Our board is locked and reloaded so let's continue our Race to a Million!  We're ready to begin Round 40 with our top two players about to battle it out.   Jon is the only one in the race with six figures but that could change if Matt gets the upper hand in this round. He's $11,600 away. Gentlemen, using your keypads, lock in your Bombs. *think music* We're all set. Matt, you go first. |

#6 for Jon...  Ooh, Jon. If you win this round, you can perhaps trade your score in for a random dollar amount between $0 and $999,999 by playing the Mystery ? mini-game. Let's see what happens here first, though. Matt, the board is yours. |

Going with #12...  *cheers and applause* $200 times two will put another $400 into your bank.  Okay, Jon, have at it. |

 $25 times two is worth another $50 for you, Matt.  Jon, what would you like? |

Number three...  You've found the other $25 only this one is at face value.  Matt, pick again. |

Matt picks #4...  *awws from audience* Well, Matt, your tough luck continues as you Bomb out and Jon wins this round. *applause* As they say, when you're hot, you're hot and when you're cold, you're cold. Your cold streak results in a $50-loss, Matt. You're still in second place with $88,900.  Jon, meanwhile, you get $100 for winning the round plus $200 for all the squares still in play. You hang onto the lead with $127,000.  Before we play your mini-game, let's see what was on the board.  Ooh, Matt, you really could have used that Multi-Saver. None of you wanted any part of that Randomizer, not that it was a bad thing. Jon, let me explain how the Mystery $ works. If you decide to go for it, we will wipe your slate clean and give you a random dollar amount to replace it. In theory, you can end up with as much as $999,999 and potentially end the race in your next round. However, you can drop all the way back to fifth place because the Mystery $ could very well be a low amount or even $0. All you have to do in this mini-game is answer me this question. Do you want to trade your score for the Mystery ? or fore go the chance and keep the $127,000 you have right now? |

I'll keep the money, thanks.

*mild applause* Sounds like the audience agrees with that move, Jon. I'd keep it that way if I was in the lead, too. Why don't we see what would have happened had you chosen the Mystery ?, though. This is completely theoretical. Wipe Jon's score clean for a second...  May we see what Jon could have traded his score for?  *cheers and applause* You made the right move, Jon. Not only would you have lost $50,000 but you also would have dropped a spot on the leaderboard. You still lead with $127,000. Round 41 is coming up next! |

All right, starting with #11...  And we have an interesting start to the round. Clement, you'll begin your turn by picking two squares. Which two would you like? |

7 and 8.

Picking #7 first...  *cheers and applause* That's a good one! $350 doubled because of your multiplier.  Your next pick is #8. Hopefully, we can add to that...  *cheers and applause* And we do! Those two picks combined were worth one grand to you! Nice going!  Matt, we're now back to you. |

Last number up for grabs in the second column...  *cheers and applause* And that's good for another $400. You're inching your way closer to third place.  Matt, where to? |

Here we go, number five...  *cheers and applause* And look at this. For the rest of this round, every pick will be multiplied by ten. Clement, if you win this round, that will carry over to the Bonus Round. Let's focus on getting there first, what's your next pick? |

Going after 9...  *cheers and applause* Ooh, there's an added incentive if you win this round. You could win as much as $60,000 playing the Ma+h Time mini-game when all is said and done. In the meantime, Matt is trying to stop you. He has the next pick. |
