 I will explain the game as we go along. A top cash prize of $25,000 could be won plus, with a lot of amazing extreme luck, a 2023 Cadillac Escalade could also be won! Who would like to try this? |

We will play a series of these boards.
Before you select from that board however, you will select from one of 12 boxes.
I do not have access for the visual to post right now, however, picture three rows of four envelopes.
RED GREEN YELLOW BLUE
RED GREEN YELLOW BLUE
RED GREEN YELLOW BLUE
In each of these envelopes is a cash amount ranging from as little as $500 all the way up to $1,250.
You will select one envelope and we will reveal the cash amount inside, and then I will explain what happens next.
So please select either Top, Middle or Bottom, and select one of those four colors as well.

That's my favorite color too!
I have the answer key at home, so we'll continue this later on today as I am currently at work.

 $500, a modest start. Now in order to win that $500 Immanuel, all you have to do is to uncover a dollar sign in the top row of monitors on this board: One monitor has a dollar sign. Find it, and you'll score $500 and have 1 dollar sign to your credit. To win the really big money, you must uncover a total of 5 dollar signs, one at a time, before you hit 3 strikes. For in one of those three monitors indeed lurks a strike. And behind one monitor is a question mark. If you pick that, you will then be asked a question with 2 possible answers. Pick the right answer, and score a dollar sign. Pick the wrong answer, and that is a strike. Any money you do win along the way is yours, but as you can see by the payoff chart at the bottom, to win the really big money, you need to get 5 dollar signs before 3 strikes. Do it with no strikes, and you'll be paid 20 times the 4th dollar amount you uncover, should you make it that far. 5 dollar signs with 1 strike, and you'll be paid 15 times, 2 strikes with 5 dollar signs, 10 times that 4th dollar amount. One other thing, if you should find a dollar sign on your first try with the first 5 boards we play, you will automatically win $25,000 in cash plus a 2023 Cadillac Escalade! Immanuel, where is that first dollar sign, behind STRIKE, IT, or RICH? |

I reaaally hope so too! (reveal sound effect)  ALRIGHT! Off to a really good start!  Easiest 500 bucks you ever earned I bet!  Back to the envelope board. All 12 cash awards have been shuffled up. You are welcome to choose any one you wish, which will it be? |

Top Green is...  Can you believe that! The lowest amount again! I promise you there are cash awards up to $1,250 up here! Going for another $500... Going for your second dollar sign now Immanuel. Find it right now and the car will still be in play. STRIKE, IT or RICH? |

By golly they are, aren't they? Stephen King gets a royalty every time IT is said too! For another $500...  OH NO! Drat! Well the car is off the table.....and the table's legs are not nearly as strained as a result...  Still the possibility of winning 15 times as yet, an unknown amount. What we DO know is you're still trying for another $500. We've shuffled the board once again. Which position, STRIKE, IT or RICH? |

Post by babytims on Feb 18, 2023 12:18:20 GMT -5
Let's try "It" again please, hoping not to get bit twice.

This time...  ''' A question. And the category is OVER or UNDER. I'll read you a question and give you a numeric answer that is incorrect. I'll then ask you if the correct answer is OVER or UNDER the number given. Here is the question... How many different ways are there to make change for one U.S. dollar? The wrong answer is 179. Is the right answer OVER 179 or UNDER 179 Immanuel? |

Post by babytims on Feb 18, 2023 18:28:48 GMT -5
I'll guess under

Post by billmcdee on Feb 18, 2023 18:35:41 GMT -5
You'll win 500 more of those one dollar bills if the correct answer is UNDER...  OH NO!!!!!! Would you believe there are actually 293 different ways to make change for a dollar bill??  Two strikes now partner. We have to be perfect the rest of the way. STRIKE, IT or RICH this time Immanuel? |

Oh God. Let's get "Rich"

Hoping to avoid strike 3. Hoping at the very least it's a question mark, but we really would love to see another dollar sign under RICH...  Another question. This one will be...  BEFORE or AFTER this time... A correct answer will house a dollar sign, the incorrect answer means strike three. Here's the question... In recent years, vaccines have been very much in the news. But a long time ago, Dr. Jonas Salk announced his discovery of a polio vaccine. The question is, did he announce this discovery BEFORE 1950 or AFTER? |

Post by billmcdee on Feb 18, 2023 20:45:20 GMT -5
If it was after 1950, you're still in this game. If it was before, then it's all over... It was...  AFTER! 1952! Well done!  3 more dollar signs away from paydirt, meantime you still have $1,000 guaranteed no matter what.  All cash awards have been shuffled up, now let's get that twelve-fifty this time, no more of this 500 dollar jazz! Select a row and a color please Immanuel. |

Let's do bottom blue this time.

Post by billmcdee on Feb 18, 2023 21:28:10 GMT -5
 Okay $600 this time, better than $500! But you have to earn it by getting another dollar sign! The top three monitors are back in play once again. Where'd we hide that dollar sign this time, under STRIKE, IT or RICH? |

Eenie meenie miney, Rich.

Somewhere the spirit of Moe Howard of the Three Stooges is scowling. Looking for another dollar sign under RICH...  ALRIGHT! (Applause)  Now you have 3 dollar signs, $1,600 guaranteed, but let's win more! Back to our money envelopes. Please pick a row and color once again Immanuel. Let's get that $1,250! |

 $750 this time you will add if you either find a dollar sign right away, or if you have to take a question, getting the question correct. Above all other things Immanuel, avoid that strike! Which box, STRIKE, IT, or RICH? |
|

Post by babytims on Feb 19, 2023 11:10:25 GMT -5
Strike please

Post by billmcdee on Feb 19, 2023 11:19:58 GMT -5
And under the STRIKE this time we have...  OH NO! Strike 3 and mighty Immanuel has struck out! Well the bad news is you didn't win the really big money, but you still did Strike It Rich here in our bonus game to the tune of $1,600! Not so bad! Thank you for playing, I hope you enjoyed it and would love to hear your opinion and everybody else's opinions about this as a possible future end game. |
