Congratulations to Catlover-lizard of Apex, North Carolina. Last Saturday, Apex’s finest won $816 playing CatchUp CoverAll!
Useless Fact
The name “Apex” was adopted because the community was the highest point on the Chatham Railroad between Richmond, Virginia and Jacksonville, Florida. Also, in July 2009, CNN/Money magazine ranked Apex 44th on its list of the nation’s top places to live. Read more about this great little town here!

Congratulations to Mysista1957 of Sacramento, CA, who won $3,333 last night playing Three-Eyed Bingo!
Useless Fact
We paid out two big jackpots this week to the proud city of Sacramento, CA, qualifying the “Untamed City” for a new GV record. But do you know which state actually has the most Three-Eyed Bingo winners?
In the last year, we’ve had 30 Three-Eyed Bingo winners. Four states had two lucky winners apiece: New York, Kentucky, Georgia, and Arizona. Texas had three big winners. But the #1 spot belongs to the ol’ sunshine state: Florida had SIX big winners in the last year, for a combined total winnings of $15,693.

Prizes just don’t stop around here!
Between the time I posted that article about about Zuookie’s big win and about 10 minutes ago, we had a winner in Super Chef (looking at you, jcbigbird)… three winners in Bingo Zone (congrats, Muffrus, Mary49mi, and Cohoward321)… and another CatchUp CoverAll winner!
Congrats are in order for Briannam25! This daughter of Orting, WA, is a Gold member, so her CoverAll prize automatically doubled from $230 to $460. Well done!
Useless Fact
Pacific chorus frogs from Orting, Washington, invaded Alaska last December, hitchhiking their way into the state on imported Christmas trees. Read more about their trials and tribulations at the Anchorage Daily News…

This weekend Gamesviller Zuookie of Lansing, MI, won $397 playing CatchUp CoverAll at Gamesville!
Normally, this is where we’d celebrate her hometown with a useless fact — and we’ll do that in a second — but I also wanted to give a shout-out to Crickettot, a frequent commenter in the Blog who’s been trying hard to win — and finally hit it in Bingo Zone this weekend (along with 54 other Bingo Zone winners this past Saturday and Sunday).
So congratulations to Zuookie, to Crickettot, and to all this weekend’s winners!
Useless Fact
Zuookie and Crickettot both hail from the fine state of Michigan… which, I admit, is more a Trippy Coincidence than a Useless Fact. BUT did you know that Crickettot’s hometown of Harrison and Zuookie’s hometown of Lansing combine to form Harrison Lansing, a freelance photograper from British Columbia, Canada? Believe it!

The team here at Gamesville HQ is a tad obsessed with games. So much so that we've reached the point where we've started playing games while creating new games for you to play! Recently we've created a little game of Buzzword Bingo to play along with during the work day. The rules are simple: whenever someone casually mentions a phrase from your Bingo Buzzword card over the course of the day you daub the box containing the phrase. You win by completing a row on the card and of course yelling "Bingo!" Here is one of our custom cards:
By visiting the Super Bingo Card Creator you can join in on the fun too and start your own game of buzzword bingo. Play your own version of office bingo by loading in your own phrases into the 5 x 5 grid, or choose one of the prepackaged word lists. It's just what our team needed to start a productive 2009!
