Colorado Springs, Colorado: In her promotional appearance on the game show "Lingo," Ewa Laurance and BALLBREAKERS co-host Sal Masekela teamed up to take the grand prize on the show that aired September 29. Competing for charity, Ms. Laurance chose the Billiard Education Foundation to receive $2,500 from her share of the winnings.

Hosted by Chuck Woolery, "Lingo" is the highest rated original game show exclusive to GSN. In it, Lingo balls bounce as two-person teams compete to guess a hidden word hinted at from letter clues. Laurance and Masekela were showcased in the high-stakes round, after the guest appearances were scheduled as a promotion for GSN’s BALLBREAKERS series. In their show, Laurance and Masekela host a high-energy, fast-paced multi-round elimination game in which four players face off in 9-Ball for a chance to win $20,000.

The BALLBREAKERS series also offers benefit episodes, featuring celebrities Tia Carrere ("Wayne’s World"), Lou Diamond Phillips ("La Bamba"), Camryn Manheim ("The Practice") and Eric Roberts ("Less Than Perfect") in one and Noah Wyle and Goran Visnjic ("ER"), Dorian Harewood ("Roots") and Julie McCullough ("Growing Pains") in another. Winners in these episodes can also earn donations to their favorite charities.

BALLBREAKERS airs on GSN each Saturday at 10:00 pm (Eastern and Pacific), with a repeat on the following Monday at 10:00 pm and twice more on the following Friday at 11:00 pm and 2:00 am. Laurance Donates $2,500 to BEF
