It was a BIG weekend for the revamped Magic 21, as congratulations are in order to not one but TWO big winners who took home cold, hard cash this weekend! Hot off the heels of Kendalline's big DOUBLE jackpot on Thursday it was Iowahawks0's turn to score big as she took $428 home to Des Moines. And a mere 24 hours later we saw our second winner, Oshe of Bend, OR, take home $496 in cash for herself! With cards this hot, why give up the opportunity for this much cash? Try the all-new Magic 21 today!

We've heard of family squabbles, but this one may take the cake. According to KTLA comedian Sunda Croonquist's mother-in-law jokes may have struck a nerve, as she is now being sued by the family member for spreading false, defamatory lies with in-law jokes that have become a staple of her routine. The action seeks damages and demands that Croonquist remove any offensive statements from her Web site, routines and recordings. While Croonquist agreed to drop any language her family finds offensive in her act, she refuses to pay any settlement. That must be one tough crowd to entertain during the holidays. Read the full story at KTLA…

Today is a day for the history books! Why? Because kendalline of Haleyville, AL, (pictured at left) became the first winner in our recently revised version of Magic 21!
Best of all, because this savvy card player is a GV Gold member, the stated jackpot in Magic 21 automatically doubled for her from $636 to $1,272–just like magic.
Congratulations, kendalline!
Useless Fact! Haleyville, AL, is located in Winston/Marion county and is the proud home of the award-winning Haleyville High School Band. The band's last notable victory was in 2003 when they were crowned Grand Champion in a national competition.
Bonus Useless Fact! Bigfoot has been sighted in Winston/Marion county.

This week's Best Pet comes to us from Gamesviller April1721 of Schenectady, New York. Meet her cuddly little fighter, Cat Mandu!
Distinguishing Personality Traits
April1721 says, "This is Cat Mandu, our kitten we got from the shelter a little over five months ago. With a dangerously low white blood cell count he's been fighting for his life since we took him in. Cat Mandu often can't eat, drink or move quickly without some assistance. Even after all his fighting he still manages to cuddle up next to me and my husband and give us all the love he has in his little body. He is such a strong cat and I thank God everyday we gave him a safe and loving home to be a part of. I don't know what I would do without seeing his beautiful blue eyes everyday."

The legend of Sasquatch (the Native American term for Bigfoot) has existed for centuries. This elusive creature has been spotted throughout the Pacific Northwest as well as other parts of the world including China and Nepal. Now for the Bigfoot collector and cryptozoologist in all of us there is something totally unique to carry the legend along with you, the Sasqwatch! These solid, wilderness-tested, water resistant watches have been almost twenty years in the creation. Makes us wonder if it'll take another twenty to come out with the Abominable Snowman edition. Get your very own Sasqwatch today!

This week's Best Pet comes to us from Gamesviller Angelgaldonna of Parksville, BC. Meet her cuddly companion, Zeus!
Distinguishing Personality Traits
Angelgaldonna says, "Zeus was given to us by my husband's son two years ago and fit in very well. Zeus is pure white with one blue eye and one green eye. He is so lovable–he will literally hug me with both paws around my neck when I pick him up as well as rub our faces together and do a couple 'head-butts'. He spends most days in the back yard hiding in a bushy area just watching the birds. His fur is the thickest I have ever seen on a cat; I've have to brush & comb him at least twice a week. He's sort of like a polar bear!"
