$ALE [NBC]: Clearance $ale Day 5 [Episode 75]

[palmer7]

But wait, wait, Stacey... I promised everyone $75,000 in cash. Where's the 75-grand?

[asja2002]

Stacey: shoot. I almost forgot..Where did i put it.... Wait I might have something here.....(Chirps the truck latch button, and flips #4 again) It's in the trunk of the car!

The car AND $75000 in CASH!!!  All told, a package worth $110,755!!

[palmer7]

Well, nobody's got it. Guess we'll just have to give the car and cash away as a door prize. (audience cheers) And why shouldn't we give it away? It's Disney's money, they're not going to miss it.

And whatever money Disney loses, NBC can get back. Like this.

[BGM MUSIC]

J.C., with a score of $65, you're not going to play for the car, but you might win the Lot. We'll get to you in a moment.

Bill, you laid back for a good part of the game, but managed to come out with $55. We'll make that $500 in cash, plus we have some parting gifts for you. Thank you so much for playing. Bill McDee, everyone!

Doug, you certainly didn't lose. We're glad this was a profitable visit for you. You've got an autographed picture with Ryan Reynolds, a Deadpool cosplay kit, a piano, and $17,542 in cash. That gives you a total of...

$23,608 in cash and prizes. (audience cheers) Anything you'd like to say before you go?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Heck of a time, Greg. Congrats to you and your team on 75 great episodes. May 75 more follow.

[billmcdee]

Congrats to J.C. and congrats on 75 episodes of $ale Greg!  Was a most enjoyable experience.

Very kind words, thank you very much. And now, J.C. Hines will join me as he plays 10-in-a-Row and the Winners' Board. Let's go shopping!

(J.C. passes by his opponents, congratulating them; the doors open, and we walk through right to the 10-in-a-Row area)

Congratulations, J.C. Boy, you took us for everything, didn't you? I think you've got over $100,000 in just the main game alone. Your thoughts, sir?

[jch20088]

I’m just blessed. I was expecting to hopefully walk away with a small prize, but never in my wildest dreams did I think would actually win the game with a ton of money. And I’ve never been to Hawaii, so I’m really looking forward to it.

[palmer7]

But before you get to go to Hawaii, we're going to make a detour here at 10-in-a-Row. We're going to get right to it. Are you ready?

(standby for a PM)

[jch20088]

I’m ready. Let’s do it.

[palmer7]

OK, then. Dim the lights, please. (the lights are dimmed, leaving a spotlight on J.C. and me)

Good luck to you, J.C. Audience, please be quiet. All the best, we hope you take us for a lot. Your 10-in-a-Row starts.... now!

PERSONAL CASH JACKPOT:

Boy, those were tough. I'm sorry, J.C. You do have a P-C-J of $500,000. That will be yours to play for in a matter of moments. Now, come right over here. (we walk over to the Winners' Board) Since you didn't score over $100, the car is not up there. However, we do have $50,000 in cash, the cruise around the world is there, the IKEA shopping spree, Zoltar, all kinds of good things. Should you can find "WIN!", "THE!", "LOT!" in that *exact* order, you will win the Lot, which includes everything here in the showroom -- which includes the car, your Personal Cash Jackpot, and this!

(cash jackpot fanfare as the sign lowers)

Burton: (VO) A cash bonus of one MILLION dollars!

(audience cheers)

Greg: And that is worth a lot of money. Good luck, J.C. Take a few deep breaths, get that concentration going, and pick a few numbers to get us started.

[jch20088]

Ok, let’s go with 12, 3, and 13

[palmer7]

12 first. (Stacey turns over 12)

(ding)

Stacey: The IKEA shopping spree worth $20,000.



Greg: Then, #3. (Stacey turns over 3)

(ding)

Stacey: Ooh, the around the world cruise.



Greg: 13 is next. (Stacey turns over 13)

(ding)

Stacey: The day spa worth $10,000.


Greg: Great prizes so far, but no matches yet. Keep picking.

[jch20088]

I’m going for the cruise. I will try 9, and then 5.

[palmer7]

I don't blame you, I'd try for the cruise, too. What's behind #9, Stace? (Stacey turns over #9)

(ding)

Stacey: Zoltar!

Greg: Maybe a chance to become Tom Hanks. Or a kid, whichever you prefer. #5 is next. (Stacey turns over #5)

(ding)

Stacey: The home theater package.

Greg: Oh, that's a good one, too. You've uncovered all five main prizes, but no matches yet. Keep going.

[jch20088]

6 and 1

[palmer7]

#6. (Stacey turns over #6)

(ding)
(audience groans)

Stacey: There was the 50K, love

Greg: Well, so much for that. #1. (Stacey turns over #1)

[WIN!]
(audience cheers)

Stacey: WIN!

(drumroll)

Greg: It all comes down to this. The next prize you match is yours. If you find "THE!", you'll be one step closer to winning the Lot. Pick another number.

[jch20088]

14

[palmer7]

(Stacey turns over #14)

[THE!]
(audience gasps even louder)


Stacey: The! Oooh, you're one away.


Greg: Stacey's right. The next thing you find will be a definite match. If you find another "WIN!", we'll all be very disappointed. However, if your next pick is "LOT!", you will have won $1.5 million in cash, all the prizes we've seen, and the car. So.... for over $2,000,000...... pick that number that's hiding "LOT!".

[jch20088]

Number 10?

[palmer7]

If #10 has "LOT!", you will win everything, the Lot. Stacey, #10....







































(Stacey turns over #10)

YOU'VE WON THE LOT!

[WIN THE LOT CUE, BELLS RINGING, SIRENS WAIL, LOUD CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
(balloons and confetti drop from the ceiling and the entire audience is celebrating; whoever J.C. brought rushes up on stage)




You've won the Lot! He's won the Lot! The rest of the board, please!

And there was everything. J.C., you've just picked up your Lot. You've got the $20,000 shopping spree at IKEA, the day spa, Zoltar, the home theater, you're going on a cruise around the world, you've got $200,000 to spend on a custom Mustang, and over $1.5 million in cash. Your lot is worth $1,928,035! Your thoughts, sir? Also, who'd you bring with you?

[jch20088]

(Breathes in deeply) Sorry, I’m just overwhelmed, I’m blessed, and I can’t believe I won the lot. I am in total shock at the moment.

This is my best friend, my parents, and my two sisters. I’m pretty sure they’re as shocked as I am right now.

[palmer7]

All right, let's see all the prizes you've won here. You've got the trip to Hawaii, $1,000 in swimwear, Zoltar, the day spa, the IKEA shopping spree, the home theatre, you're going on a world cruise, you've got the car, and $1,588,263 in cold cash. Your grand total, J.C., is a whopping...

GRAND TOTAL:

$2,035,796 in cash and prizes! (audience cheers loudly, and J.C. is presented with a bouquet of flowers) And here comes the ginger ale. We can't serve alcohol anymore, we're owned by Disney now. (chatter) Right, Ryan Reynolds is saving the hard stuff for after the show. Well, this episode is going to be somewhat extended because we've got another lot to give away. The Fame Game Shootout is right after this!

Greg: If you're wondering why we're still on, it's because we've got another Lot to give away. Tonight, Dateline will be shortened by five minutes so we can bring you this special event. J.C. just won the Lot, but now we've got another Lot. We've brought back our four other winners from this week, and all four of them will each take their turn at the Fame Game board. It's quite simple. They'll each stop the board, and whoever has the highest number wins their lot.

We'll start with our Monday winner, James Greek. He's got $46,220 in cash and prizes including Zoltar; and his P-C-J is $505,000. Let's start the lights flashing.

(lights in motion)

And James, good luck to you. Fire when ready. (a letter from A-I, please)

It all comes down to Nels Snesrud. $71,900 in cash and prizes including the day spa. Nels, if you can get a 9, you'll win all the bonus prizes you haven't won, plus your $1,000,000 P-C-J and a $1,000,000 bonus. Otherwise, Marc wins the lot. Good luck and fire when ready.
