Lucky Numbers (ABC; Episode 35)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(buzz)

That's not it. We're back to Mark. Highest remaining number of 8 gives us...

(ding)

...and R.

Mark, the only rolls that work are 4, 6 and 10. Should you decide to roll or pass the dice, if the nominated player rolls a 10, the roller automatically banks $1000. So think about that.

You may take a guess for $1200 if you'd like, roll, or pass back to Shederick.

[GameShowNetwork]

I'll try again. THE CORONER

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ASB win cue plays; audience applause)

That's it.

Mark, you double your score to $2400. (chimes; audience cheers) Now you have a chance to add $1000. This is our last follow-up question in the game.

Mark, if you answer it correctly, we add the grand to your bank. Miss it -- and Shederick has a chance to capitalize.

So, Mark, for $1000 more...

Name the actress who played Dr. Jenny Cooper on the TV series "Coroner".

[GameShowNetwork]

Serinda Swan?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Good guess, that's right.

(audience cheers)

Mark with a big lead. Shederick, there *is* time for at least one more puzzle.


(chime sfx)

There it is -- and it's a nine-letter puzzle this time. Shederick, please roll 'em.

(audience cheers as...) (Shederick rolls)

And it's a 7. How do you play the 7?

[djshadowwolf420]

7

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

It's an I.

Shederick, guess for 1900 or roll again?

[djshadowwolf420]

Roll again

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as...) (Shederick rolls)

And the roll is a yo-leven. How do you play the 11?

[djshadowwolf420]

8 and 3

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

L and H. All rolls playable.

Shederick, guess for $1700 or roll again?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Bump for Shederick)

[djshadowwolf420]

Roll again

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as...) (Shederick rolls)

And the roll is a 5 -- more than one way to play it.

[djshadowwolf420]

5

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

There's an E -- and all the rolls still work.

Shederick, take a guess for $1600 or roll again?

[djshadowwolf420]

Roll

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as...) (Shederick rolls)

There's an 8.

I think the only way to go is 6 and 2. Is that correct?

(inaudible affirmative reaction from S&P and judge)

(ding)

Okay. We're good. That was the only move. The 6 and 2 give us an F and an A.

Shederick, danger zone's open in a big way. So the only rolls that work are 4, 5, 9 and 10.

Take a guess for $1400, pass to Mark, or roll again?

[djshadowwolf420]

Guess, Life Coach

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ASB win cue plays; audience applause)

That's it. (tacky buzzer) But as we add $1400 to Shederick's coffers...

(scattered groans)

...you're *just* short. Mark, you're heading back to the main event.

(ASB win cue plays; audience applause)

Shederick, we hope you had fun on the show. In addition to the $3050, we do have fine gifts for making a great game of Lucky Numbers. A big hand for Shederick, everyone.

(audience cheers)

Mark, you've taken us for about $100,000 in prizes in previous main events. After the break, you'll have a chance to clean house for much more. Meet us back here at the dice table for the main event here on Lucky Numbers.

(commercial cue plays; audience applauds)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ASB cue plays; audience applauds)

Welcome back to Lucky Numbers. Mark, with the latest win in the main game, you're up to...

...$204,418 in cash and merchandise...

(audience cheers)

...with a chance to win much more in this next main event.

These are the medals you're trying to collect. We've split 'em in half. We now cover them...

(chime sfx)

...with these lucky numbers. You must roll the *combinations* seen up there to snatch the respective half medals.

(prize music)

Each time you put together both halves of a particular medal, you may trade it in for a prize or a chance to play for more money.  Bill Kennedy, please tell us what's waiting to be won in today's main event.

Bill: My pleasure, Doug. First, Mark, you know Monopoly's on ABC starring the one and only Tony Lane. Collect both halves of the bronze medal and the world's most popular board game will come home to you -- in this sterling silver version.


(audience cheers)

This deluxe Monopoly game comes complete with pewter tokens, ball-cornered dice with leather dice cups, leather-bound bank boxes, and much more. Furnished by Geoffrey Parker Games, this prize is valued at $11,850.

(audience cheers)

Next for the silver medal, it's our special game of Cash Card -- where a lucky roll and a lucky draw could net you $40,000 in cash.

(audience cheers)

Finally, Mark, you look like you could use a vacation. So for the gold medal, get ready to escape to paradise -- in Jamaica.

(audience cheers)

You and ten friends will have the times of your lives in Jamaica -- spending 12 nights at an all-inclusive resort. Go snorkeling, soak up the sun, and live it up in Jamaica. This trip of a lifetime is furnished by Club Universe and valued at $98,765.


So far, the potential value of the main event is $150,615.

(audience cheers)

Thanks, Bill. Mark, as you know, that's just scratching the surface. If you're fortunate to collect all three medals, you'll win the two great prizes, the chance to play Cash Card, *and* our cash jackpot of...

(drum beats; cha-ching)

(audience cheers)

...$225,000. Almost a quarter of a million dollars.

As you know, you can build up the jackpot during the main event.

Any roll of 2, 3, 11, or 12 is wild. That means we add $5000 to the pot -- and we give you the power to take any half medal. But when one lucky number remains, you must come up with a natural combination in a maximum of five attempts.

Anytime your roll leads to half a medal that you've already captured, we'll add $2500 and let you roll again.

However, any roll of 7 puts the main event...

(danger zone cue; lights briefly flicker in certain parts of studio)

...in the danger zone. That means any half medals you've collected will be at risk. The next roll of 7 means you end the main event with nothing. So at certain intervals I'll give you a chance to stop.

(Doug hands dice to Mark)

Clean house and you'll win no less than $335,615 in cash and merchandise.

(ooos from audience)

Ready to give this a try?

[GameShowNetwork]

I am ready, Doug

[dougmorrisontheair]

Then good luck and off you go.

(audience cheers as...) (Mark rolls)

Start with a 9.

(chime sfx)

Roll a 5 and you'll play the cash game for up to $40,000. Roll again, please.



(audience cheers as...) (Mark rolls)

(chimes; audience cheers)

Boxcars! Hello!

(drum beats; cha-ching)

Wild roll puts another $5000 in the kitty for $230,000 in total.

Now, Mark, you may call this wild roll of 12 a 5 and complete the silver medal -- or call it a 4, 6, 8, or 10 -- and go after half of another medal.

[GameShowNetwork]

5 for the silver please

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

Completing the silver for the Cash Card game.

So, as long as you don't lose that medal, you'll play the Cash Card game for a possible $40,000.

You're not in danger. So, let's keep rolling.

(audience cheers as...) (Mark rolls)

And the next roll's an 8.

(chime sfx)

That's half the bronze for the deluxe Monopoly game. A roll of a 6 or a nomination of 6 with the wild roll will get you that Monopoly game.

You're halfway to winning it all. Keep on rolling.

(audience cheers as...) (Mark rolls)

(more cheers)

A 4! Wow.



(chime sfx)

Half the gold medal for Jamaica. You're playing extremely well, Mark. Keep it going.

(audience cheers as...) (Mark rolls)

Another combination of 8. Now, whenever this happens...

(drum beats; cha-ching)

...we add $2500 to the jackpot -- and we let you roll the dice again.


(audience cheers as...) (Mark rolls)

(chimes; audience cheers)

Woah! Now you're cookin', Mark. The 3 is a wild roll.

(drum beats; cha-ching)

Okay, $237,500 jackpot. Now, here's the thing, Mark. You may choose the 10 to complete the gold medal or pick the 6 and complete the bronze medal.

Big thing to think about: The number you *don't* choose will be the only lucky number left. But then, you'll have up to five chances to roll that number naturally. Wild rolls would still had money to the pot -- but won't give you the win.

So -- what number are you picking now and what number are you leaving for the end?

(audience shouts suggestions)

[GameShowNetwork]

10

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

That's the way to play it.

(chime sfx)

Okay. We're down to the number 6 -- and you have five chances to roll it naturally.

A wild roll still adds $5000 to the pot -- but won't give you the win.

Any safe roll will still add $2500 to the pot.

Any roll of 7 -- and you've got something to think about.

Good luck, Mark.

(audience cheers as...) (Mark rolls)

(danger zone cue; lights briefly flicker in certain parts of studio)

Ohhhh dear.

What a time for this to happen -- danger zone.

Mark, it's decision time. You may stop the game right now and keep the medals, which would lead to the trip and the chance at $40,000 -- or you may play on.

If you decide to continue, you're committed until you exhaust the four remaining rolls; roll a 6, which would give you the whole enchilada; or roll a 7 -- which would forfeit the whole enchilada.

Big decision -- what do you do? Stop -- or roll?

(audience shouts suggestions)

[GameShowNetwork]

As tempting as it is to try and risk it, I do want a crack at that mini game, so I am going to stop right now

[dougmorrisontheair]

Stopping here.

(audience cheers)

Which means, pending the result of the Cash Card game, I think you've cracked the 300 large barrier.

(audience cheers)

Yes indeed. $303,183 in cash and merchandise.

However -- you know us, Mark. We are Steve Osunsami types of folks who adhere to the belief your right to know overrides your right to exists.

(scattered laughter from crowd)

If you decided to play on, what would've happened? This and further rolls won't count.

































(audience cheers as...) (Mark rolls)

(loud groans from crowd)

Oh -- my -- goodness.

You would've won the whole enchilada.

Ohhh kayyy. Let's take a break, give our deck of cards a really good shuffle and hope like the dickens Mark's roll comes up aces for $40,000.

Cash Card is coming up next on Lucky Numbers.

(commercial cue plays; audience applauds)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ASB cue plays; audience applauds)

Welcome back to Lucky Numbers. Mark Liotta has won more than $303,000 in cash and merchandise.

It -- could've been a lot more. But you have a chance to win $40,000 in our game of Cash Card.

Mark, during the break, we had you cut a deck of 52 playing cards. That deck's right here in front of me. We'll be seeing the first six cards from the top of the deck -- but only of them will be the cash card.

If the determined cash card is a face card or 10, you'll win $10,000.

(audience cheers)

If the cash card is valued lower than 10, you'll win the card's value in thousands of dollars. So a 2 of spades would become $2000. A 9 of clubs would become $9000.

But if the cash card is one of the four aces in the deck, you win today's top payoff of $40,000.

(audience cheers)

You'll determine the cash card with one roll of just one of the dice, Mark. So which of the dice would you like to roll -- the left or the right?
