This weekend we had not one, but TWO big game show jackpot hits. And to celebrate we've got SIX Gamesvillers to congratulate!
First off, a big congratulations are in order to Addamandre of Whitby, Canada, who won a whopping $3,003 in Three-Eyed Bingo on Sunday. What a win!
Secondly, congratulations to our FIVE winners in CatchUp CoverAll, all of whom struck it rich thanks to Mkmidae of Kingman, AZ, who hit the jackpot on Saturday and won $495. Celebrating alongside Mkmidae are our four Lucky Ball winners, who each selected the same Lucky Ball as our big winner and instantly took home $25 in cold hard cash! Congratulations to all our Lucky Ball winners:
And to: Irene72031_2 & Babysara3, our other Lucky Ball winners who seem to be a bit camera shy at this time.
Congratulations everyone!

HI!
I love playing on gamesville but would like to see more happy chatting environment in the bingo zone.
I have a suggestion –
For the Bingo Zone Game – Add a New feature – For each game you play you get 1 entry into the daily prize (It could be anything you decide).
I think if you added any little extra contest to the game it would stop all the negative chat about not winning the prize. It seems the complaining is a contagious thing.. I am guilty of doing it myself L

Dear blueiiiiiii -
Thanks for your comments and your ideas. The topic you're raising is definitely one to which we are sensitive because we want the Gamesville experience to be fun for everyone. But I'm not certain this particular solution would help as much as it might seem. Here is why.
In any game show, sweepstakes, contest or competition, many people play and only a few people actually win. We're lucky at Gamesville–since we have games running around the clock, and have great sponsors, we can afford to give away more money to more people than virtually any other games site on the Internet. That's a tremendous thing! But even we don't have an unlimited prize budget.
Every week, hundreds of people win free cash in the Bingo Zone. But many thousands of people actually play Bingo Zone. If we instituted an additional prize–even a daily prize–in the Bingo Zone, it would make 30 or 31 more people happy each month–but would it make thousands of Bingo Zone players happy? Probably not.
As much as I wish we could give away cash prizes to every single person who plays, we can't. Nobody has those kinds of unlimited funds. That said, we are working on more ways to give away even more prizes to even more people. (More on that soon!)
As far as negativity in the chat goes, my best advice is to ignore the negative people and focus on the positive. Find members who are upbeat and engage them in conversation. If someone's being negative, either block them or try changing the topic of conversation.
If you're feeling negative yourself, seek out one of your friends to try and boost your spirits–or simply take a break. Everyone needs to unplug from the computer every once in awhile, and refresh their minds and bodies. When you come back, we'll still be here. The games will still be running. And people, just like you, will be winning and losing and having a good time!
Sincerely,
Chris Cummings
Manager, Gamesville.com
