I think the names were a dead giveaway, but nevertheless, Sally Ride is correct! SALLY RIDE
VALENTINA TERESHKOVA
KALPANA CHAWLA(Audience Applause)Sally Ride made her first flight aboard the Challenger. The first woman in space was a Soviet astronaut, Valentina Tereshkova, who made her first flight in 1963. Kevin gets 3 spins and goes to 4, George gets 1 spin and goes to 4, and Michael gets a spin and goes to 2.  (Ding) (Ding) (Ding)Doing good so far. Let's move on to the next question.

It's a strange name, but nevertheless, she's the one who won that special prize in 1983. Lech Walesa is correct! LECH WALESA
DESMOND TUTU
MOTHER TERESA(Audience Applause)Lech Walesa won it for organizing the Solidarity movement. Desmond Tutu won it in 1984 for 'peaceful antiapartheid work'. Mother Teresa won that in 1979 for her work in Calcutta. Kevin goes to 5, George goes to 7, and Michael goes to 3.  (Ding) (Ding) (Ding)We're 3 for 3 for everyone getting spins. Now, here's the 4th and possibly final question for this round. If at least one of you is wrong on this question, we'll have the Big Spin Bonus question. Question 4: Now when it comes to yachts, they're usually used for pleasure, cruising and relaxation on the sunny skies around the world. However, every now and then, they can be used for racing.

Unfortunately at the time in 1983, U.S.A. didn't win the America's Cup, but Australia did! Everyone is right again! AUSTRALIA
GREAT BRITAIN
U.S.A.(Audience Applause)The America's Cup race started in 1851, when it was known as the Queen's Cup race. It was won by the schooner "America" and the cup became known as the America's cup. The Cup was always won by an American boat until 1983, when the "Australia II" defeated the American "Liberty". In 1995, the "Black Magic" from New Zealand won the race, but next year in 2024, New Zealand will be challenged by Great Britain to win that cup. (Play Question Round 1 Bumper Cue at 5:20) And that brings us to the end of a Perfect Question Round in Round 1 as...  (Ding) (Ding) (Ding)Kevin has 6 spins, George has 10 spins and Michael has 4 spins, and our players are going to be heading to the Big Board and turn those spins into Big Bucks, and boy, we've got some GOOD stuff up there on the board, but the Whammies have got something to say about that. We'll have all the action coming up right after these words, so don't go away! (Audience Cheers and Applause) |

(Play Big Board Round 1 Intro Bumper Cue at 6:26) (Audience Cheers and Applause) (Play Big Board Spinning Loop at 10:25) DK: Welcome back to our 40th Anniversary Special on Press Your Luck 2023, and this is our first round Big Board, and let me tell you something; we've got some GREAT stuff up there on the board. In fact, we've got over $80,000 in cash and prizes! Take a look at the board!    As you can see, we've upgraded our board with new prizes, new cash slides, but the Big Bucks square, the directional spaces, and of course, the Whammies, haven't changed. But players, tonight, have we got a special TREAT for you since Halloween is right around the corner. George, tell them about it! George: Players, we've had this challenge from "Whammy! The All-New Press Your Luck" from 2002, hosted by Todd Newton, who was dressed as the Grim Reaper at the Halloween Special, and they failed to complete that challenge. Now, it's your turn. If you are able to get the "TRICK" card in this round, and then get the "TREAT" card in the final round, avoid the Whammy AND win the game, you'll win a special bonus: A trip to Dracula's Castle in Transylvania! (Audience Cheers and Applause)You and a guest will fly round-trip from Los Angeles to Brașov, Transylvania in Romania for a 6-night stay at the Brătescu Mansion, just a 10-minute walk towards Dracula's Castle. Here, you will have a tour of castles and surrounding areas. The tour will begin from the meeting point located in central Brasov. You will be driven in comfort to the Peasants Citadel, a medieval fortress built from at a time when Teutonic chevaliers ruled the Brasov County. Enjoy a visit around the fortress and observation point, and discover it's history and legends, stopping to take in the wonderful views of Brasov Plateau and the surrounding mountains.
The journey will continue towards Bran Castle, also known as Dracula's Castle. Completed in 1388, the castle was built on a steep cliff between Măgura and Dealul Cetăţii, with an exceptional view of the nearby hills. Learn about this famous castle, especially the tales of Count Dracula as you walk the ancient halls.
Next, you will head to Sinaia, the former summer residence of the Romanian royal family. The one hour drive offers spectacular views of surrounding nature and wildlife. Then encounter Peles Castle, considered to be one of the most beautiful castles in Europe. Visit an architectural masterpiece, discover it's wonderful saloons and learn about the heritage.
On the route back, you can see the view of the Transylvanian Alps, the Bucegi Mountains, and the lively resort-towns of Busteni and Predeal.
Daily breakfast, transportation, the tour, and $500 dining credit are included! It's a great bonus worth $13,873!(Audience Cheers and Applause)DK: Thanks, George! Now players, remember, if you want to win that trip for this Halloween, you have to get the "TRICK" card in this round, and then get the "TREAT" card in the final round, AND you have to win the game without hitting that Whammy. And of course, we got some other great prizes, including the top cash prize of $10,000. And one more thing: The BIG BANK. As you know, whenever someone hits a Whammy, the Whammy will take all of the player's winnings and deposit it into the Big Bank. Usually in every game, we start off at $0. But since that this is our 40th Anniversary Special, we're going to start the Big Bank immediately off with...  BIG BANK: $40,000(Cha-Ching!)$40,000! (Audience Cheers and Applause)That's how we celebrate here on our 40th Anniversary Special! Now, you want to have the most money at the end of this round in order for you to have the advantage of going last into our final round. Also, 4 Whammies will knock you out of the game, so do remember that, and you can also pass your spins during your turn if you so desire. We got a LOT of spins to work with here, so let's get right into it by starting off with the player with the least amount of spins. Michael, the superfan of Michael Larson, you will be going first with 4 spins. Let's go to the board and get some Big Bucks! |
