Lucky Numbers (ABC; Episode 4)

[billmcdee]

Indeed I am Doug!

[dougmorrisontheair]

All righty then. Bill, you know how this works. But we're still a new show -- and some folks are likely looking into the proceedings for the first time. So, here's how the Lucky Numbers main event works.

During the match, the lucky numbers were worth cash. Here in the main event, the lucky numbers hide portions of three different medals -- gold, silver and bronze. Each medal has been split in half...

...and each half medal is hiding behind one of those lucky numbers. To collect half a medal, all you have to do is have a roll equal a lucky number. Now, let us show you those half medals.

(reveal sfx)

And there they are. Rolls of 6 and 8 in any combination will put together the bronze medal. Roll a 5 and 9 and you collect both halves of the silver medal. And to capture the most valuable gold medal, you'll need rolls of 4 and 10.

Now, let's cover them back up.

Bill, as you know, once you complete a medal, you may trade that medal in for a prize.

Since you lost one prize in the last show's main event -- and the other two were never claimed -- all three prizes are back in play for this main event. I'll quickly review what were, and still are, the prizes at stake.

You'll recall the prizes spun in one way or another. The bronze level prize is a top of the line washer/dryer from Frigidaire -- valued at $1100.

The silver level prize is a complete American Roulette layout -- with chips, ball, and -- wait for it -- a *spinning* wheel. That comes from Name of the Game and it has a value of $3295.

(prize music plays)

And I'm going to let our Bill -- Bill Kennedy -- give you the 411 on the gold level prize.

Bill K.: That's right, Bill. If you put the gold medal together -- and go for a spin in a BRAND NEW CAR!!!

(audience cheers)

Feel the need for speed with the Volvo S60 -- comes with a 240 horsepower engine, automatic transmission, cruise control, eight-speaker sound system and much more. This fantastic car is valued at $36,475.

So far, this main event with spins is valued at $40,870.

(audience cheers)

Thanks, Bill Kennedy. Bill McDee, more than $40,000 in merchandise can be yours in as few as six rolls of the dice.

But there's more. If you put together all three medals, not only do you win the three prizes, you also win our bonus jackpot currently worth...

(drum beats; cha-ching)

(audience cheers)

....$130,000!

You can build on that pot as you play. Every wild roll of 2, 3, 11 or 12 adds $5000 to the pot *and* allows you to take any half medal you haven't claimed -- except for the one remaining half medal. When your down to one lucky number, You'll have as many as five rolls to collect that last half medal on a natural roll.

So if you can clean house, you will win no less than $170,870 in cash and merchandise.

(more cheers)

Winning all that loot won't be easy. Any roll of 7 is still bad. First roll of 7 in the main event puts you in the danger zone; once there, anything and everything you've earned in this main event is at risk. The next roll of 7 means you lose everything except the $16,075 you banked in the two matches you've won.

Ready to roll those dice, Bill?

[billmcdee]

I am ready to roll Doug.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered cheers)

All right, Bill. We're all with you now. Good luck and go get those medals.

(more cheers as...) (Bill rolls)

There's a 6. That's good for half the bronze medal.

(reveal sfx)

Just roll an 8 -- and you get the washer/dryer which you lost on the last show.

(Bill rolls)

There's a 9. Half the silver's now yours.

(reveal sfx)

Just need the 5 for the roulette layout.

(Bill rolls)

And that a 6. Repeat roll.

(drum beats; cha-ching)

Anytime a repeat roll happens on the main event, we'll add $2500 to the bonus jackpot. Keep on rolling, Bill.

(Bill rolls)

(audience groans)

(danger zone cue; lights flicker in studio))

Uh oh.

Bill, you're in the danger zone. It's decision time. You've got halves of different medals. So no prize to speak of.

Tell ya what I'm gonna do. I'll let you stop the game right now -- and give you $1000 for each half medal you currently have. That's $2000 you may bank right now and call it a day -- or you may keep rolling.

(audience shouts suggestions)

Remember, if you decide to play on, you must continue until you find the other half of the bronze or silver medal -- or both halves of the gold medal. Only then will I give you another chance to stop to keep more cash and a prize.

[billmcdee]

I will continue rolling Doug.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

All right. Money comes back to the house. You're still rolling. A 5 or an 8 get you a prize. Good luck and roll 'em.


(more cheers as...)

(Bill rolls)

Another 6.

(drum beats; cha-ching)

Another $2500 in the pot -- and another roll coming up.

(Bill rolls)

Darn it.

(buzz; PQA25 "wonk wonk" cue play; audience groans)

(shakes head)

Bill, I don't get it. You've won $8000 and change per match -- but here in the main event, you end up with bupkis.

[billmcdee]

That's alright.  I love bupkis with butter

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered laughter from the crowd)

I bet you'd like $135,000 in cash, a car, a roulette layout and a washer/dryer even better.

[billmcdee]

Most definitely.  I'll gladly trade the bupkis for it all.

[dougmorrisontheair]

That's the spirit. I tell ya what. Let's take a break here. Bill, when we come back, we'll tell you what happens from here -- when Lucky Numbers continues.

(commercial cue plays; audience applause)

Bill McDee's our two-time champ. No prizes to his credit -- but a lot of coin.

$16,075. (audience cheers) Bill, if you win the next match, you *will* play for the prizes you tried to win earlier...

...as well as the bonus jackpot that went up to $135,000. Win five straight matches -- and you're playing for more than $1,000,000 in an all-cash main event.

(more cheers)

'Til next time, when Bill and his next opponent try their luck with the numbers, make it a great day, keep the faith and treasure your loved ones.
