This is going to be a special episode of Punch Card, since it's the holiday season, and we are in a giving mood. We need two celebrity players, and when you sign up, tell us what charity you'll be playing for so we can credit you with the correct one. For every dollar you win on the show, we will match it and double your gift to the charity you selected. We'll get started as soon as our two celebrity guests sign in.

And now, it's on! (Punch Card Theme) GEORGE GRAY: Today, these two contestants are going after the dough, and a chance to go for even more prizes, such as a trip and even a car, plus donations to their favorite charities! Find out who it is, as we play a special holiday edition of Punch Card!
And now, here's your host, Erin Harris!ERIN HARRIS: Thank you, George Gray, and welcome to Punch Card, where we're in the giving spirit this holiday season!
With us today are our two players, Anthony Long and Sergio Rodriguez, and they each have a charity that they'd like to play for. And let me remind you that for each dollar that they win today, we will donate the same amount to the charities that they chose. Before the show, our two players had a chance to select their charity; Anthony is playing for Mobile Meals, and Sergio has chosen the Salvation Army. Good luck to you, and I hope you win lots of money for your charities. So now, if you're ready, let's play Round 1!(round intro cue)  As always, we start out with a nine-hole punch card, filled with money amounts from $10 to $90. Anthony, as you signed up first, you will start the game. What three holes do you want?(Please select three numbers from 1 to 9.) |

…$70 to start with.ding! Your second selection was 2, and how much more will you get?
$40, and your total is $110.ding! What about your last selection, 4?
That's worth $30, and you have $140 as your total for now.ding!  Now it's Sergio's turn to find out how much he got. Let's start with your first selection, 1.
That one's worth $60, so another strong start.ding! Next up is 7; let's see how much is in there.
It's $90, so you have $150, surpassing Anthony after two punches.ding! Now how much is your last selection, 9, worth?
$20, so your grand total for the moment is $170.ding!  Folks, this is going to be one of the most competitive games we've ever played, with Sergio holding a $170-$140 edge over Anthony. Now let's get into our second round, with 16 holes, and money ranging from $25 to $400.(round intro cue)  This time, you will pick first, Sergio.

ERIN: And Anthony's picks are 3, 6, 9 and 12, so we'll start with Sergio, whose first selection was 16. That one is worth...
…$300, making it $470.ding! Next up is 8; how much is that worth?
$25, and that gives you $495.ding! Third selection is 7, and you will add...
…$225 to your total, making it $720.ding! And finally, let's see what you get from 1.
You will get $350, for a grand total of $1,070.ding!  Now let's check Anthony's punches. First up is 3, and you get...
…$325, taking you up to $465.ding! Second selection was 6; what are you going to add to that?
It looks like $400, making it $865.ding! Third, you picked 9; let's see how much you will get.
It's $275, so you have $1,140.ding! And how about your last selection, 12?
$375, so you have $1,515 at the moment.ding!  (Punch Card Theme) And after two rounds, Anthony leads Sergio, $1,515 to $1,070. But remember, we're going to double their winnings on this Holiday Charity Special. More after this.

(Sergio: Anthony already picked 21, so you'll need another number to replace it.) ERIN: I like that method a lot! So 1, 5, 13, 19 and 25 are all yours. Now the money in this round ranges from $50 to $1,250, so let's start with Anthony and see how he did. First, you selected 6, and that is worth...
…$450, making your total $1,965.ding! Second, you picked 24, and what do you get from that?
You get $250, so now you have $2,215.ding! Your third selection was 12; let's see how much is there.
It's another $700, so you go up to $2,915.ding! Then you selected 7, and how much more is that worth?
$550, and you now have $3,465.ding! And your last selection, 21, will give you...
…$800, for a grand total of $4,265.ding!  |

(You only needed 19, and we will take your original selections of 1, 5, 13 and 25, since they were already locked in.) ERIN: Now let's see how well Sergio did, with $1,070 to build on. Your first selection was 1, and how much will you get from that?
It's $650, so you now have $1,720.ding! Next up is 5, and from that, we will add...
…$1,150 to the pile, making it $2,870.ding! Now let's see how much more you get from your third selection, 13.
Another $750 coming your way, and it's $3,620 you now have.ding! Your fourth selection, 19, is coming up, and how much more will that be worth?
It'll be just $50, so you have $3,670.ding! And let's hope for something big in your last selection, 25. What is it?
$150, so your grand total for the moment is $3,820.ding!  (Punch Card Theme) So at the moment, Anthony is in the lead with $4,265, versus Sergio's $3,820. We'll play our final round to settle it all, after this. |

Anthony is on vacation, so I'll put this game on hold until after New Year's Day. He can respond as soon as soon as he returns.
