A Winster player submitted the following poem:
"Granny's Gone Bananas!"
"Granny's gone Bananas!" - well,
That's what Grandad said.
"Quite late at night, she plays a game
When she should be in bed."
She knows not who - but some kind friend
Forwarded her name
To a website where she found
An invite to a game.
At first, when checking out this site,
She'd not the slightest clue.
She clicked on 'Spin' - Bananas came!
She soon learnt what to do.
And now she's telling Grandad
That this, he would enjoy
Because, although he's eighty-five,
At heart, he's still a boy!

"I want you to know that I truly love this website! Not only is it incredibly
fun, but I have made a lot of friends on the Winster site! Many of the players
that I am friends with have exchanged phone numbers with me, and I have spoken
to several on the phone! I am disabled and am not from New Hampshire (where I
live now), and I know no one in a close enough proximity to have frequent
visitors. However, I made a friend on Winster (thank you!) who actually came
to my home and spent the day with me!!! It was so nice to have company who I
could laugh and talk with as I spend my days alone because my husband works. I
owe a new friendship to winster, along with a huge thank you!"

"I am having a blast at Winster. I cashed a movie ticket and all went perfectly. This is a real pleasure after years of playing on Pogo and winning nothing with all those millions of points. Winster members overall have been most pleasant and happy to trade. I really enjoy meeting new people and helping others learn the system."

"Winster is a fun, inexpensive way to relax. I was skeptical when I joined, but figured I'd do the free trial and then cancel. My winning's have more than paid for itself. I have won 15 movie tickets so far, and am trying for the George Forman grill. Great way to release some tension and win prizes also."
-- Janice Grover, Pompano Beach, FL
