Dawber is right! (applause) Greg's going to get some money here!  (applause) Well well, the Jackpot! So you're going to leave us with at least another $550! But maybe you won't have to leave us at all. Greg, we're in an unusual situation here. In order to play in Round 7 and 8, you have to have more than Matt. Matt has $2,100 and you now have $550, for a difference of $1,550. This means, you must match the "Double Your Dollars" cards within 5 picks, so that's all you will be getting at the big board. Anything other than getting the Double Your Dollars matched 3 times within 5 picks, and it will be all over for you I fear. But we just saw Jon get a $3,000 match, so there's no reason why you can't too!  5 picks to match the three "Double Your Dollars" cards Greg, please start by selecting 2 boxes, and good luck. |

40 on the red... (flip)  NFL Football team logos. Those sports keep haunting you it seems Greg. He needs the DOUBLES.....20 on the green... (flip)  (applause) You got one. Need to find 2 more in just 3 picks. Where to next Greg? |

40 on the green... (flip)  No, I'm sorry that was the Green Bay Packers... Matt & Jon, you two will be moving on... Greg, it was a valiant effort in the end. And doesn't it seem fitting that somehow, a board with sports logos would trip you up here. $550 today plus the $100 you won previously, and some very nice parting gifts. Greg Palmer everybody! (applause) When we return, Round 7 and 8 between Matt and Jon. Who will emerge top winner and go on to play for a cash jackpot and possibly that new car? Stay tuned! |

 And then there were 2. Both players with a lot at stake here. If Matt can win, he'll be playing for the car. And actually, Jon, so too will you. You also made an instant match during Round 5. We'll need to reflect that on your podium! Meantime, 2 rounds left. Keep in mind if after Round 7, one player's score is too high to be caught, the game will be called right then and there. Matt you need to catch up, down by $3,000, however one match can earn you $3,000 instantly, as you saw happen to Jon just a short time ago. Let's see who will get first crack at the category board, the Jackpot question is now worth $650.  Both players went high, the code is just 28, Matt with a 70 you're actually closer, so you get to choose. Top, Middle or Bottom? |

And your category is...  Moby Dick. Here's the question for you Matt.  Ishmael tells about the captain of the Pequod seeking revenge against the giant whale. For some money, and most importantly, another trip to the matching board, what was the captain's name? |

Aye me hearty! (applause)  $250 added to your score Matt, up to $2,350. The last Jackpot question will be worth $750. Right now however, Matt, you're wanting to make a match, and the sooner the better for you too...  Call out your first 2 boxes please Matt and good luck. |

20 on the Red... (flip)  7 picks. (flip)  Pittsburgh Steelers logo. Our late great friend Bill Cullen came from Pittsburgh. Now 40 on the Yellow. (flip)  And the Green Bay Packers logo. 5 picks remaining, if your next 2 make 3 on a match it's $1,250 for you Matt, but if your next 3 picks are all the DOUBLE YOUR DOLLARS cards, that will mean $2,000 instead. Where to next? |

30 on the green... (flip)  That's a welcome sight. Find 2 more on your next 2 picks and you'll pick up $2,000 more and really close the gap on Jon! Which box next Matt? |

(I look a tad puzzled) 30 on the Blue... (flip)  Okay, you have 2 Steelers, if there's one more in the 40 column and you pick it next, you'll win $1,000 anyway. |

 Got it! (applause) $1,000 more for that match...  Matt closing the gap some, but Jon still with a pretty good lead, going into the 8th and final round... Matt, if Jon gets control and answers one more question correctly, the game will be over. This is a big one as both players will be playing for the $29,000 jackpot plus the car...  Jon, you are closer. Top, Middle or Bottom? |

Is right! (applause)  And Jon is today's winner! First of all to you Matt Ringgenberg, you played very well indeed. $3,350 today added to what you won previously, you are leaving with...  $16,075 in cash! (applause) And Jon, the $5,300 you won today, when added to your prior winnings, gives you a current total of...  $15,525! (applause) When we return, if Jon can make one more Three on a Match, he will win at least $29,000 in cash and a brand new $35,000 automobile. Will he do it? Come back to find out, after this!!! |

(Cheering & applauding)  Here I am with today's winner, Jon Darrell. Over fifteen and a half thousand bucks already won. And Jon, because you made an instant match in the game earlier today, you automatically will be playing for the cash jackpot, currently worth $29,000. If you match the three DOUBLE YOUR DOLLAR$ cards within 7 picks, you'll win double that, or $58,000 in cash! (canned NBC ooohs & ahhs) Furthermore Jon, if you make a match today of any money amount on the board, you'll win the $29,000 jackpot, retire from our show, and drive home in this...Frank? FRANK - (As Don Pardo) : It's a brand new CAR!!! (cheering & applauding)  Who says luxury and comfort can't co-exist? Opt for the 304 horsepower V6 engine and you'll be enjoying the road in no time. Confidence never goes out of style. It's the 2015 Buick LaCrosse, retail value... THIRTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS!!! (loud applause) And now back to you Bill! Thank you Frank. Well Jon, the stage is set. 7 picks from the big board. Match any 3 like money amounts and win $29,000 and the car. Match the 3 Double Your Dollars cards and you'll win the car and $58,000.  If you have no questions Jon, I will now ask you to please select your first 2 boxes, and we all wish you the very best of luck. Go get 'em! |
