Bryan Law won $4,200 on episode 1 and needs a new challenger to take him on. The first person to sign up, kindly tell me your name, where you're from, what you do, and/or anything you're comfortable sharing.
The Bonus Sprint's first word is worth $2,500 always, but the second word, known as the Jackpot Word, is worth $12,500 and it may grow.
The only rule change is during the Bonus Sprint, when one letter is selected and placed, the unselected letter will remain and a new letter will pop in beside it. Random.org will still be used to determine the order in which the letters will appear.
Best,
Bill

Sorry for the delay, was working on some updated visuals, and also will be introducing a second end game where really huge dollars could be won! As much as $50,000 could be won for this added extra bonus game which will be played after the Bonus Sprint, but winning the really big bucks will not be easy, not at all.
This second end game will be played, regardless of the outcome of the Bonus Sprint, however, in order to play for a possible $50,000, the Bonus Sprint game must be won, otherwise, lesser money amounts will be played for.
This second end game, called the JACKPOT word, is played like this.
11 numbered tiles will be provided to select from. 7 of those tiles contain the letters J A C K P O T. 3 of the tiles are stoppers, and 1 tile will be a Star. The Star can be used as a wild card, to represent any one of the 7 letters in JACKPOT.
Before playing, the contestant will get to select one of the 7 spaces for a blue square, and another a pink square. The other 5 spaces will be the normal grey color squares.
If the player spells out JACKPOT they will win money.
If you place the final letter with 0 stoppers on a regular square, you win $25,000 more.
If you place the final letter with 0 stoppers on a blue square, you win $37,500.
If you place the final letter with 0 stoppers on a pink square, you win $50,000.
If you place the final letter with 1 stopper on a regular square, you win $15,000.
If you place the final letter with 1 stopper on a blue square, you win $22,500.
If you place the final letter with 1 stopper on a pink square, you win $30,000.
If you place the final letter with 2 stoppers on a regular square, you win $10,000.
If you place the final letter with 2 stoppers on a blue square, you win $15,000.
If you place the final letter with 2 stoppers on a blue square, you win $20,000.
If you pick all 3 stoppers before spelling out JACKPOT completely, you still win money. Each square will have a money amount assigned to it, $500, $550, $600, $650, $700, $750 and $1,250. Those will be shuffled and hidden at random and revealed when a letter lands on that square. Any money on a blue square is worth double, and any money on a pink square is worth triple.
If the Bonus Sprint is NOT won, this game will still be played, but only for $5,000. All of the squares will be grey. Money amounts hidden will be $200, $250, $300, $350, $400, $450 and $500.
Bryan, when we begin today's show, I will have you play this round to begin, for $5,000, since you lost yesterday's Bonus Sprint.

I work for the leading convenience store chain in the northeast,over the last few years we've put more of an emphasis on ready to eat fresh foods, sandwiches, a full coffee bar that has been rivaling "The Pink and Orange brand". In my spare time I do balloon decor for parties and a fair amount of Karaoke as well

Sounds awesome Steve. I don't suppose I could convince you to come here and take over the NBC Commissary?
(chuckling in the audience)
Steve, good luck to you today, and with your kind indulgence Steve, we'll ask you to stand by, or actually sit in this case, as we're going to introduce a new bonus game that we didn't get to play on yesterday's show, so you can root Bryan on for this part at least.
Bryan's back with $4,200. As I recall you work part time at a Dollar General store. What kind of work do you do there specifically Bryan?

Very nice to see you again Bryan, good luck today. As I mentioned a moment ago, we've added a supplemental bonus game which will be played at the end of every program. We didn't feature it on our first episode but we wanted to give you all a preview of it. This time Bryan, you'll be playing for up to $5,000.  The seven letters in the word JACKPOT are controlled by seven of those eleven numbered tiles. You'll select one tile at a time. If it's a good letter, it will pop into the word JACKPOT outline in red. The green outline has the randomly hidden money amounts. Each time you place a letter successfully, that money will go into the bank. Three of the tiles are stoppers. One tile is a bonus tile, and if you hit it, you'll hear a special sound. That acts as a wildcard, and you can make that tile any letter you wish. You can either play it immediately or you can wait. If you choose to wait, you cannot elect to play it until you place at least one more letter in the word JACKPOT. Spell out JACKPOT before you select the third stopper, and it's $5,000 more for your till. Okay? So Bryan, select a number you think is lucky and we'll get started. |

 Tile six... www.televisiontunes.com/Scrabble_-_Letter_Check.html www.televisiontunes.com/Scrabble_-_Bonus_Squares.html(applause)  Bryan, you found that wild card tile. You can choose to play it right now, making it one of the remaining letters in JACKPOT, or you can save it for later, with the understanding that you can only use it after you place another letter successfully. Do you want to use it now or save it? If you want to use it now, tell me which letter, A, C, K, P, O or T you want to make it. |

Otherwise known as the Bo Derek tile...  (Scrabbling sound)  (ding) Tile 10 was a "C", and another $250 into the pot...  $1,550 already yours no matter what, still trying for $5,000. Seven tiles remain, three are good, three are stoppers and one is a repeat letter. If you happen to draw a repeat letter, which in this case would be the "T", you'll simply here this sound... (buzz buzz). No harm, no foul. Bryan, keep it up. Which tile next? |

8 was selected previously, and was your first stopper.
Tiles remaining are the 2, the 4, the 9 and the 11.

In goes tile 9...  (Scrabbling sound)  (Stopper sound effect). Well, the bad news is that was stopper number 2. The good news, you have a two out of three chance of picking a good tile here Bryan. 2, 4 and 11 are left to choose from. Which one? |

Tile 2 it is...  (Scrabbling sound)  (Stopper sound) Oh no! (Groaning in the audience). Well Bryan, you had a good start, and did score $1,850 more anyway...  Total winnings now up to $6,050 (applause)... And remember at the end of this episode, one of you two will be playing this same bonus game, and it could be worth as much as $50,000 in cash! (oohs and ahhs)... Steve, thank you for your patience. We'll ask you to be a little more patient as we need to take a break before we set up for our first Crossword Game...  I'll explain about all these new things here at my podium when we return! (Outro theme plays)... |
