[suspenseful music]
- Oh, my God!
- OK. - Oh, my god.
- Let's make it happen, OK? - Thank you, Elizabeth.
- I am having a spiritual experience with you tonight.
- Oh, my God.
I love you, honey.
- Oh, my God.
- How are you feeling?
- I don't know.
- Oh, my God.
- You're a champion, Garrett. - What?
- No Whammy, no Whammy, no Whammy.
Stop!
[upbeat music]
- We haven't even started yet.
- Tonight, these three players
are after Big Bucks,
but they'll have to avoid the Whammy
as they play the most exciting game of their lives.
From the studios at Trilith Live,
it's time to press your luck.
And now, here's the host of "Press Your Luck,"
Elizabeth Banks.
- Hey! Hi, guys.
- Hi! Nice to see you! - Hello!
- Hello.
Hello, hello, hello, hello.
Welcome to "Press Your Luck,"
the greatest show on television.
Let's meet our three players.
♪ ♪
A college senior from Omaha, Nebraska,
please welcome Michael.
- Hello, everybody.
- A mom of two and speech therapist
from San Antonio, Texas, it's Aliah.
- Hi, Elizabeth.
- And an Army logistics veteran from St. Petersburg, Florida,
say hello to Leslie, everyone.
- Thank you. I'm super excited to be here.
- Good luck to all three of you tonight.
You are going to take on the big board.
It is loaded with cash and prizes.
Every time you stop the board like this,
stop, you add a little money to the bank just like that.
The player with the most cash and prizes
in their bank at the end of round two
gets to keep it and goes on to our bonus game
for a shot at $1 million.
- Wow.
- First things first. let's earn some spins.
I have three questions for this round.
Question 1.
In a recent poll by Talker Research,
70% of men said they'd be interested in a second date
with a woman who split the check on the first date.
Out of every three women surveyed,
how many said they would consider a second date--
[button chimes] Leslie?
- One. - With a check splitter.
Michael, is it one out of three?
Two out of three? Three out of three?
- I'm going to agree. I'ma to say one out of three.
- What do you think, Aliah?
- I'm going to also say one out of three.
- It is in fact just one out of three.
- There we go!
- Which means Michael picked up a spin.
Aliah picked up a spin.
And Leslie picked up three spins.
Better than dine-and-dasher.
- That's true. - Question 2.
It's preposterous, outrageous, implausible, and absurd
to think that this rapper has been
cranking out hits for more than a quarter century.
So tell me, who is the unbelievably talented
Grammy-winning hip-hop artist also known as Chris Bridges?
Leslie.
Oh, Leslie!
- Ludacris. [laughs]
- Michael.
Is it Ludacris, Nelly, Coolio?
- I'ma say Ludacris.
- What do you think, Aliah?
- I'ma go Luda.
- [laughs]
It is in fact Ludacris. You pulled it out.
So Michael picked up another spin.
Aliah picked another spin.
And Leslie picked up three more spins.
OK, last year, teachers and parents alike
had to suffer the consequences of their actions
any time they mention the numbers 6-7
in front of their kids.
But now that 6-7 is a thing of the past, thank you,
tell me, what is 6x7?
Michael. - 42.
- Aliah, is it 42, 48, or 69?
- 42. - Leslie.
- It's 42, Elizabeth.
- It's 42. Way to go.
Michael picked up three spins for a grand total of five.
Aliah's got a spin for a total of three.
And Leslie picked up another spin for a total of seven.
Now let's see how we can turn these spins
into cash and prizes,
because it's time to go to the big board.
Let's go. - Let's do it.
Whoo! - Whoo!
- Come on! Let's go!
- [indistinct]
♪ ♪
We've got thousands of dollars and some mind-blowing prizes
on our big board tonight, but beware of the Whammy.
[Whammy buzzer blares]
If you rack up four Whammies, you're out of the game.
All right, let's get to it.
We're going to start with the player
who has the fewest spins, and that's Aliah.
- All right!
I need a disposable camera. I need a jumpsuit.
And...
stop.
- Oh, Olive Garden breadsticks.
This is 12,000 Olive Garden breadsticks.
- Heck yeah. - 12,000.
- How much is it worth for the bank?
$7,790. - Oh, OK!
- What do you think? - I'm going to press my luck.
- Hit it.
- All right, I need Big Bucks.
No Whammies. Stay away.
And stop.
[Whammy buzzer blares] - Oh, no.
- It's OK. Take a deep breath.
- Houston, you have a problem. - [sighs]
- [cackles]
- Early on. - Uh-oh.
- It's OK, it's OK. - [yelps]
[squeals]
One giant leap for Whammykind!
[spring boings]
- Whammy, very jealous of Artemis II.
You have one spin left.
Do you want to press your luck with it?
- Of course I'm going to press my luck.
- Hit it.
- I need some cameras, something cool.
And stop.
OK. - $1,500.
All right. - Yeah, OK.
I'll take it. - Little money in the bank.
- I'll take it. Money in the bank.
- Michael, are you ready for your shot at the big board?
- Give it my best go. Let's do it.
- Let's do it. Press your luck, Michael.
- All right, here we go. I saw eye massager on there.
I don't know what that does, but I want it.
Come on, let's get the Big Bucks ready.
Stop.
- Ooh, eye massager. - I got it!
What does that do?
- These are super fun. I've used one of these before.
They're great. - No way.
- How much are they worth for the bank?
- [chuckling] Hey! - $2,700.
- I'll take it. I'll take it.
- All right, four more spins.
Press your luck with those spins or pass them?
- I want to keep pressing my luck.
Let's do it. - Here we go!
- Let's make it happen. No Whammies.
Ready, stop.
- $1,500 in the bank. - There we go. Yeah.
- OK, 4,200.
Three more spins. Press them or pass them?
- Sounds like a lot of people want me to press my luck.
- OK. - So we're going to do it.
All right, here we go.
I'd love to be a zookeeper for a day.
Steve Irwin, let's do it.
No Whammies. Here we go.
Stop.
- Oh! Zookeeper for a day.
- Let's go!
- This is an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour
of the San Diego Zoo. - [laughs]
- How much is it worth for Michael's bank?
$6,320. - Ooh!
- OK, you now have 10,520. You're in the lead.
Two more spins. How are you feeling?
- I'm going to pass my spins. - Whoo, he's done.
- I'm done. - He says, I'm gonna pass 'em.
- I like where I'm at. - Whenever you pass,
your spins go to the opponent with the most money,
so they're going to go to Aliah.
You were going to take them right now.
Here we go.
- All right! I don't want any Whammies.
Stay away. Give me some good Big Bucks.
And stop.
[Whammy buzzer blares] - It's a Whammy.
Ooh. - Oh, gosh.
It's OK. - Don't mind me!
- Shake it off, shake it off. - [humming]
- It's OK. Shake it off, shake it off.
- OK, take it away! - Shake it off. It's OK.
- [screams]
[clattering]
[spring boings]
- It's not the way you want to go.
- OK.
- That passed spin now moves over to the earned column.
- OK. - What do you think?
- I'm going to press my luck.
- She's going to press her luck.
- All right, Big Bucks.
And stop.
- $2,000, all right. - OK.
- All right, go for it, Leslie. - All right.
- Press your luck.
- All right. No Whammies, no Whammies.
Stop. - $1,700 and another spin.
You going to press those or pass those?
- I'm going to press my luck. - Go for it, Leslie.
- I really want that "Press Your Luck" tracksuit.
No Whammies, no Whammies.
Stop.
[Whammy buzzer blares] Ooh!
- Yikes.
- They're nasty. - [whistling]
- That's nasty.
- Oh, what a beautiful day to take your money.
What could possibly go wrong? [rumbling]
- Stampede!
- [screams]
[horn honks] [Whammy grunts and groans]
Is that a sloth riding a llama?
- He got what he deserved. - Yeah.
Six more spins.
- I'm going to press my luck, Elizabeth.
- Hit it. - No more Whammies.
No more Whammies.
Stop.
- Ooh, move two spaces, Big Bucks.
$5,000. - Yes, yes, yes.
- You are now in second place.
- Here we go. - Five more spins.
- Yes!
- Press your luck or pass those spins?
- I've got to press my luck, Elizabeth.
Yes! Anything but a pesky Whammy.
Stop. - 1,600 in the bank.
You still trail Michael by 3,920.
You can press your luck with those four spins.
Or you can pass them over to Michael.
- Michael, sharing is caring.
- It is. [laughs]
I'm gonna pass. - Oh, they're going to Michael.
Good luck, Michael. - Oh, here we go.
I do not want to lose that zookeeper day.
Big Bucks. Let's make it happen.
Ready, stop.
[Whammy buzzer blares] - It's a Whammy.
- [groans]
- [sniffling]
- Dead or alive, I can still take your money.
[cackling]
[dog barking]
- Oh, Michael. - Goldfish memory.
Goldfish memory. It's gone.
- The good news for you is those three spins
now are in the earned column.
How you feeling? - I'm going to press my luck.
- Good luck, Michael.
- Let's see if we can get those prizes back.
Here we go.
Ready, stop.
- Ooh, "Press Your Luck" tracksuit.
This is ten custom-made
"Press Your Luck" themed tracksuits.
How much are the tracksuits worth for Michael's bank?
- [laughs] Hey, there we go. - $2,290.
- There we go.
- Or as someone said, priceless.
OK, Michael, you're in second place.
- I'm trying to go for Leslie's lead,
so I'm going to press my luck.
- He's going to keep going.
- All right, here we go. No Whammies.
Ready, stop.
- $2,000. - There we go.
There we go. - One more spin.
Press it or pass it to Leslie?
- I'm going to press my luck. - Good luck.
- All right, let's take that lead.
No Whammies.
Ready, stop.
- Oh, 1,700. And you picked up a spin.
How you feeling now? - I'm going to press my luck.
- All right. He wants the lead.
- Oh, man. Big Bucks, let's make it happen.
Ready, stop.
- 1,750. - Yeah! Let's go.
- And there's that lead. - Come on.
- All right, that's the end of round one.
And Michael, you did just take the lead.
You got 7,740 in the bank.
Don't go anywhere
because this wild ride is just getting started.
"Press Your Luck" comes back right after this.
[upbeat music]
- Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
Before we jump into round two,
let's learn a little bit more about our contestants.
So Michael, you're from Omaha, Nebraska.
- Omaha, Nebraska. - Tell me about yourself.
- One thing I really love to do is fish.
- OK.
- I'm actually on the bass fishing team at college.
And I've been doing it for the last four years.
- Wait, you're on a college fishing team?
- Yeah. Right now, I'm out of a tiny little boat.
Like, all these other college kids have
the nicest boats I've seen.
It's like when I pull in, everyone's like, turning over--
they literally look at me, it's like rusted trailer,
- [laughs] Aw. - Small boat, tiny engine.
But like it may be the worst boat out of the 250,
but I don't get 250th place, so.
- Amazing. - Yeah.
- Now I understand you have your own pet fish.
- Yeah, so sitting at home right now
in my college basement in a 300-gallon tank,
I have a pet bass. His name's Gus.
He started as a little baby like this.
Now, he's about 400 pounds. So hopefully--
not 400, 4. [laughs]
- Nobody panic!
- But I'm hoping to upgrade his tank.
He's growing fast, so I need to upgrade his tank even faster.
So he got to keep growing. - All right.
Welcome, Michael.
I had no idea I could talk about fish this much.
Aliah from San Antonio, Texas, tell us about yourself.
Welcome. - Hey, Elizabeth, girl.
So down in Texas, I spend my time as a speech therapist.
- Great.
- I work with a very big variety
of different types of children
who just need to learn, like, their ways of speaking.
So it's a blessing being able to do that.
- I love that. - I love it so much.
- And you have kids yourself, right?
You're a mom of two? - Yes. I am a mom of two.
It's just fun to play with them all day, every day.
- So you're into playing games? - Yes.
- Well, welcome to "Press Your Luck."
Leslie is here from St. Petersburg, Florida.
- Hi, Elizabeth.
- Tell us about yourself, Leslie.
- I did 24 years in the Army.
[cheers and applause] Thank you.
- Thank you for your service. - Thank you.
My husband did 31 years. - Wow.
- And he-- yes, he's my first and my second husband.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, what?
You remarried your husband?
- Yes. We were divorced 13 years.
- Whoa! - So it was a long time.
But we made our way back. - Back to each other.
- And we kept the same wedding date.
There's too many numbers in my head already, so.
- Same anniversary. - Same anniversary.
- Second time around. - Second time around.
- Good luck tonight. - Thank you, thank you.
- Welcome to "Press Your Luck," all of you.
Let's jump back into the game, OK?
Question 1.
If Keke Palmer, Kim Kardashian, and Kiké Hernández
had breakfast together and they ate the cereal
with Sonny the Cuckoo Bird on the box, what cereal
would-- Aliah?
- Cocoa Puffs.
- What cereal would Keke, Kim K, and Kiké be cuckoo for?
Is it Cocoa Puffs, Cocoa Pebbles, Cocoa Krispies?
Michael? - I'm going to say Cocoa Puffs.
- What do you think, Leslie? - It's Cocoa Puffs.
- It is of course Cocoa Puffs!
So Michael picked up a spin, Aliah picked up three spins,
and Leslie picked up a spin.
Question 2.
Hi, hi, buddy. Can you see me? Cause I can see you.
Have you been good? Uh-huh.
Well, if you've ever received a video phone call like that,
you're probably a dog.
And as reported by "The New York Post,"
out of every five dog owners,
how many have had video phone calls with their dogs?
Leslie? - I would say three.
- Michael, is it three out of five, four out of five,
or two out of five?
- I'm going to say two out of five.
- What do you think, Aliah? - Two out of five.
- It is in fact three out of five.
Leslie's got it right.
Michael and Aliah, no spins for you,
but Leslie picked up three spins.
- Thank you. - All right, last question.
Last chance to pick up spins to take to the big board.
Here we go.
These can be places of interest or places of change
where you bring your own bread or your eggs,
which seems strange.
They can be offshore, central, or locally owned.
They wind along rivers. They can get you alone.
These places I speak of you now must proclaim.
I'll give you a clue, it's part of my name.
What are they?
Aliah? - Banks?
- Michael, is it banks, bucks, bets?
- I'ma say banks.
- What do you think, Leslie?
- It's banks, Elizabeth.
- It is banks, everybody.
Michael picked up a spin for a total of two.
Aliah picked up three spins for a total of six.
Leslie picked up a spin for a total of five.
Let's take these spins over to the big board.
Here we go. Whoo!
Oh, my gosh. These cards-- get rid of it.
Get rid of it. Get rid of it.
Whoo! Oh, careful, look out.
All right.
Well, it's round two,
so we're doubling the Big Bucks to $10,000.
- Whoo! - There we go.
- And let me introduce you to a new square
on the board, Big Banks.
You land on me, you win something
from my incredible list of personalized prizes
that I love and just want to share with all of you.
All right, whoever has the biggest bank after this round
gets to keep all their cash and prizes
and moves on to the bonus game
where they could win $1 million.
Aliah, you have the least amount of money,
so you are spinning first.
Press your luck. - Stay away, Whammies!
I want that trip to Italy for my mom.
And stop.
Oh! - It's a hovercraft.
It looks real cool. - Yeah!
- How much is the hovercraft worth for the bank?
$15,800. - OK!
- That hovercraft just gave you the lead.
- Let's go. - OK, first place, five spins.
Press or pass?
- I came here to press my luck.
Right, no Whammies, Stay away. - It's exciting.
- I'd like a pearl necklace.
OK, and stop.
[Whammy buzzer blares] - Oh, no.
Oh, no.
- Today only! Everything must go!
Including you!
Huh? [shouts]
Uh-oh!
[screaming] - No.
- Yeah, boo. Three Whammies.
As a reminder, if you get four Whammies,
you're out of this game. - Yes.
- Four spins.
Press your luck or pass the spins.
If you pass them, they'll go to Michael.
- I'm going to press my luck.
- Anything but a Whammy.
- All right, give me something cool, no Whammy.
And stop.
- It's the Big Banks.
- Oh, my God. [laughter and cheers]
- This means I get to show you
an amazing personalized prize that I picked out just for you.
- Show me, Elizabeth. Show me. - OK. What is it?
It's swimming with pigs in the Bahamas!
- That is so cute.
- OK, this is a seven-night trip.
Take a dip with the famous swimming pigs,
one of my all-time favorite trips, highly recommend.
And it's worth how much for the bank?
$32,843.
That's the Big Banks right there.
You have the lead.
Three more spins.
If you get a Whammy, it's over.
- I'm going to go ahead and pass my spins to her.
- She's going to pass the spins.
Michael, there they are.
Leslie is up next with her five spins.
And she'll take those spins as "Press Your Luck"
continues right after this.
[upbeat music]
- Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
Leslie's got $6,600 in the bank.
It's your turn with the big board.
Are you ready to press your luck?
- I'm ready, Elizabeth. - Take it away.
- Let's do this. Come on, come on.
I like the Jeep Wrangler.
Anything but a Whammy.
Stop. [Whammy buzzer blares]
- Oh, no. - Oh.
[buzzing]
- Splat. - [chuckles]
[fly chuckles]
Boo, boo, boo, boo.
- OK. All right, shake it off.
Four spins.
What do you think?
- I need to rise to the top. I'm going to press my luck.
- Good luck. - Yes, yes.
Let's go. Give me that trip to Italy.
Big Bucks. Give me the loot.
Stop. - $3,500.
OK, you're back on the board.
Three more spins. Press your luck or pass them?
- I'm going to press my luck, Elizabeth.
I'm going to press my luck.
I need to jump ahead of Aliah. Give me that Jeep Wrangler.
And stop.
- $6,000. - Whoo!
- And you picked up a spin. You're now in second place.
Three spins. How you feeling?
- I'm going to press my luck, Elizabeth.
- OK, she's gonna press her luck.
- Anything but a Whammy. Lord be with me.
Stop.
Ooh! - This is a big decision.
Which corner do you want to pick?
- Let's get that giraffe statue.
- The giraffe statue.
How much do we think the giraffe statue is worth?
Let's see it.
$5,500. - Yes.
- You've got $15,000 in the bank.
Two spins. How you feeling?
- I'm going to try one more time.
I'm going to press my luck, Elizabeth.
- Good luck.
- Come on. Anything but a Whammy.
Stop.
- 2,000. And you picked up another spin.
You still have two spins.
Do you want to press them or pass them?
- You know, I believe in spreading the wealth.
- Oh.
- So I'm going to pass those over to Aliah.
- Passing the spins. - I'll take them.
Aliah, if you hit the Whammy,
you are out of the game tonight.
- It is what it is. - Good luck.
- All right, no Whammies. Give me those Big Bucks.
And stop.
[Whammy buzzer blares]
- It's over. - [groans]
all: ♪ Four is a jolly good number ♪
♪ Four is a jolly good number ♪
- It's OK. Whoo.
It's OK. - ♪ Which nobody can deny ♪
- This was a great game. It was super fun.
- Except you! [laughter]
- The game is over for you tonight.
I'm so sorry.
Michael, you have three spins that you have to take.
You're going to take those right now.
- That was a lot to watch.
All right, here we go. We got some work to do.
We got three spins to get rid of.
Big Bucks, no Whammies.
Ready, stop.
- $5,000 and you picked up a spin.
- Here we go.
- All right, keep pressing your luck.
- Let's do it. Here we go.
Let's get that Jeep. Make it happen.
Ready, stop.
- Oh, no!
- [shouts]
I'm up, I'm up, I'm up!
[screams]
- On the boat. On the boat too.
Come on.
- I mean, I don't know if you still like fishing, but--
- Man, not anymore. [chuckles]
- That passed spin now moves over to the earned column.
So now you can do with them whatever you like.
- I mean, I gotta press my luck.
I got to get on the board somehow.
- OK, he's going to get on the board.
- All right, here we go. We gotta get on the board.
I'd love a Jeep Rubicon.
Here we go. No Whammies.
Ready, stop.
[shouting] - It's a Jeep Wrangler.
He won the car.
- No way! No way!
- You won a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.
- Dude! - I guarantee that
that Jeep Wrangler Rubicon can pull your boat.
- Dude. Oh, my God.
- Show Michael how much it's worth.
- Oh! What? - $57,030.
- Oh, my--
- You are now in the lead by more than $40,000.
Three spins, press your luck or pass them to Leslie?
- I'm going to pass my spins.
- Gonna pass the spins.
All right, Leslie, you need $40,000 to catch Michael.
- All right. - Good luck.
- Let's do it. Give me that money.
Give me double my money.
Stop.
- $3,333.
Two more spins, she's gotta take them.
Good luck.
- All right, come on, let's do it.
Double my money. Anything but a Whammy.
Stop.
- $2,000. OK.
It all comes down to this, everybody.
Anything less than $34,000, Michael's the winner tonight.
- Yes, yes.
- Good luck, Leslie. Good luck, Michael.
- All right, come on.
Anything but a Whammy.
Double my money plus one. Double my money.
Stop. - $5,000 and a spin.
Oh, now it's a decision.
- Wow.
- All right, you've got $27,333 in the bank.
You can hold on to that spin and press your luck.
Or you can pass that spin to Michael.
- I'm going to pass it to Michael.
- She's going to pass it.
- Oh, my.
- This game is crazy.
Michael... - Oh, man.
- You got to beat the Whammy one more time.
- One more time. - Good luck, Michael.
Good luck, Leslie. - Come on, Michael.
- Oh, please, anything but a Whammy!
Literally anything but a Whammy is all I ask for.
Please, please bless me.
Anything but a Whammy.
Here we go.
Ready, stop.
- Move two spaces. 3,500. - Yes!
- Michael is the winner. - Thank you. Thank you.
- Michael, you just won cash and prizes totaling $60,530
including a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.
And that is yours to keep no matter what.
You are moving on to the bonus game.
- Thank you.
- I'm so sorry, Aliah and Leslie.
We really appreciate you being on "Press Your Luck."
- It was so much fun.
- But stick around, because the bonus game is coming up next.
Michael's going to play for cash
and prizes of up to $1 million.
Keep it right here.
I don't know why you would ever change the channel.
- [laughs] Crazy.
[upbeat music]
- Wow.
[upbeat music]
- Let's go, let's go!
- Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
So far tonight, Michael has won cash and prizes
totaling $60,530,
which includes a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.
That is all yours to keep no matter what.
But now, it's just you versus the big board.
And tonight, you could go home a millionaire.
- Let's go.
Oh, my God. - How are you feeling?
That was a crazy end to that front game.
- My heart won't stop beating.
It's just like-- surreal experience.
And I'm so thankful to be here. And I just can't believe it.
- [laughs] - I can't believe it.
- I see something up here. Now what might that be?
- So this is Gus, technically.
- OK.
- So Gus became a little bit internet famous
over the last five years. - Yeah.
- So I grew him and I documented his full journey
from a baby bass to a big bass.
And he amassed such a big following
that I actually started a company called Gus Outdoor Co,
where we sell Gus merch.
And I actually brought this one here.
It's the first one we've ever made.
And I'm going to be giving it to you.
- What? This is for me?
- Yes, that is yours.
- Thank you. I will treasure Gus.
- Of course.
- And we're going to have Gus
up here with us tonight watching you win.
And I know you didn't just bring Gus tonight.
You brought some actual supporters with you as well.
- I did. Some real ones.
- Introduce me to these guys.
- So right here is my dad.
This is Jerry. - Hi, Jerry.
- Hi. - Welcome.
- Right in the middle, this is my oldest brother, Justin.
- Hello. - Justin's here.
- And then right here on the end
is my other older brother, Nicholas.
- Hi, Nicholas. - Hello.
- OK, Michael, tell me about these guys.
- So my dad got me fishing. He's taken me everywhere.
He's been to every basketball game.
He is always in my corner and it means the world to me.
My dad got me into fishing.
But Nicholas really pushed me to the next level.
He inspired me.
I wouldn't be where I'm at without these three right here.
- Wow, guys.
Dad, how proud are you of this kid and all your boys?
- I'm so proud of you, Michael. He is just a joy to be around.
And I'm so thankful that I get a chance to witness this
and experience this with him.
- Oh, we're going to have a lot of fun tonight.
And Justin, I understand
he's coming to live with you after college.
- Yeah. Actually, me and my wife have been
fully converting our garage
into a 400-square foot studio and bedroom.
And we're going to put a 300 gallon tank.
- In there. - Into that place for Michael.
- For this guy. - Yeah, that's right.
- OK, well, good luck to all of you tonight.
OK, you are going to face off
against the Whammy over five rounds.
At the end of each round,
you can take whatever money you've made,
cash, prizes, you can walk away,
or press your luck and play on.
The longer you stay in the game,
the bigger the money gets on the board.
If you make it to our final round,
the Big Bucks Bonanza,
one spin could be worth $100,000.
- [chuckles]
- As a reminder, and we really saw it tonight already,
that Whammy is out there.
- It is. - OK?
You hit one, he takes that money.
All that cash, prizes,
brings your bank right back down to zero.
Four Whammies takes you out of the game.
If your bank in the bonus round ever reaches $500,000,
the game ends immediately
and we automatically bump your total winnings to $1 million.
- Oh, let's go.
- Could be yours tonight.
In the first round, the Big Bucks are worth $10,000.
There they are.
But you know there's always more than just cash
up on our big board.
There's always personalized prizes for our contestants.
Michael, let's see your first one.
Baked beans. - [laughs] No way.
- This is Bush's Original Baked Beans for life.
- For life! - For life.
- OK. - Oh, yeah.
- Do you eat a lot of beans?
- Oh, dude, a ton.
So I think right now,
my diet in college is baked beans and DoorDash.
- Wow.

It's rods and bait. - Dude! Yes!

- Yes, yes.
- This is 24 St. Croix fishing rods
and an assortment of handmade glide baits.
- Glide baits in, like, the bass fishing area,
that's like the bait to throw.
The most expensive bait, too.
Oh, my gosh, that would set me up forever.
- Set you up forever. - Forever.
- OK, so rods and bait going up on the board.
There it goes, bang.
Let's get into the game.
You're starting off the first round with five spins.

[laughs] - OK.
- Moron.
- Aw. - Yeah, yeah, Whammy.
Michael, I'm sorry.
You finished that round with $0.
- Yeah. - And a Whammy.
But the good news is in round two,
we increase the Big Bucks to $25,000.
- That is a lot.
- And not only that, we're going to add
another personalized prize to the board.
- Oh, my goodness.
- It's Gus's new home. - Gus!
- No way.
- This is a custom 1,000-gallon home aquarium
equipped with all the bells and whistles.
And we're also throwing in ten professional cleanings
to keep it in pristine condition
in your brother's beautiful home.
- That is amazing. Oh, my God.
- How many gallons is the current tank?
- 300. And it's over 6' long already.
- Does Gus need 1,000 gallons? Like, what's going on with Gus?
- With that more space, he can grow to, like,
his ultimate length, like, get him as fat as possible.
And that has been my goal from the beginning, so.
- We gonna let Gus grow. - He's gotta grow.
- All right, let's put that
1,000-gallon tank up on the board.
Michael, you're going to play for Gus's new home
and the Big Bucks now worth $25,000
when "Press Your Luck" comes back right after this.
Don't miss it.
[upbeat music]
- Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
It's round two of the bonus game.
Michael has $0 in the bank. That Whammy came to get it.
Big Bucks are now worth $25,000.
Michael, you have four spins in this round, four chances.
- Yep. - Come on.

Here we go. We want to move on to the next round.
Here we go. I see Lose a Whammy.

[groans]
Oh, man. How about some spaghetti?
- OK, we're going to reset. - Reset.
- Right? - Got it.
- We're going to reset. We're going to shake it off.
We're going to start picturing Gus
swimming in his 1,000 gallon tank.
That's what I want you to imagine.
- Yes.
- I see it. - Put it in your mind.
- I see it. - Put it into this button.
And make it happen on this board.

You've got a decision to make because that's a lot of cash.
You can walk away right now

What do you think? What's your decision?
- I think you go.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Come on, Mike!
- I think I can't say no to my dad,
so I'm going to press my luck.
- He's going to press his luck. I love it.
- Come on. - Let's go.
- That means it's time to add
another personalized prize to the board.
- Oh, man.
- It's summer in Alaska. - Dude, that is crazy. Yes.
- This is a trip for your entire family
to discover the best of Alaska
on a 17-night RV expedition. - Ooh.
- You'll take a wildlife safari
to witness coastal brown bears in their natural habitats.
At the end of your trip, you are taking a scenic train ride
to Seward, where you will fish for salmon and halibut
on a private fishing charter.
- Dude.
- Wow. - That is unreal.
- Is this the trip of your dreams?
- Trip of my dreams.
- Good fishing? - Oh, the best.
- [laughs] - Like, the best, the best.
- All right, well, we got bears and fishing
and glaciers in Alaska for you and your whole family.
That's the summer trip.
Put it up on the board for Michael.
All right, the Big Bucks are now worth $50,000.
You have three spins to take.
Go win it all.
- Let's do it. - Just get it.
Just get that trip to Alaska.
- Whoo, all right, let's go to Alaska!
We want to see some bears.
Here we go. Let's make it happen.
No Whammies.
Ready, stop.

We've also got all these incredible prizes up there.

But we are going to show Whammy who's boss.
- Let's do it. - That's right.
- OK, Michael? - Yep.

- I hope so.
- That's what you needed.
You need-- you need a-- need a little fishy kissy.
OK?
You're special. You deserve it.
Go win it. Let's take it away.

- Here we go. No more Whammies.
Let's go. Let's get that trip.
Let's make it happen. Let's lose the Whammy.
Ready, stop.
- 4,444 bucks. - I'm alive. I'm alive.
- You're alive! - I'm alive.
- Come on. - All right, one spin.
Take it away. - Trip to Alaska. Come on.

- You got it.
- Rods and bait, let's make it happen.
Here we go.
Ready, stop.
- $4,000. - Whoo! Whoo.
- Whoo! All right!
Guys, 8,444 bucks.
That's nothing to sneeze at. - Oh, not at all.
- You have a big decision to make.
You have three Whammies here. - Mm-hmm.
- Another Whammy, and the game's over.
- Right. - That's it. Whammy wins.
So you can walk away right now with $8,444.
Or you can stay and play in round 4
where the big bucks jump up to $75,000.
- Hey.
- If you decide to stay and play,
I do have another personalized prize to add to that board.
- That's all you had to say.
I'm staying right here. - Oh, he's gonna stay!
- I'm going to stay! - Let's go.
[upbeat music]
- I'm so glad you decided to stay and play.
Think you're really going to like this prize.
- Oh, jeez. - OK, let's take a look.
- Yo! - It's a bass boat.
- Oh, my God. Whoo!
- This is a 20-foot Skeeter bass boat
custom-wrapped with your logo.
- Dude.
- You can have Gus.
- On the boat! - On the side of the boat.
- Oh, my God.
- Like I said earlier, my boat right now kind of sucks.
It has a lot of issues, like most boats do.
This would honestly give me the opportunity
where I could go and possibly
try to fish professionally and start
fishing those tournaments. - Yes.
- So this would change my whole future.
- Amazing.
Well, you're going to need to get it places, though.
Right? - Yeah.
- So we got to have a way to tow the boat and the people.
So let's put what up on the board?
- Oh, my God. - A truck.
- Oh, please, please.
- Come on, buddy. - It's a Dodge Ram.
- Please. Oh, my God.
- It's a brand-new truck.
- So right now, my truck is
sitting in my dad's driveway leaking oil.
- It is. It is. It is. - Oh, my gosh. No way. A truck.
That is my dream truck.
I can't believe you guys are giving me the opportunity.
This is crazy. - Amazing.
OK, well, we've got this incredible Ram up there.
We've got the Jeep Rubicon. That's two trucks.
But you got one, two, three people.
- Yeah.
- So I think we got to have a second truck.
- Dude, oh, my God.
Dude!
- I mean, you want them to be able to follow you
on your dream path. - Let's make that happen.
- Right? - Yes.
My brother, he's actually needing a car right now.
He is completely carless.
He's actually about to head out to Wyoming
to start his own job.
So if I could bless him and my family with a truck--
- New truck.
- Like, it would mean the world to him.
But it also means much more to me.
- It would be a great blessing.
Let's put the bass boat and not one,
but two trucks up on the big board.
- Wow.
- Whew! We only have to take three spins in this round.
- Wow. - This is your night.
Win it all. Good luck, Michael.
- Let's do it. Here we go.
I want that bass boat, that bass boat,
that truck, that lose a Whammy.
Here we go. Big Bucks.
- Come on. - Let's make it happen.
Three spins for destiny.
Come on.
Ready, stop.
- $5,000. OK. - Nice.
- It's OK. - I like it.
- [indistinct] - $13,444.
Two more times. - That easy.
- Just win again.
- Oh, man. I'm losing my voice.
Here we go.
Bass boat. Come on, two trucks, bass boat.
Two trucks, bass boat, two trucks.
- Bass boat, two trucks! - Ready, stop.
- No!
No. - Over.
- Oh.
- Sorry. - It's OK.
It's the game.
- That is your fourth Whammy,
which means the game is over for you tonight.
But the good news is you are still going home a winner.
Chris, remind everyone what Michael's taking home tonight.
- It's still a great night, Michael,
'cause you're going home with a brand-new
Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. - [cheers]
That's pretty awesome.
- And we got some gas money for you.
$3,500 in cash. - There it is.
- There we go.
- Brings your grand total to $60,530.
- That's still pretty awesome.
- That's pretty awesome. - That's pretty awesome.
- [laughs] Oh, thank you all for watching.
We'll see you next time right here on "Press Your Luck."
We got fish.
[upbeat music]
- Man. - It's so nice.
I'm so sorry it didn't work out, guys.
- It's OK. - Oh, Dad, I'm so sorry.
So fun. - Dang. [indistinct]
- Oh, he did amazing. You must be very proud.
- Hey, good job. - It was scary.
[indistinct]
- Oh, I'm so glad for you.
I love fly fishing, by the way. Have fun doing that.
- Oh, really? - Yeah.
- That is the craziest thing I've ever done.
That is unbelievable.
I will not forget it. I will never forget it.
