On A Roll (CBS Daytime; Episode 30)

[Twentington]

3 in the middle, 4 on the bottom, please.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Paige touches screen)

Splitting the move for an S...

(Paige touches screen)

...and a D. Evan, you may guess either unsolved clue -- or roll the bones again. We have two rolls remaining in the round.

[Twentington]

Windy City.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(dings; audience applause)

Judge took that as a guess of the bottom row's clue -- and ruled you correct as such, Evan.

Well, Evan, you now have two clues -- plus portions of the middle clue -- and another chance to solve this puzzle to win the match.

---

[NOTE FROM DOUG: A wrong or bypassed guess means the rest of the game is in play-or-pass mode. At least one roll outside of doubles cannot be played.]

[Twentington]

I hope it's the CHICAGO CUBS.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

For the game -- and the match -- is it the Chicago Cubs?














































(dings; SCSD win theme plays; audience cheers)

We have a new champions.

Evan, we can now say your earlier guess of Harry Caray was in the ballpark. (scattered laughter and groans) In any event, just for giggles, anyone want to guess the middle clue?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(some in audience shout, "Baseball game")

No, not baseball game. Evan, Lenny, want to guess for funzies?

[Twentington]

Baseball *team*?

[dougmorrisontheair]

That would make sense.

(FF reveal sfx)

And that's right. The Chicago Cubs are based in the Windy City. They certainly play their home games at Wrigley Field. And that baseball team flew a big W back in 2016. That's when the Cubbies won the World Series.

Evan won *this* series and this game in a blitz. Lenny, sorry about that -- but how can we feel bad for someone who's taking home $387,400?

(audience cheers)

Two big bonus wins in Big 6 and Lucky 7 are things we won't forget Lenny.

You didn't get a word in edgewise. So, anything you'd like to say as the championship crown passes from you to Evan?

[redrangerdude]

Wow. You snatched that crown from my hands, but you did well. Good luck, Evan.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered laughter from crowd as Korrina places dice near Evan's dice)

He kids because he cares. Seriously, folks, Lenny's being a good sport. And, Lenny, you did extremely well. One more nice hand for Lenny Jackson.

(audience cheers)

(Korrina and Evan walk hand-in-hand off stage)

All right, Evan, if he can win more than $300,000 over a stretch of two bonus games, who's to say you can't?

For winning the match, it's time for the money roll. This is for tens of thousands of dollars -- and determines the most you can win in Big 6.

Doubles are allowed here. Throw boxcars -- and we're going for $120,000.

(audience cheers)

Lenny got a yo-leven twice on money rolls. So hobo's delight at midnight is not beyond the realm of possiblity. Good luck -- and let's see some huge numbers.

(audience cheers as...) (... Evan rolls)

(cha-ching) (scattered cheers)

Well -- a 2 and a 3 for $50,000. Good money. Could get much better when we get to Lucky 7.

But first -- Big 6 with Wally -- after this.

(theme plays; audience cheers)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(theme plays)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Evan Hatfield is our newly crowned champion. So far, $86,215 in cash and car. Now you have a chance to play for more cash to cover tax, title, gas, oil changes, tire rotations and then some -- (scattered laughter from crowd) -- with Wally!

(audience cheers)

Wally, what's on your mind ahead of the weekend?

(FF reveal sfx) (scattered laughter and applause)

Even big game boards live check to check. Wally, may we have the numbers for Big 6, please.

(FF reveal sfx)

Thanks, Wally. Evan, as you know, the dice faces accordingly hide the letters that spell out your Big 6 word. Much like the main game, you're going to try to uncover as many letters in the Big 6 word as you possibly can. Wally's going to give you a hint about the word. Wally, may we have that hint, please?

(ding)

Fictional character.  So the word we're dealing with *is* a proper noun.

Now, much like the main games, you get four rolls of the dice. What's different here is if you roll two different numbers, you may only take one of the two numbers you rolled -- and you can never play the sum.

So if you rolled a 2 and a 4, you could have Wally reveal the second letter or the fourth letter -- but not the sixth letter.

After your first roll, if you can correctly solve the Big 6 word, look straight into that camera and tell the free world how much *more* money you'll take from the Columbia Broadcasting System.

[Twentington]

FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS!

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding) (audience cheers)

Yes indeedy. If you need a second roll, the value of the Big 6 word drops to $10,000 -- and for each roll thereafter, we cut the potential winnings in half.

While you're on a roll in Big 6, anytime you throw doubles or two different numbers you've already played, that counts as a wasted roll and reduces your potential winnings accordingly.

(Korrina hands Evan dice)

You've got the rules, four rolls and the dice. Good luck, Evan. You -- are on a roll.

(audience cheers as...) (Evan rolls)

And you start off with a 4 and a 2.

Evan, would you like the second or fourth letter?

[Twentington]

Fourth letter, please.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Fourth letter, please, Wally.

(ding)

It's a G. Evan, one guess only for $50,000, who is this fictional character?

[Twentington]

SHAGGY?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered cheers)

Wally, for $50,000, is this fictional character named -- Shaggy?

(buzz) (audience groans)

Not Shaggy -- and "zoinks" from Wally. All right -- word's now worth $10,000. Good luck.

(audience cheers as...) (Evan rolls)

And it's a 4 and a 1 this time. You've already take the 4. So, let's take the 1.

(ding)

*Another* G. Evan, your guess, please, for ten large?

[Twentington]

Could it be GIDGET?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered cheers)

For $10,000, is this fictional character Gidget?

(buzz)

(audience groans)

No. Sorry. Down to $5000. Good luck on this next roll.

(audience cheers as...) (Evan rolls)

(audience groans) (buzz)

Ohhh. First doubles of the whole show.

Automatically cuts the value down to $2500 with one roll left. You don't want doubles. You don't want a roll of a 1 and a 4 again -- or else it's all over.

Let's make this last roll count.

(audience cheers as...) (Evan rolls)

Okay, this works. The 1 is already taken. The 2 you can play. So, let's see that second letter, please.

(ding)

An I. Evan, a correct answer here pays $2500. A wrong guess means a consolation prize of $1000.

Who is this fictional character?

[Twentington]

GINGER?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

For $2500, is this fictional character Ginger?

(dings; win theme plays; audience cheers)

There ya go. Indeed, we're looking for the movie star from "Gilligan's Island".

Another $2500. You could still win 100 times as much money in Lucky 7. Ready for that, Evan?

[Twentington]

Let's give it a go!

[dougmorrisontheair]

Wally, please bring on Lucky 7.

(FF reveal sfx)

Thanks, Wally. Evan, as you know, Wally will give you a certain number of chances to roll any sum of 7 on the dice. But before Wally sets the timer, we need to find out what you're playing for.

All you have to do is pick a letter in the word "lucky". For winning the match, that lucky pick could be worth as much as $250,000 in cash -- (audience cheers) -- *or* this really great vacay.

(trip cue plays) (director takes one shot of Evan -- then a zoom-in shot of the big screen in the audience area)

Tiffany: Oh, Evan, if you win this trip, send us selfies -- from Dubai.

(audience cheers)

You and a guest will fly round trip coach to Dubai, United Arab Emirates for a six-night stay at a fantastic hotel located near the IMG World of Adventure -- the largest indoor theme park in the world. We're also giving you and your guest six days' worth of admission to the park and an additional $10,000 in spending money -- to make this vacation worth $28,950.

(audience cheers)

Thanks, Tiffany. Evan, a wonderful holiday and cash are waiting to be won. Please pick a letter in "lucky" -- and let's see if a trip could be in your future.

[Twentington]

For no reason whatsoever, let's try the C.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Letter C, for the heck of it, please, Wally.

(cha-ching)

(audience cheers)

Great coin -- $64,000. The $64,000 question now is...


(alarm goes off)

...how many rolls of the dice will you get to win that cash? Let's find out -- as Wally sets the shutdown timer for...

...just three rolls.

Remember, Evan, when you don't roll doubles, you win the sum's value in hundreds of dollars. Doubles are worse here. Any roll of doubles is worthless *and* automatically shuts down the game.

Ready to get back on a roll?

[Twentington]

Let's go!

[dougmorrisontheair]

He's rarin' to go. Evan, you're back on a roll.

(audience cheers as...) (Evan rolls)

Starting off with a 6 and a 4.

(ding)

$1000 with two rolls to go.

(Evan rolls)

(scattered groans)

Woah -- close. That cube *almost* turned up on the 5. Got a 4 instead with the 2.

(ding)

$1600 with one more roll. Think you can get a lucky roll of 7 this last time?

[Twentington]

I hope so!
