Lucky Numbers (ABC; Episode 7)

[dougmorrisontheair]

No, it's an onion.

So that gives the crucial choice to Anthony. Roll or pass?

(audience shouts suggestions)

[Deleted]

I will pass. I feel another 7 in him.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Bryan, another challenge. You really want an 8. You don't want the 7.

(audience cheers as...) (Bryan rolls)

(audience groans) (buzz)

Oh, a 7. Anthony, you win $3000.

(ASB win cue plays; audience cheers)

(tacky buzzer)

And with that, you'll become our new champion...

...with $8300.

(longer ASB win cue plays; audience cheers)

Congratulations, Anthony. You have a chance to win tons more cash plus some great prizes in our main event.

Well, Bryan, it was a short stay -- but I think it was worth the trip. Before you go back to North Mississippi, you're going on a $2500 shopping spree at Gucci. You've also got movie tickets, a DVD set and $11,900 in cold hard cash.

(audience cheers)

Safe travels back to North Mississippi, Bryan Law.

(more cheers)

Well, Anthony, the spotlight's on you. You have a chance at a car, more goodies and a big cash jackpot. The main event is next on Lucky Numbers.

Welcome back to Lucky Numbers. Anthony Long came a long way from South Carolina to play our game. And he already has $8300.

That money is yours to keep -- but pales in comparison to what's at stake in our main event. Here's how it works.

In the main games, we attached cash awards to most of the lucky numbers. But here in the main event, we attach to all our lucky numbers 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)

There they are. Rolls of 6 and 8 in any combination will give you the bronze medal. Roll a 5 and 9 and you collect the silver medal. And to capture the gold medal, the hardest to collect, you'll need rolls of 4 and 10.

Now, let's cover them back up.

Anthony, when you put together a particular medal, you may trade that medal in for a prize. The two prizes that went unclaimed from the last show are back in play today.

I can tell you right now if you can put together the gold medal, you win a SmartCar valued at $22,550.

(audience woos and cheers)

Put the silver medal together and you pick up another $5000 cash.

(more woos and cheers)

(prize music plays)

And, Bill, please tell us about the new prize at stake for the bronze.

Bill: Thanks, Doug. Anthony, put the bronze medal together -- and you'll receive the Jibo Robot Voice Command Smart Assistant and Speaker. Jibo has advanced facial and voice recognition technology -- which allows him to interact with 16 different people and help him create personalized experiences with them. This prize is valued at $700.

So far, the main event is valued at $28,250.

(audience cheers)

Thanks, Bill. Anthony, there's the reason Bill said *so far* the main event is worth 28-thou-plus. Not only could you win all three of those prizes, you could also win our progressive cash jackpot. If you collect all three medals, you'll have all three prizes *plus* that jackpot currently worth...

(drum beats; cha-ching)

(audience cheers)

....$62,500!

Some final notes. Each 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'll win no less than $90,750 in cash and merchandise.

(audience cheers)

Last and certainly least, 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 $8300 you won in the match.

Think you can win it all, Anthony?

---

(NOTE FROM DOUG: Due to my previously announced time off, which is noted in the net game vacation section, the main event may run really slow on this end. Anthony's playing "against the house" as opposed to another player. So we can afford to be relaxed on deadlines.)

[Deleted]

I can hope so.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Perhaps you gain confidence as you roll.

Please take the dice. Good luck and go get some medals.

(audience cheers as...) (Anthony rolls)

(chimes; audience cheers)

Well that certainly helps.

(drum beats; cha-ching)

Quickly, the pot is up to $67,500. Anthony, you may turn this roll of 3 into any lucky number you see on the board -- and snatch its half medal in the process.

Which number would you like?

(audience shouts suggestions)

[Deleted]

4 please.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Halfway to that car already.

(reveal sfx)

One lucky number down, five to go. Roll again, please.

(audience cheers as...) (Anthony rolls)

(danger zone cue; lights briefly flicker in certain parts of studio) (audience groans)

Uh oh.

Anthony, quickly, you're in the danger zone. Next roll of 7 means you lose all portions of medals and any prizes.

So, here's what I'll offer. I'll let you stop the main event right now and trade in that half medal for $1000 cash. That would give you $9300 for the day.

Or -- you may continue to roll. (audience shouts suggestions) Remember, if you decide to play on, you must continue to roll the dice until you put together both halves of a particular medal.

You'll need a 10 in any combination to put together the gold medal for the car -- and you could stop the game then. Just know the next roll of 7 means game over and a loss.

What do you want to do?

(audience still shouting suggestions)

[Deleted]

I am going for it.

[dougmorrisontheair]

He's gonna go!

(audience cheers)

Good luck, Anthony. Avoid that 7.

(audience cheers as...) (Anthony rolls)

(scattered woahs)

Yeah. *Just* avoided danger again. The 6 gives you half the bronze medal.

(reveal sfx)

An 8 gets you the robot and a chance to stop. But roll again, please.

(audience cheers as...) (Anthony rolls)

Got a 4. You already half that first half of the gold. When that happens...

(drum beats; cha-ching)

...we add $2500 to the pot. So an even $70,000 jackpot to shoot for. Roll again, please.

(audience cheers as...) (Anthony rolls)

A 5. Well, that completes the first half of everything.

(reveal sfx)

Now you need the last half of everything to win the whole enchilada. Roll 'em again, please.

(audience cheers as...) (Anthony rolls)

Five again. Another $2500 for the pot.

(drum beats; cha-ching)

$72,500 now. Keep on rollin', Anthony, please.

(audience cheers as...) (Anthony rolls)

There's another 6 roll. $2500 more.


(drum beats; cha-ching)

$75,000 now. Still need rolls of 8, 9 and 10 to win it all. One of those rolls will let you stop. Please roll again.

(audience cheers as...) (Anthony rolls)

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

Darn.

You lose those halves of medals. You don't win anything here from the main event, Anthony.

[Deleted]

I tried.

[dougmorrisontheair]

You gave it a great try. All you lost was $1000. Let's take a break and tell you where you go from here -- on Lucky Numbers.

(commercial cue plays; audience applauds)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Adding commercial break just to keep thread active.)

[dougmorrisontheair]

Anthony Long, today you won a lot of cash $8300.

(audience cheers)

If you win your next match, you'll return to the main event. The robot, Smart Car and $5000 cash award that went unclaimed today will be at stake tomorrow.

If you can win them, you'll also win the jackpot which stands at $75,000.

Also remember if you win five straight matches, you play the all cash main event for possibly $1,000,000 or more.

(more cheers)

Until next time, when Anthony and his next opponent test their luck with the numbers, this is Doug Morris saying -- make it a great day, keep the faith and treasure your loved ones.


(closing theme plays; audience applause)
