Lucky Numbers (ABC; Episode 39)

[asja2002]

i'll roll again

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as...) (Steve rolls)

Rolls a 6 this time.

Steve, our team's concluded 6 is your only move -- so we'll take that.

(ding)

You get the first letter in the first word in the process -- an R. And 6 joins the 4 among unlucky rolls.

Steve, guess for $1200, roll again, or pass the dice to Rick?

[asja2002]

I’ll roll again

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay, good luck.

(audience cheers as...) (Steve rolls)

(audience groans)

(buzz)

Oh, darn -- first unlucky roll of the game -- another 6. Sorry about that.

Kyle, this means you're back in business...

...before you make any move, we reveal the highest remaining number on the board.

(ding)

The 12 gives us another C

Kyle, 4 and 6 are still unlucky. Guess for $1100, roll again, or pass the dice to Steve?

[lordbanana]

I'm gonna risk it and roll.

[dougmorrisontheair]

All righty.

(audience cheers as...) (Rick rolls)

(audience groans)

(buzz)

Ohh my. The more unlikely of the unlucky rolls and that happened.

Turnabout does make for fair play, though.

Steve, you're back in the game -- as we reveal the highest remaining number of 11.

(ding)

The 11 gives us the letter R.

Steve, 4 and 6 remain unlucky. Guess for $1000, roll again, or pass the dice back to Kyle?

[asja2002]

I’ll Try it…

ROCK
CONCERTS

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ASB win cue plays; audience applause)

Correct.

Steve, you're on the board with $1000. (chimes; audience cheers) And that sound means you have a chance to add more with this follow-up question.

It's the $750 question -- which means two possible answers. Choose the right answer and you bank the 750. Pick the wrong answer -- and you obviously leave the right answer for Kyle, who banks the 750 by default.

So, lead hangs in the balance on this question for Steve...

The members of REO Speedwagon recently announced they would stop touring by January 1, 2015. Is the band's lead singer Kevin Cronin; yes or no?

[asja2002]

Yes, he is the lead singer

[dougmorrisontheair]

Indeed he is.

(audience cheers)

With that right answer -- (tacky buzzer) -- you have the lead, Steve, at the intermission. That's what the buzzer means.

Round 2 starts after a break. Stakes increase. We still have a $1000 question. With a close game, anything can happen. Find out who's going to the main event -- when you come back to the dice table.

(commercial cue plays; audience applauds)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(HR87 theme plays)

Bill: Today's runner-up will receive, from Yamaha, the new PSR-28 with 49 full-sized keys, 100 exciting instrument sounds, chord sequencer, and keyboard percussion.

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)

(talking to stagehand) One IG live viewer? Just one? And it was -- oh, hi there.

(audience laughs)

Uhhh -- welcome back to Lucky Numbers. It's time to get back to business with Round 2.

Steve leads 1750 to 1300. Kyle, in this round, puzzles start at $2000 each -- and we have a $1000 follow-up question. So a lot of money can be won.

Players, the next time we hear this -- (tacky buzzer) -- that means the game ends and the leading player heads for the main event to try and win a lot of cash and more.

Kyle, you're trailing. So you'll start this next puzzle.

(chime sfx)

A ten-letter word. And roll those dice, please.

(audience cheers as...) (Kyle rolls)

Starting with a 5. How do you play the 5?

[lordbanana]

I’ll just go with 2 and 3.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

Starting with an M and a A. Look ma. (scattered laughter from crowd)

Kyle, oddly enough, 2 and 3 are unlucky rolls.

You may guess for $1800, roll again, or pass the dice to Steve.

[lordbanana]

I'll roll again.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as...) (Kyle rolls)

(scattered woahs)

Woah is right -- but you're still in business with a 4.

Thing is, Kyle, 4 is the only option. So we'll play that for you.

(ding)

L enters the fray. Kyle, would you know, the 4 join the 3 and 2 among unlucky rolls.

You may guess for $1700, roll again, or pass the dice to Steve.

[lordbanana]

Well, odds are still in my favor, so I’ll roll again.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay. Steve's hoping you get a 2, 3, or 4.

(audience cheers as...) (Kyle rolls)

Well -- in this case, 3 and 4 make 7. You're still in business.

More than one way to play this roll, Kyle.

[lordbanana]

1 and 6.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

An I and a T -- and more unlucky rolls -- 11, 6, 4, 3, and 2.

Kyle, you may guess for $1500, roll again, or pass the dice to Steve.

[lordbanana]

I’ll try one more roll.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Rolling with a widening danger zone.

(audience cheers as...) (Kyle rolls)

(buzz)

(audience groans)

Ohhh -- went to the well one time too many. Sorry about that, Kyle.

Steve, you're back in this.

First, we reveal the highest remaining number of 10.

(ding)

The 10 gives us an N. Steve, the 10 joins the 11, 6, 4, 3, and 2 among unlucky rolls.

you may guess for $1500, roll again, or pass the dice back to Kyle.

[asja2002]

I’ll solve

MALEFICENT

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ASB win cue plays; audience applause)

That's right.

Steve, you're padding your lead -- (chimes; audience cheers) -- and -- here's a chance to pad it further.

This is the last of our follow-up questions. It's the biggie for $1000.

Steve, answer it correctly and you bank the grand. Miss it -- and Kyle has a chance to capitalize.

So, Steve, for $1000...

In Disney's 1959 film "Sleeping Beauty", name Maleficent's raven.

[asja2002]

Diablo

[dougmorrisontheair]

That little devil -- Diablo -- is right.


(audience cheers)

Kyle, you're going to have to get into a hurry up offense to catch up.

Here comes the next puzzle.

(chime sfx)

And we've got an ampersand with this puzzle. Keep that in mind when attempting to solve. Kyle, please roll.

(audience cheers as...) (Kyle rolls)

Starting with a 7. How do you play it?

[lordbanana]

3 and 4.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

M and R -- and a 4 is unlucky.

Kyle, guess for 1800, roll again, or pass the dice?

[lordbanana]

Roll again.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as...) (Kyle rolls)

Niner.  More than one way to play the 9.
