Last month Gamesviller Cadsamd of Hermantown, MN, won a $500 playing Super Chef here at Gamesville!
What will she be doing with her BIG winnings? What’s her Gamesville member name an anagram for? Find out below…
Gamesville: Congratulations! What was it like when you realized you won?
I was trying out the new game Super Chef and started playing just for the fun of it. When I was playing up popped a screen with all the W, I, N letters and I thought ‘Wow, is the winning screen?’ So I played it out and then it gave me the choice of picking a letter for my prize. When it opened to $500.00 I was in complete shock! My husband was on the phone and when he got off I screamed, ‘I just won $500.00 on Gamesville!’
What will you spend your winnings on?
I was laid off in April of 2008 and for the first time in 40 years I have been unemployed. Even though my husband works full-time we have had to make sacrifices and cut back on the some of the fun things we enjoy. We were debating taking a trip this summer and with the extra $500.00 we decided to take a week vacation out of town.
What do you do for a living?
Before being laid off last year I was a full charge bookkeeper for an electrical contractor. I enjoy accounting but working full-time was hard to balance along with being able to spend time with aging parents and grandchildren.
What’s your favorite month?
I think August would be my favorite month because it’s warm but not too hot and humid. I live in Minnesota and as I get older I’ve learned to hate winter months and really embrace the summer.
How would friends describe you?
I’m usually called generous when it comes to giving to my kids and grandchildren. I would prefer to be referred to as loving.
What does your member name mean?
My member name is made up of the first three letters of my last name and the initials of my husband, myself and our two sons.
Thanks, Cadsamd – and congratulations again on your win!

This week’s Best Pets comes to us from Gamesviller Velmarosinaj from all the way down under in Western Australia. This week she’s sharing stories about her pet, James, who recently passed away:
“Here is my dog James who I got from a rescue center here in Australia eight years ago. He came with some very sad issues, being scared of being handled and would even snap at family members if they tried to pick him up. Sometimes he would hide under the bed and only come out for his dinner, it was such a sad sight.
“But what was really funny about James is what a fantastic singer he was! I would sing ‘How much is that doggy in the window’ in front of him and he would always sing along.
“After eight years of loving and caring for James with all my heart and soul he has left me. Knowing I gave him eight more years than he would have had if I had not taken him home makes me happy for the times we had together. Love and miss you, James.”
