$250,000 is CORRECT!!! and BILL has done it.  Congratulations, BILL....another payoff point, another $500 and a $2,500 bonus for getting all three payoff points in a row. (DING DONG DING) That sound means that we are going into our 10 question SPRINT ROUND. Our categories will be shuffled and the payoff point will be ten more than the last one and each time you get the payoff point, you'll get $100. After the SPRINT ROUND is over, the two with the highest scores will go on to the FINAL SHOWDOWN. Also, you'll get $25 per point you gain during the SPRINT ROUND. THe payoff point is........  36.....and here's a three-point toss-up question for control: TOSS-UP QUESTION: What famous TV game show host hosted "Blockbusters", "Child's Play' and "Pass The Buck"? THE BUZZ-IN NUMBER IS: 41 Here are the results: MATT first BILL second RAYMOND third (BZZT) MATT, your answer? |

NEW MEXICO and LOUISIANA are the other ones and you're right.  You are two points away from the payoff point which means, of course, that only the first two categories are in play.  What's your pleasure? |
