All right, then. Michael, before I reveal your total, I have some more exciting news for you. Since you won the Lot, you now qualify to play Super $ale. That means, that means, the next time we have a Lot winner, we will bring you back for a cumulative two-game match for that Lot winner's cash jackpot. If you win, you get to do it the next time we have a Lot winner. You can keep winning, and winning, and winning! Isn't that just fantastic? (audience cheers) Now, let's add everything up. You have $923,100 in cash; plus the Aston Martin, plus the trips, and all the other prizes you've won..... Michael, you are, as of right now, the biggest winner $ale of the Century has ever had anywhere in the world. In addition, you are now the 10th biggest winner on an American game show. Your grand total, in cash and prizes.... GRAND TOTAL:       $1,232,988! (big win cue starts playing again)(the balloons and confetti start falling as the models bring out flowers, champagne, etc.) And here comes a big bouquet of flowers, some bubbly, all kinds of good things, all for you. Where's my non-alcoholic cider? (Stacey brings out a bottle, I hold it up) This is mine, folks! Any last words, Michael? |
