!
Happy Holidays to you, too, Gil — and congratulations again on your win!

WTG Gil.
I know you are happy to get a nice check right here at Christmas.
Magic 21 is fun to play and the games hee really do help time to pass.
I hope to win a nice check like that one day. When the pot gets big I think about what I would do if I won.
The computer is my luxery. I live on SS and money always comes in handy.
Good luck on your job and I hope you and your fiance have a very, merry Christmas.
