NORFOLK, VA -- (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Three is a lucky number for mother-to-be Natasha, as Internet casino GoldenPalace.com scored a hat trick by purchasing the right to name her soon-to-be-born triplets due in August. One of the babies will be called "GoldenPalace.com."

Using eBay's "Buy It Now" option, GoldenPalace.com immediately added the triplets' naming rights to their ever-growing collection of eBay oddities and advertising signage that include the Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese Sandwich ($28,000), the Ghost Cane ($65,000), one silicon breast implant belonging to a former Playboy Cover Girl ($16,766), a pretzel shaped in the image of the Madonna and Child ($10,600), and dozens more outlandish auctions.

This triple play comes shortly after the casino announced they will be permanently re-naming Tennessee resident Terri Ilagan "GoldenPalace.com" as well. At this rate, a significant percent of the country's population could be named GoldenPalace.com by the end of the month.

"One of the children will be named GoldenPalace.com for sure," said GoldenPalace.com CEO Richard Rowe. "The other two names will be revealed in August when the children are born."

Creative, edgy advertising is the name of the game for GoldenPalace.com, who is credited for a surge of popularity in outrageous eBay auctions. Sources from the casino say that they have received thousands of emails over the past few months from would-be sellers of eccentric and extraordinary items.
