That takes you to $49,576. Now, you have one more spin that you have to take, and unless you find something that gives you an additional spin on this one, this will be your last chance to go for the multi-million dollar payoff. Good luck to you, and let's take that last passed spin.

OH NO!! Stop at a Whammy!

(Audience Groans) (Whammy SFX)

(Doctor Whammy (1986) activated)





(Boing!)

OH. MY. GOODNESS! Nels, the Eye Doctor Whammy got you on the last passed spin. I don't believe it. Almost $50,000 in cash and prizes...taken away at the last second by the Whammy as he will deposit all of that into the Big Bank, giving it an unbelievable total of...

BIG BANK: $126,159
WHAMMY'S BANK: $846,795

(Cha-Ching!)

$126,159!

(Audience Cheers and Applause)



WOW! I told you that anything can happen here, and look at where we are now. Everyone now has 3 Whammies, meaning that we've now just reached Sudden Death Territory, which means that whoever hits that final Whammy will end the game and the person with the highest total at that point will become our winner.

Now Nels, we are at a VERY interesting situation here. You have that one spin in the earned column, and here's how important that spin is. Should you decide to take that spin yourself, you will need at least $8,815 in order to win the game, and unless you hit the "4 Spins" square at the top left corner, the multi-million dollar payoff will be officially out of play. Anything else short of that, and Immanuel will become our champion once again.

BUT! Here's where things get interesting; if you decide to pass that spin over to Immanuel, and if he hits a Whammy, he'll be out of the game, but you AND Matt will come back on our next episode.

So, with those options, Nels, what are you going to do? Are you going to Press Your Luck or are you going to Pass?

You're staying alive as you have $5,000 and picked up an extra spin, and now you are $3,815 away from winning the game, but if you want, you can pass that spin over to Immanuel in the hopes that he hits a Whammy.

What are you going to do now, Nels? Press Your Luck or Pass?

(Audience Cheers and Applause)

DK: We're back with tonight's big Press Your Luck winner, Immanuel Tims, with $8,815 in prizes. Well, we may not have given away the big money due to you-know-who, but you got out of that mess as the winner, and that's all that matters. Now listen closely to Rich Fields as he is going to tell you what you've won. Rich, hit it!



Rich: Well Immanuel, you may not have won any cash in this game, but at least you've won a Game Room!

And Immanuel, this prize package is worth...

$8,815

$8,815, but I know that you want more! Isn't that right, Dayo?

DK: You got that right, Rich! Immanuel, as Rich said, you didn't win any money in this game, but we're going to change all of that, courtesy of our Big Bad Bonus Board!







Now, as you can see, we have nothing but cold, hard cash up there. Over $400,000 in cash, but of course, those Whammies are up there as well.

You've been here before Immanuel, so you know how to play this game, but I'm going to explain how this works to the people at home who may not know.



We've cleared your score, and start you off clean with $0 and no Whammies. For winning the game under the $100,000 limit, you've been awarded 3 spins, and 1 additional spin for every $10,000 you've made.

However, since you've won $8,815, you're not going to get any extra spins this time around, but you can do some serious damage to the board as 1 spin could be worth as much as $100,000. After a cash amount has been hit, you have the option to stop and take the money or Press Your Luck. If a Whammy is hit, you'll lose all of your money up to that point, and you MUST play again. If a Whammy is hit on the last spin, or if you receive 4 Whammies, whichever comes first, you'll win nothing, but the $8,815 you've won from the Main Game is yours to keep, no matter what happens.

(Big Board Spinning)

Immanuel, if you're ready, the board is in motion. Stop it whenever you feel like it and good luck!

[babytims]

Let's do it! No whammies now...and STOP!

[dad90]

$25,000	$10,000		$100,000	Whammy	$10,000
Whammy	P	R	E	SS	$7500
$12,500	Y	O	U	R	$7500 + One Spin
$7500	L	U	C	K	$5000
$12,000	Whammy	$30,000 + One Spin	$7500	Advance 2 Spaces	$10,000

Stop at $7500!

(Audience Applause)



Now, you have a decision to make. You can Press Your Luck and add more money to your score, or you can take the $7,500 and quit now, because remember, if you hit a Whammy, not only you'll lose all of your money, but you'll be forced to spin again.

What are you going to do?

[babytims]

I'll press on! Come on board...be good to me now...STOP!

[dad90]

$22,500	$6500	$7500	$100,000		$10,000
Whammy	P	R	E	SS	Whammy
$12,500	Y	O	U	R	$10,000 + One Spin
$20,000	L	U	C	K	$5000
$10,000	Whammy	$20,000 + One Spin	$7500	$15,000	$12,500

Stop at $9000!

(Audience Applause)



You are now up to $16,500, and you have 1 spin left. You can take the money and quit right now, or you can Press Your Luck one more time and hopefully avoid the Whammy on that spin and take home whatever you hit plus the money you've accumulated at this point.

Press Your Luck or Pass?

[babytims]

Why not? Let's go again! STOP!!

[dad90]

$22,500	$10,000	$7500	$50,000	Whammy	$7000
	P	R	E	SS	$7500
$12,500	Y	O	U	R	$7500 + One Spin

$12,000	$17,500	$25,000 + One Spin	BIG BUCKS	$15,000	$12,500

Rats! Stop at a Whammy!

(Audience Groans) (Whammy SFX)



(Boing!)

DK: If there's any good news, at least that we're going to save you the humiliation of the Whammy. Well, it has become apparently clear that this was certainly a VERY good night for the Whammies as they have taken all of the cash away from our players tonight, but you Immanuel, at least you got the Game Room out of all of this mess and the win for this game, so Rich, what's Immanuel 2-night total, please?

Rich: Well Immanuel, sadly you didn't win any money from the Bonus Board tonight, but you've $8,815 in prizes from the Main Game, and we're going to combine that with the $105,500 in cash that you've won previously, and that gives you a grand total of...

$114,315

$114,315! Congratulations!

(Audience Cheers and Applause)



DK: Congratulations, Immanuel! You're now a two-time champion, and you're going to come back on our next show to defend your title against 2 more players, hopefully to win more cash and prizes against the Whammy, so we'll see you then.

As for Nels and Matt, what can I say? I told you that the Whammies would cause maximum destruction from the 2nd round, and boy, did they ever! Luckily, no one is leaving this show empty-handed. Matt, unfortunately, bad luck on those last 2 spins, but at least you're leaving us with $2,000.

(Audience Cheers and Applause)

Nels...you gave us a great game, and you had a fighting chance of winning it too, but the Whammy snuffed that out and knocked you out of the game, and as such, you're taking home the Whammy's consolation prize of $1,000, and both of you will also be leaving with nice parting gifts as well.

Well, that's it. That was our final show here at the fabulous CBS Television City in Hollywood, California, but don't worry. This is NOT the end of the series. Not by a long shot! We'll be back, but at a new location, and as such, I'm marking this as the end of Season 1 of Press Your Luck. Our second season will begin at our new location, so be sure to be on the lookout for that, and also a big farewell to Ash Ketchum, Pikachu and their friends of the Pokemon franchise. Hopefully, we'll see them again sometime in the future.

Unfortunately, I have a feeling that we will be seeing the Whammy and his friends again in the very near future too, because once again, they have proven that it's never over until they say it's over. As such, the Big Bank of $131,159 has been unclaimed, and as such, we're going to convert all of that into cash and put it into the Whammy's Bank...

WHAMMY'S BANK: $977,954

...and it will continue to grow until someone acquires the Silver Token needed to enter the Whammy's Bank Bonus Round and potentially win it all.

Now, one last thing before we go, and it's a few words of wisdom...

Be kind to yourself and forgive yourself. You can’t know what you haven’t yet learned, you can’t become proficient without first being a beginner and you can’t be perfect. Welcome to the human race.

Think about that. And as you do, this year will soon mark Press Your Luck turning 40 years old, and we'll certainly be there when that time comes.

With all of that said, we'll see you in Season 2! And until next time, when we see Immanuel go up against 2 new players on a quest to look for Big Bucks, this is The Dreaded Dayo Kayode saying "Thanks for Pressing Your Luck." Bye-bye!



(Audience Cheers and Applause)

Rich: A representative of the studio audience will receive....
