Lucky Numbers (ABC; Episode 31)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

Starting with an S and an R -- and the danger zone's opening up. The roll of a 4 is unlucky.

Kourtney, you may guess for $1300, roll again, or pass the dice to George.

[pathfinder20]

I will roll again.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay, just avoid that 4.

(audience cheers as...) (Kourtney rolls)

Got a 9 instead. How do you play the 9?

[pathfinder20]

Let’s go 7 and 2.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

An A and an M join the fray.

Kourtney, rolls of 2, 4, and 7 are now unlucky.

You may guess for $1100, roll again, or pass to George.

[pathfinder20]

Let’s roll again.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as...) (Kourtney rolls)

And *just* avoid danger with the 6.

Kourtney, the only way to play the roll is to take the 6. So we'll do that now.

(ding)

And an E pops up.

Kourtney, as you might expect, the 6 joints the 2, 4, and 7 among unlucky rolls.

You may guess for $1000, roll again, or pass to George.

[pathfinder20]

I am going to guess: SIERRA MADRE?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ASB win cue plays; audience applause)

There ya go.

Kourtney, you're on the board with a grand. (chimes; audience cheers) And you have a chance to win more on this follow-up question.

This is worth $750 and has two possible answers. If you answer correctly, you'll take the lead. If you miss, you'll obviously leave the right answer for George -- who'll move further into the lead.

So pivotal question here. Kourtney, for $750...

The Sierra Madre is the name of a fictional casino/resort in the Fallout video game series. Which of these is also the official name of a fictional casino/resort in the Fallout series: Is the Golden 21 or the Lucky 38?

[pathfinder20]

I am going to say Lucky 38.

[dougmorrisontheair]

And that's right.

(audience cheers)

(tacky buzzer)

Sound means we're out of time for Round 1. By the way, there's a *Vault* 21 casino in Fallout -- but no Golden 21.

We'll up the ante in Round 2 -- and find out who's going to the main event when Lucky Numbers continues after this.

(commercial cue plays; audience applauds)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(HR87 theme plays)

Bill: Today's runner-up will receive a $500 gift card to Kinney Shoes. Choose from a selection of boots, sandals and fashion footwear. Kinney Shoes -- the great American shoe store.

And a generous supply of Creamettes -- the quick cooking macaroni. Cooks up tender without sticking together. Look for Creamettes -- in the famous green box.

Bill: If you'd like to be a contestant on Lucky Numbers -- and you're going to be in the Los Angeles area -- please call 1-800-55-LUCKY between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific Time. We'll be back with more of Lucky Numbers -- after this.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ASB cue plays; audience applauds)

We're back with more of Lucky Numbers. Before we start Round 2, let's check the scores.

Kourtney just took the lead before we went to break with 1750. George still has 1400.

In this round, puzzles start at $2000. And we still have a $1000 follow-up question. So anything can still happen.

The next time we hear that tacky buzzer, the game is over. The leader at that point wins the game and goes to the main event where hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and merchandise are waiting to be won.

George, since you're trailing, but not by much, you get to start this next puzzle.

(chime sfx)

And it's a two-word, nine-letter puzzle. George, the dice are yours.

(audience cheers as...) (George rolls)

Starting with the square pair. How do you play this 8?

[bighornbattle]

8 all by itself.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

I see the letter I there.

All the rolls work, George. But, as always, a wrong guess means your opponent gets control of the game.

You may guess for $1900 or roll again?

[bighornbattle]

Roll.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as...) (George rolls)

And you roll a 6 this time.

[bighornbattle]

6 by itself.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

And there's a G.

George, all rolls still work.

Guess for $1800 or roll the dice again?

[bighornbattle]

Roll please.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as...) (George rolls)

And it's another 6.

[bighornbattle]

1, 2, and the 3 please.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

Two Os and an L result

George, the danger zone opens up for the first time in Round 2. Rolls of 2, 3, 6, 8, and 10 are unlucky.

You may guess for $1500, roll again, or pass the dice to Kourtney.

[bighornbattle]

Solid Gold.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ASB win cue plays; audience applause)

Correct.

With that, George, you're back in the lead.

(chimes; audience cheers)

And here's a chance to vault further into the lead. George, this is the last of our follow-up questions and it's worth $1000. Answer correctly and the grand is yours. If you miss, Kourtney has a chance to capitalize and narrow the gap in score.

So, George, for $1000...

A short-lived spinoff of the TV series "Solid Gold", entitled "Solid Gold Hits", was hosted by this actor. He is best known for his work as a cast member of "Eight is Enough". Name this actor.

[bighornbattle]

Grant Goodeve.

[dougmorrisontheair]

That's it.

(audience cheers)

And you were anticipating a question about Soldier Boy. 

(scattered laughter from crowd)

$3900 for George. $1750 for Kourtney. Let's now race toward the main event. Kourtney, you start this next puzzle.

(chime sfx)

New nine-letter, two-word puzzle. Roll away, please, Kourtney.

(audience cheers as...) (Kourtney rolls)

Starting with a 6.

[pathfinder20]

Let’s start with the 6.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

And we start off with a T. All rolls work.

Kourtney, guess for $1900 or roll again?

[pathfinder20]

Let’s roll again.
