Win An Ipod Touch

777 Dragon Online Casino is giving you a chance to win a brand new Ipod Touch. I absolutely love my Touch. I use it mostly for apps and music. I recently installed some educational apps on it for my daughter. It's a fun way for her to keep up on math and reading while school is out for the summer.

I was excited to hear that 777 Dragon was giving away an Ipod because I also love to play poker. After a long day of working, kids and housework, I love to chill out by playing some poker. It relaxes me and takes my mind off any of the day's worries.

If poker isn't your game, don't worry. 777 Dragon Online Casino offers all kinds of casino games. You can play cards, dice, roulette, slots and many more. Don't forget to check out their current promotions such as a 200% match on deposits.

So let's go play and win. Simply enter using the Rafflecopter tool below - grab as many points as you can to maximize your chances of winning! The winner will be announced 15 July 2012... T&C's apply.

Gather friends, family, and refreshments and a enjoy a little patio retreat fully furnished with this four-piece set from Strathwood. The Brentwood collection includes two arm chairs, a coffee table, and a loveseat. Designed to withstand the elements, the furniture's frames are constructed of powder-coated steel in an attractive black with bronze flecks. Powder coating gives the furniture great protection against rust. Comfortable, durable seat cushions are upholstered in a polyester fabric designed for outdoors.

Cushion Care and Cleaning: Gently brush off dirt before it becomes embedded in the fabric and wipe up any spills as soon as they occur. Gently spot clean only with mild soap and cool water using a sponge or soft brush, then air dry cushions in a sunny location. Bring cushions indoors during inclement weather and store in a dry place when not in use.

Strathwood furniture has quality, ease of use, and casual elegance at its core. Each piece is rigorously tested for durability, and assembly instructions have been standardized for simplicity from start to finish. Strathwood furniture is sleekly designed, handsomely finished, and built to last. This classic style and reliable craftsmanship will weather ever-changing trends and regular use for years to come.
