- Whoo-hoo!
I love "Press Your Luck."
Welcome to "Press Your Luck," the greatest
show on television.
I'm so excited.
Why would you change the channel?
You can't.
[yells]
Come on.
I don't know why you would watch
any other show on television, because this is the best one.
This game, we love.
I mean-- Love it.
I love it.
Come on.
It's the best show on TV.
- 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.
- Hi, guys.
[cheers and applause]
- Welcome to "Press Your Luck," where it takes
bold hearts to win Big Bucks.
Let's meet our three players.
[cheers and applause]
A school bus driver from Chicago, Illinois.
Say hello to Dorothy.
- Happy to be here, Elizabeth.
- A stay-at-home supermom from Atlanta, Georgia.
It's Shereen.
- Hey, everybody.
- And a dad from Corvallis, Oregon.
Please welcome Eddie, everybody.
- Hi, Elizabeth.
- Good luck to all three of you.
Tonight you are taking on our Big Board.
It's loaded with cash and prizes.
And every time you stop the board like this-- stop--
you a little money in 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.
[cheers and applause]
All right.
Well, first things first, let's earn some spins.
I have three questions for this round.
Here we go.
Once upon a crime, there was a notorious repeat offender.
First, he went after three brothers,
destroying two of their homes and breaking into--
[buzzer rings] Dorothy.
- The Big Bad Wolf? First,
- He went after three brothers, destroying two of their homes
and breaking into the third.
His next victims were a young girl and her grandmother.
He ate them.
He's what big bad animal?
Dorothy rang in and said, Big Bad Wolf.
Shereen, is it Big Bad Wolf, Bear, or Fox?
- It's Big Bad Wolf. - What do you think, Eddie?
- It's wolf.
- It definitely is Big Bad Wolf.
And you knew it right away.
She picked up three spins.
Shereen picked up a spin, and Eddie picked up a spin.
Question 2.
When we think of milk, we might think of cookies or cereal.
Mmm, cookie cereal.
But the milk we drink isn't where most of the dairy
in our diet comes from.
According to a recent study by Talker Research,
on a weekly basis, what food is America's single largest
source of dairy?
[buzzer rings] Dorothy.
- Eggs.
- Shereen, is it eggs, cheese, yogurt?
- Cheese. - What do you think, Eddie?
- I'm also thinking cheese.
- It is cheese.
- Yeah. - I'm sorry, Dorothy.
No spins for Dorothy.
Shereen picked up a spin, and Eddie picked up a spin.
- Whoo! - Question 3.
This is the last question in this round.
According to the title of her 1987
billboard number one song, who did Whitney Houston
want to dance with?
[buzzer rings] Dorothy?
- Somebody.
- Is it somebody, Shereen, everybody, or nobody?
- It's somebody. - What do you think, Eddie?
- It's somebody. - It's somebody.
It is. Whoo-hoo!
- Whoo! [cheers and applause]
- Whoo!
Dorothy picked up three more spins for a total of six.
Shereen got a spin for three, and Eddie
got another spin for three.
Well, now we're going to go dance with the Big Board.
It's time to take it on.
Let's go.
Here we go to the Big Board.
[cheers and applause]
I got my kicking outfit on.
[upbeat music]
[exhales]
We've got thousands of dollars and mind-blowing prizes
on our Big Board tonight.
But beware of the Whammy.
[buzzer blares]
You rack up four Whammies, you're out of the game.
All right, let's get to it. Shereen.
- Come on, Shereen.
- Are you ready to press your luck?
- I'm ready to press my luck.
- Have fun, Shereen.
- I see so many cool things out there.
I really want that claw machine.
Come on, claw machine.
And stop!
- Oh, no.
- We're getting out of the way.
- And how does that make you feel?
- [sobbing]
- Here you go.
- It's just that they don't have any money.
[sobbing]
- Ah.
It's very emotional for all of us.
All right, Shereen. - I got the first one
out of the way, though.
- It's out of the way. Great attitude about it.
Two spins.
Press your luck.
Go for it.
- All right, Big Board.
Come on, Big Bucks.
No Whammies.
And stop!
- There you go, $1,500.
- That's good. - Right?
- Filling up the bank.
- Shereen, you have one more spin.
Would you like to press your luck
or pass that spin to an opponent?
I'm going to press my luck.
- Go for it, Shereen.
- Come on, Big Board.
I'd love to go to Montreal.
And stop!
OK.
- Ooh, double your money.
- There we go.
- $3,000 in the bank.
All right, Eddie, are you ready?
- I'm ready to press my luck, Elizabeth.
Let's go!
- Get after it, Eddie.
- Whoo!
Come on, give me that claw machine.
Big Bucks, no Whammies. Stop!
Yeah.
- $2,750.
Two more spins. - Let's go.
- Do you want to press your luck or pass your spins?
- I'm going to press my luck, Elizabeth!
Come on! - Love it.
- Let's go. Give me that Bigfoot trip.
Give me a million toothpicks.
Come on, Big Bucks, no Whammies.
Stop!
Yeah!
- Oh, it's a search for Bigfoot.
- Yeah.
- Nice.
- Oh.
- This is a professional tour guide leading you
on a search for Bigfoot through the forests
of Washington state.
- I love that.
That's so cool.
- And it's worth how much for the bank?
$4,829.
You're in first place. $7,579 in the bank.
One more spin.
Do you want to keep pressing your luck,
or do you want to pass that spin?
- OK, I don't want to risk
ending this round with no money.
So I'm going to pass it back to Shereen.
- Ooh.
And you're going to take it right now.
- All right, let's go. - Good luck.
- Come on, Big Board.
Gucci watches for mama.
And stop!
OK.
- $1,600.
- OK. That's good.
- $4,600, still in second place.
Dorothy, it is now your turn with the Big Board.
Are you ready to press your luck?
- I'm ready, Elizabeth.
- Get after it, Dorothy.
- Big Bucks, no Whammies, and stop!
- Ooh. And a 1.
Oh.
- It's not a Whammy.
- We add a 1, but there's no money in your bank.
So it's just $10.
More than you had a minute ago.
Five spins.
Press your luck?
- I'm going to press my luck!
- Yeah, she is.
- I see you, Montreal.
I see you, claw machine.
Big Bucks, no Whammies.
Stop! Ooh.
- $1,750.
- Way to go. - Four more spins.
Press them or pass them?
- I came here to press all my luck!
Let's go!
Press my luck!
- Let's go, Dorothy.
- No Whammies, Montreal!
Stop!
Ooh.
- $2,500.
- Good job, Dorothy. - Three more spins.
Press them or pass them to Eddie?
- I came to press my luck!
Come on, Montreal!
I've never been there!
Big Bucks, no Whammies!
Stop!
- Move two spaces.
It's a claw machine.
[cheers and applause]
- Yes!
- How much is the claw machine worth for Dorothy's bank?
$2,999. - Whoo!
Two more spins. - Yes.
- You want to keep pressing your luck,
or do you want to pass the spins to Eddie?
- I'm going to share this with my friend, Eddie.
- Thank you.
- You're going to pass them.
She wants to pass them right back.
Two spins. You got to take them.
Good luck. - Let's go.
Come on!
Big Bucks, no Whammies.
Stop!
Yeah.
- $1,875. One more.
- One more. Come on.
Come on, baby.
Give me those Gucci watches. Come on.
No Whammies. No Whammies.
Stop! Yeah!
- $1,500, and you picked up a spin.
You can do whatever you want with that spin.
- Dorothy, I appreciate the love.
I'm giving it back to you.
- Oh, he wants to give it back.
Dorothy, you got to take that spin.
Good luck.
- Come on, Montreal!
Big Bucks, no Whammies.
Stop!
- $1,500 and another spin.
All right, Dorothy, you can keep pressing your luck,
or you can pass it right back to Eddie.
- Eddie. - Whoo!
- Eddie, are you ready?
- Let's go. Whoo!
Big Bucks, anything but a Whammy.
No Whammies. Big Bucks.
Stop! Yeah!
- $2,500.
All right.
That is the end of round one.
Eddie is in the lead. - Yes!
- "Press Your Luck" is going to be right back after this.
Stick around.
[cheers and applause]
- Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
Before we jump into round two, let's learn a little bit more
about our contestants.
Dorothy from Chicago, tell me about yourself.
- Listen, Elizabeth.
I only have the best job in the world.
- What?
- I am a school bus driver.
And I've been driving for 23 years.
I drive high school, middle school, and elementary.
And let me tell you, the high schoolers,
they love me, because I will bust a rap out for them.
- A rap?
[cheers and applause]
I want to hear the bus rap.
- Here we go.
- OK.
- ♪ Miss Dorothy's bus ♪
♪ I say, Miss Dorothy is the coolest ♪
♪ No, you know her bus is lit ♪
♪ How can she be any fun ♪
♪ When all she has to yell is sit? ♪
♪ Keep your hands in the window ♪
♪ Get your body out the aisle ♪
♪ When you going cross that street ♪
♪ You look at me and then you smile ♪
♪ Miss Dorothy's bus ♪
[together] ♪ Miss Dorothy's bus ♪
[cheers and applause]
- Whoo, Miss Dorothy's bus!
- Yes.
- Oh my goodness. - Whoo.
- Welcome to "Press Your Luck." Good luck.
- Thank you.
- Shereen from Atlanta, Georgia,
tell me about yourself.
- Well, I'm a stay-at-home mom.
- Yes.
- I have four beautiful children.
- Four kids.
- Yes, four kids.
Two boys, two girls ages 10 to 2 1/2 months old.
- Oh, wow.
You are doing it.
- I'm waking up at 5:00 a.m.
We do the breakfast.
I pack all the lunches, the drop-offs,
the soccer, the baseball, the gymnastics,
the gymnastics, the drama.
I am a glorified Uber driver.
- Yeah, me too.
- Always, always.
- Being on "Press Your Luck's" got
to be like a day off for you.
- It is.
♪ This is my day off ♪
- Thank you so much for being here, Shereen.
- Thank you.
- Welcome to "Press Your Luck." - Thank you.
- Eddie, a dad from Corvallis.
You're from Oregon, yeah? - Yeah.
- Tell me about yourself.
- So I am the dad to the most adorable
four-year-old son, Tony, ever.
He is the light of my wife, Kylie's, and my life.
He is nonverbal and autistic.
So sometimes it can be kind of hard to understand
what he's saying.
But with me having autism myself,
I feel like I can get him.
And he is absolutely a daddy's boy.
I am here for him.
And he is the most sweetest boy ever.
He's making so many wonderful strides every day.
- Amazing.
Eddie, what do you and Tony love to do together?
- So Tony is a huge "Bluey" fan.
- "Bluey." OK.
- That is what he will watch over and over again.
- Sure.
- We also love watching game shows together.
Like, we will watch "Press Your Luck" so often.
And he lights up so much just seeing people
get excited and win prizes.
And now he gets to see his dad on the show.
- Yes.
- I love you, Tony.
- Yes, perfect.
We love Tony too.
Thank you for being here.
All right, it's time for round two.
I have four questions for this round.
1 million seconds is about 11 days.
1 billion seconds is more than 31 years.
But to get from 1 million to 1 billion, how many zeros--
[buzzer rings] Eddie.
- Three.
- How many zeros do you add?
Eddie says it's three.
Dorothy, is it three, six, one?
- Three. - What do you think, Shereen?
- It's three.
- It is, in fact, three, which means Dorothy picked up a spin,
Shereen picked up a spin, and Eddie picked up three spins.
Question two.
Be aggressive, B-E aggressive.
B-E-A-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E.
You might hear the cheerleaders chanting this at the big game.
But if one of them turns to you and says,
I love how you don't care what anyone thinks, or,
can I just say, your outfit is so brave,
she's being what type of aggressive that--
[buzzer rings] Eddie.
- Passive.
- She's being what type of aggressive that Merriam-Webster
defines as expressing negative feelings in an unassertive way?
Eddie said it's passive.
Dorothy is it passive, attentive, hyper?
- Passive. - Shereen?
- Passive.
- It is, in fact, passive-aggressive.
So that's a spin for Dorothy, a spin for Shereen,
and three more for Eddie. - Whoo!
- Question three.
From Monica and Chandler on "Friends" to Janine and Gregory
on "Abbott Elementary,"
sometimes friendships lead to love.
Aw.
And according to a recent YouGov survey,
out of every four people, how many say the best relationships
start as friendships?
[buzzer rings] Eddie.
- I'll go two.
- Dorothy, is it two out of four, one out
of four, three out of four?
- Three out of four.
- What do you think, Shereen?
- Two out of four.
- Three out of four think friendship is important first.
That means, Dorothy, you're the only one who picked up a spin,
bringing your total to three.
Question 4.
This is our last chance to pick up
spins to take to this Big Board.
Here we go.
Ozzy Osbourne barked at it.
Billie Holiday sang about a blue one.
And this year, NASA sent four astronauts there for a flight--
[buzzer rings] Dorothy.
- The moon.
- NASA sent four astronauts there
for a flyby for the first time in 50 years.
Dorothy says, moon.
Shereen, is it the moon, Mars, International Space Station?
- The moon. - Eddie?
- It's the moon.
- It is, in fact, the moon.
Dorothy, you picked up three spins,
bringing your total to six.
Shereen got a spin for three, and Eddie got a spin for seven.
That is all the questions in this round.
It's now time to go back to the Big Board.
Turn these spins into wins.
Let's go.
[cheers and applause]
Wow.
Whew.
You guys are on fire.
It's round two.
So we're doubling the Big Bucks to $10,000.
There it is up there.
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.
[cheers and applause]
All right, Shereen, you are spinning first.
Are you ready to press your luck?
- I'm ready to press my luck, Elizabeth.
- Get after it, Shereen.
- Come on, Big Board.
My kids would love Ben and Jerry's ice cream.
And stop!
- $4,000.
[cheers and applause]
Two more spins.
Press them or pass them?
- I'm here to press my luck, Elizabeth.
- Go for it.
- All right, take the lead.
$10,000, and stop!
- $5,500, that's some big money.
You're now in first place.
One more spin.
You can press it or pass it.
- I think I'm going to have to pass my spin at this point.
- Ooh, she's going to pass it.
This group loves to pass spins.
I love it.
The spin goes to the opponent with the most money.
Currently, that's you, Eddie.
Bam.
And, Dorothy, you're up next with your six spins.
And you will take those spins when "Press Your Luck"
continues right after this.
Come on back.
- Come on, big money!
Come on!
[cheers and applause]
- Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
It's round two here.
Dorothy, it's your turn with the Big Board.
Take it away.
- Come on, double your money.
No Whammies, and stop!
- $4,000.
Five spins.
Press them or pass them?
- I came to press my luck.
- Hit it.
- Come on, pick a corner. Take the lead.
Double the money. Stop!
Oh!
- $4,000 again.
Dorothy, you're in the lead.
Four more spins.
Press those spins or pass those spins?
Right now, they would go to Shereen.
- Elizabeth, I got a little bit of a lead, but not enough.
So I'm going to press my luck.
- Nice.
- Come on, pick a corner.
Double the money. Big Banks.
Stop!
- Ooh, it's a decision. - Ooh.
- You can have $1,500 and a spin or $4,750 for the bank.
- I'm going to take the $4,750.
- $4,750.
Boom.
Three more spins.
You can keep pressing your luck,
or you can pass those spins to Shereen.
- I'm going to press my luck!
Come on, Big Banks.
Come on, double the money. No Whammies.
Big Bucks.
Stop!
- Ben and Jerry's ice cream. - Ahh!
[cheers and applause]
- Yes, yes, you get ice cream.
- Yes!
- This is a pint of Ben and Jerry's ice
cream every week for life.
And it's worth how much for the bank?
$7,597. - Whoo!
- Dorothy, you now lead by more than $15,000.
Two more spins.
You could press your luck or you could pass those spins.
- I'm not going to mess with the Whammy.
I'm going to pass those spins.
- Oh, she doesn't want to mess with the Whammy.
Those two spins go to Shereen, who is
just ahead of Eddie right now.
And you're going to take them right now.
Good luck.
- Anything but a Whammy.
Double my money.
And stop!
- Move two spaces. - Ahh!
- It's the Big Bucks.
[cheers and applause]
- Whoo! - One more spin
you have to take, and then we can talk.
- OK. - Here you go.
- I can do it.
Anything but the Whammy.
Come on, $10,000 again.
And stop!
[buzzer blares]
- Oh, it's a Whammy.
It's a Whammy.
[footsteps stomping]
- [roars]
- [indistinct].
- Mmm, Whammylicious.
- Shereen, I am so sorry.
I said we were going to talk.
And what I meant was, you still have a spin.
- I am going to press my luck.
- Love it.
- Speedboat, anything but a Whammy.
Come on.
Anything but a Whammy.
And stop.
- It's the speedboat!
Oh my god.
What?
Shereen, you hit the speedboat.
- Oh my gosh, please be a lot of money.
- Please be a lot of money, says Shereen.
Well, let's find out.
How much is the speedboat worth for Shereen's bank?
$25,495.
- OK. OK.
That's something to work with. That's something to work with.
- OK, just behind Dorothy.
Whoo, that's a nice place to be sitting right now because Eddie
still has his turn with the board.
You ready, Eddie?
- I'm ready to press my luck, Elizabeth.
- OK, you've got one spin you gotta take.
Good luck, Eddie. - Come on!
Let's go!
Big Banks, baby! Big Banks!
No Whammies. Stop!
Yeah.
- $2,000 and a spin.
All right.
You're in third place.
You have eight spins.
What do you think?
- I gotta catch up, Elizabeth.
Let's press my luck.
Come on, baby.
Give me those Big Banks.
Big Bucks. No Whammies.
Stop!
Yeah!
- $8,000 and another spin.
You going to keep going?
- I'm still in third place, Elizabeth.
Gotta press my luck.
- He's going to keep going.
- Come on.
Give me those Big Banks, Big Bucks!
No Whammies!
Stop!
- $2,000 and another spin.
You're just racking up the bucks.
- I love spins.
- You're going to keep pressing your luck?
- I'm going to keep pressing my luck.
Come on, baby!
Double your money!
Big Banks! No Whammies!
Stop!
- $4,000.
OK, guess what.
You are now in the lead. - Whoo!
- You can keep pressing your luck with those seven spins,
or you can pass them.
They would go to Dorothy.
- Seven spins is a lot.
- It's a lot.
- But if I take them and I hit the Whammy,
I can still catch up with a good amount of spins.
- OK.
- If I pass them to Dorothy, then
she can catch up pretty easily if she gets Whammies too.
So I'm going to press my luck!
- Oh, man.
He's got a plan.
- Come on.
- Eddie has got a plan. - Big Bucks, baby, Big Banks.
No Whammies!
Stop! Oh!
[buzzer blares]
- That's OK. - That's OK.
There's still six. There's still six.
My first one.
Come on.
- I'm very slowly coming for your money!
I'll be there in a minute.
I'm finally here for your money.
Oh.
- Boo.
- That's OK.
It's only my first one.
- Six spins left.
You had a plan.
You said, I'm going to keep spinning.
I'm going to catch up.
That was your plan. How are you feeling?
- We're going to execute that. Come on.
- He's going to execute the plan.
Eddie is on it. - Let's go. Press my luck!
Let's go!
Come on.
Big Bucks, Big Bucks!
Big Banks, baby! No Whammies!
Stop!
[buzzer blares] Oh.
[upbeat music]
Come on. Come on.
No, we chillin'. We good. We good. We good.

$5,995.
You trail Shereen by about $1,500 here.
How are you feeling?
- I'm still in third place.
I need to at least get to second.
Come on.
I'm going to press my luck, baby!
- Pressing his luck.

Stop!
Yeah!

You did it.
You're in second place.

I'm pressing my luck! Whoo!

All right, Eddie, if you hit a square that's worth more than
$2,861, you're going to the bonus game for a chance
at $1 million bucks.

Come on, baby.

Eddie is our winner.
You just won cash and prizes of $31,745.
That includes a lot of yo-yos.
And that is all yours to keep no matter what.
You are now going on to the bonus game for a shot
at $1 million.
How are you feeling?
- This means so much to me.
I'm doing this for Tony. I did this for him.
I said it.
And I'm out here for him.
Wow.
- And I'm so sorry to say we have to say good night
to Dorothy and Shereen.
Keep it right here for more "Press Your Luck."
- Whoo!
[cheers and applause]
- Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
So far tonight Eddie has won cash
and prizes totaling $31,745,
which includes 500 yo-yos.
- Yeah.
- And that is all yours to keep no matter what.
But right now, it's just you versus the Big Board.
And tonight, Eddie, you could go home a millionaire.
- Let's do it!
Come on!
Whoo!
- [exhales]
How has this experience been for you, being
here at "Press Your Luck?"
- This experience means everything to me.
I have been watching this show since I
was seven years old, watching old Peter Tomarken era
episodes on YouTube. - Yeah.
- And then the fact that I met so many amazing,
beautiful people here
throughout this entire experience
just means the absolute world to me.
And then to be able to share this with my son and my wife
too, like, we manifested this.
- Yes. - I made it.
Hi, Tony.
Hi, Kylie.
I made it!
I love you!
Whoo!
- I'm so glad you're having a great time.
- Thank you.
I'm so stoked to be here.
- OK, I know you have some supporters with you.
Will you introduce me?
- Yes, I have my wonderful in-laws, Diana and John.
- Hi, Diana and John.
- Hi. - Hello.
- These are your wife's parents?
- Yes, these are my wife's parents.
They are amazing grandparents to Tony.
We have such a wonderful relationship.
I am so stoked that they were able to come out here,
because my wife couldn't, because she had to stay
back home and watch Tony.
So I'm very grateful for these guys to come out here for me.
- Awesome. [cheers and applause]
What kind of dad is Eddie here?
- He's an awesome dad.
He is such an awesome dad.
He's an awesome husband to my daughter.
He's just-- he's the best.
- You guys are so great to be here.
Thank you guys for being here to support him.
Eddie, I want to keep the winning train running.
What do you think? - Yeah, let's do it.
Come on. - All right.
- Yes. - Yes.
- 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 won and walk away or
press your luck and play on.
The longer you stay in the game,
the bigger the money gets on the board.
And if you make it to our final round,
our Big Bucks Bonanza, one spin could be worth $100,000.
- Whoo! Yeah!
Whoo! Whoo!
- But-- and this is a big but--
the Whammy is still out there.
Four Whammies puts you out of the game.
If your bank in the bonus game ever reaches $500,000,
this game's over, because we automatically bump those
total winnings to $1 million.
- Yeah!
Come on!
Whoo!
- You got this.
- In this first round, the Big Bucks are worth $10,000.
You know there's always more than just cash up there.
We pick out personal prizes just for you.
Let's show Eddie his first one.
- Come on.
- It's Eddie Spaghetti. - Yeah!
[cheers and applause]
- This is 175 meals for you and your family at Olive Garden.
- Whoo!
Yes!
- You love spaghetti?
- Yeah, I love spaghetti.
It's been my favorite food ever since I was a year old.
My two prominent nicknames growing up
were Eddie Spaghetti and Spaghettward.
And I always feel so guilty spending
like $100 at Olive Garden every time we go there.
So this would be so amazing for myself,
personally, and for Kylie and Tony too, of course.
- Yeah, and the family.
- Let's enjoy a nice meal together.
- I mean, if you're going to have the nickname,
we might as well give it to you.
All right, Eddie Spaghetti up on the board.
Love that.
Let's show Eddie his second prize.
It's Tony's playground. - Yes!
Yes!
Whoo!
Yes!
- Eddie, these are two fully equipped playgrounds
for Tony, one for your house and
one for your parents' house.
He'll have sensory swings, water
table, sandboxes, bars to climb on, everything he could want.
- Oh my God.
Yes, that's perfect.
- For you and for your parents' house.
- Yeah.
So my parents are so amazing for watching Tony.
They let Kylie and me go on so many dates together.
Like, they watch them so much.
They're wonderful.
And Tony really loves playgrounds.
He loves swinging.
He loves sliding, climbing.
- I love it.
We're getting these two Tony's playgrounds
up on the board for Eddie.
- Come on.
- All right, let's get to the game.
You're starting off this round with five spins.
Start building that bank, Eddie.
Come on. - Let's go. Come on.
Come on, baby!
Give me those playgrounds!
Give me that Olive Garden!

- Come on, give me those playgrounds!
Give me that Olive Garden!
Big Bucks, no Whammies!
And stop!
- $3,750.
All right, that's it.
That's the end of round one.
You made it through, no Whammies, $23,720 in the bank.
- Whoo! - That's a lot of money.
You can walk away right now with that money,
or you can stay and press your luck in round two,
where the Big Bucks jump up to $25,000.
You only take four spins in round two.
How are you feeling?
- There's so much more money left on that board, Elizabeth.
I'm going to press my luck!
- Yes.
[cheers and applause]
I love when people stay to play,
because it means I get to add
another prize to the board.
Show Eddie his third prize.
- Yeah! - It's a Buddhist retreat.
- Whoo!
- This is for you and Kylie to experience a moment of Zen.
This is a three-day meditation retreat in Thailand.
- Whoo-hoo-hoo!
- You're staying at Pape Retreat, where
you'll learn meditation, mindfulness,
Buddhist teachings from Monks.
And from there, you'll spend six days exploring Bangkok.
You'll discover the city's eclectic nightlife,
try authentic, world-class street food,
and visit stunning temples and palaces.
- That's so cool.
Oh my gosh.
So in my last term of grad school,
I took a meditation class to pad out my credits.
And I thought it was super cool.
I wanted to get back more into it.
But with having a young kid at home,
it's like I only have time to do it when he goes to sleep.
- Yeah, of course.
- And by then, I'm too tired.
So I'd just go to sleep right away.
And so just being able to get away with Kylie for a bit--
- Have you ever been to Thailand?
- I have not.
100% on my bucket list. Come on.
- Trip to Thailand.
We're going to put that up on the Big Board.
And, Eddie, you're going to play for that and
the Big Bucks when "Press Your Luck"
comes back right after this. - Whoo!
[cheers and applause]
- Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
It's round two of our bonus game.
Eddie's got $23,720 in the bank, zero Whammies.
The Big Bucks are now worth $25,000.
You only have four spins in this round.
Take it away, Eddie. - Let's do it!
Come on!
Let's get the Thailand trip!
Come on!
Give me that spaghetti.
Give me Tony's playground!
Big Bucks! Stop!
Yeah!
- $6,150. - Whoo!
- $29,870 in the bank, three spins,
three more chances to win. - Let's go.
Come on, baby!
Big Bucks!
Give me that Thailand trip! No Whammies!
Stop!
Yes!
- It's the retreat!
[cheers and applause]
- Oh my god!
- It's the retreat.
You're going to Thailand!
- I'm going to Thailand!
- Oh my goodness, Eddie.
OK, I need some mindful meditation right about now.
- Me too.
- Ooh, Buddhist retreat in Thailand for you and your wife.
How much is it worth for Eddie's bank?
- Oh my god.
- $36,678. - Oh my god.
[cheers and applause]
- You now have $66,548 in the bank.
Two more spins in this round.
Whew.

Let's keep going. - Yes, get it all.
- Come on, baby.
Give me those playgrounds.
Big Bucks.
Anything but a Whammy, and stop!
No!
[buzzer blares]
- Ah.
- It's OK.
- [groaning]
Ooh.
[laugh] Ah!
- We're bouncing back. - We're bouncing back.
We're meditating right through that Whammy.
We've got a spin left right now.
That spin is going to be the Big Bucks.
I can feel it. Go get it, Eddie.
Come on. - Come on, baby.
We got some catching up to do. Come on.
Give me those playgrounds. Big Bucks.
No Whammies.
No Whammies, and stop!
Yeah!
- $5,500 in the bank.
All right, that's the end of round two.
$5,500.
You can walk away right now, or you can stay and press
your luck in round three, where the Big Bucks double
up to an incredible $50,000.
- Whoo!
- I want to press my luck, Elizabeth.
Come on! - Oh, he came to win.
- Whoo!
- Because you decided to stay and play,
we get to add another personalized
prize to the board picked out just for you, Eddie.
Show him what it is.
- Yes! - Eddie's Escalade.
[cheers and applause]
- Come on, Eddie.
- Oh, my god.
This is my dream car.
With having Tony around, we're always
carrying him around a lot. - Yeah.
- And so with the back pain that we have sometimes,
we need something with a massaging feature.
Like, that Escalade is my dream car with the whole massage
feature and everything.
And oh my gosh, I've always loved this.
- Massage feature and lots of room in that Escalade.
You're going to be riding around like a baller.
All right, Eddie's Escalade going up on the Big Board.
And I cannot let the Whammy keep the Buddhist retreat.
Eddie, I'm putting the Buddhist retreat back up
on the Big Board for you.
- Yeah, come on!
- You're playing for all your prizes this round.
The Big Bucks are worth $50,000.
You have three spins in this round.
Take it away, Eddie. - Let's go, Elizabeth.
- Let's get to winning.
- Come on, come on, give me that Escalade!
Big Bucks! No Whammies!
Stop!
- $5,500. - Yes!
All right, you doubled your money.
Two more spins. $11,000 in the bank.
- Let's go!
Come on, baby!
Big Bucks, Big Bucks!
Give me pick a square.
Give me anything but a Whammy!
And stop!
Whoo!
- $4,444.
OK, $15,444.
One more spin. Hit the Big Bucks. Here we go.
- One more spin. Come on, baby.
Big Bucks.
- 50 grand, hit the Escalade.
Escalade.
- Give me those playgrounds!
Anything but a Whammy!
Big Bucks, and stop!
[buzzer blares]
Oh.
Well, that makes this choice easier.
- It sure does.
- I'm going to take your money so fast, you'll be furious.
[audience boos]
- Boo. - Oy.
All right, Eddie.
You finished the round with zero dollars, two Whammies.
The good news is, we are about to increase
the Big Bucks to $75,000.
- Let's go!
Come on!
- Can I show you what your final prize is?
- Yeah, please do.
- OK, show Eddie what it is.
This is so exciting.
This is "Bluey" in Brisbane. - Oh my god.
- Yeah.
- Whoo!
- Eddie, this is for you and your family
to take a private jet--
- Oh my god.
- --from Portland to Australia--
- Oh my god.
- --for a six-night "Bluey" adventure.
Your first stop is Bluey's World,
the one of a kind immersive experience that
features life-sized sets, beloved characters
from the cartoon "Bluey."
And then you'll tour locations around the city that
have inspired many of Bluey's adventures
in Tony's favorite episodes.
We're also throwing in tickets to the Australia Zoo
to see kangaroos, koalas, and wallabies.
- Oh my god, that's incredible.
- Whoo!
- This would mean the world to my family.
With Tony being so obsessed with "Bluey,"
he would just light up right away.
And I've always wanted to travel with my family.
But with Tony being nonverbal and autistic and-- like,
he can't really wear headphones that well.
So he can't really do that well on commercial jets.
So having a private jet all the way to freaking Brisbane?
Oh my gosh.
- Bluey in Brisbane is up on the board.
There it is.
You are going to play for that and
so much more when "Press Your Luck"
comes back right after this.
Stick around.
[cheers and applause]
- Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
Eddie, the star of the night, is on a wild ride.
- For sure.
- Whoo!
We are about to start round four.
All of your prizes are up there for you.
- Come on. Whoo!
- Big Bucks are now worth $75,000.
- Let's go.
- You show this board what's up.
You win all your prizes.
Let's make it happen right now.
- Let's go!
Come on, board, I'm done playing!
Enough with those Whammies!
Give me that Escalade!
Give me anything but a Whammy!
Big Bucks, Big Bucks!
Stop!
Yes! Yes!
- $4,500 in the bank.
- Not a Whammy!
- Not a Whammy.
Two more spins. - Not a Whammy.
- OK. - Come on, baby.
Let's go to Thailand. - Come on, big money.
- Pick a square, Big Bucks, no Whammies.
Stop!
- $8,000 and a spin. - Whoo!
Whoo-hoo-hoo! - $12,500 in the bank.
Lots to win.
Eddie's Escalade up there.
Oh my goodness.
Let's go get the rest of it.
Come on.
- Let's go.
Let's get that lose a Whammy.
Let's get that pick a square.
Big Bucks!
No Whammies!
Stop! [buzzer blares]
Ah, I knew it.
- Surf's up.
Hang 10.
I got your money, and it's a wipeout.
Ahh!
[water splashes]
- OK, the great news about this game is that one spin,
which is what you've got, could be worth $75,000.
It could be worth an Escalade. - Let's go. Come on.
- You have three Whammies.
Four puts you out of the game. - Yeah.
- This is your win right now.
This is the big one. - Let's go.
- Go get it, Eddie. - Let's go.
Come on. - You got it.
- Come on, Eddie.
- All right, Eddie, you got this.
- Come on, Big Bucks. Give me that Escalade.
- Yes. - Give me Brisbane.
- Give me pick a square.
- That's it. - Anything but a Whammy.
$75k, Big Bucks, Big Bucks, no Whammies.
Stop!
- $6,750.
You're putting it in the bank.
- OK.
- Whew. OK.
$6,750.
You can walk away right now.
Nobody would blame you.
This is a scary position.
But it's also an opportunity, because if you stay and press
your luck one final time, in round five,
the Big Bucks top out at a life-changing $100,000.
- Whoo!
- And we bring back the Big Bucks
from all the previous rounds,
because this is the Big Bucks Bonanza.
[cheers and applause]
So we got $10,000.
We got $25,000, - Yeah.
- $50,000. - Come on.
- $75,000, and the ultimate Big Bucks, $100,000.
[cheers and applause]
So, Eddie, do you want to walk away with $6,750 extra bucks
in your pocket, or do you want to stay and
play the Big Bucks Bonanza?
- There's so much money up there, Elizabeth.
I need to press my luck!
- Why not?
Why not?
You've got three spins, three opportunities
to go home a millionaire tonight.
- Let's go.
- This whole crowd is with you. - Whoo, Eddie!
- Thank you all.
[cheers and applause]
- Eddie! Whoo!
- It's the time of your life. - Yeah.
- No matter what. [together] Eddie!
Eddie! Eddie!
- When you're ready-- - OK, I'm ready, Elizabeth.
- --you can press your luck. - Come on!
I'm going to press my luck! - When you're ready.
He's ready. He's ready.
- Big Bucks. Press.
Come on!
Give me that Escalade!
Give me Brisbane!
Give me 100 grand.
Anything but a Whammy!
Big Bucks!
And stop!
Ah! [buzzer blares]
That's OK. - You know what?
At least it was fast.
- Yeah.
- Oh, Eddie.
I'm so proud of you. - Thank you.
I'm so proud of myself. This was amazing.
- I'm so proud of you.
That was awesome.
- That was great.
- Oh, my goodness.
I'm sorry.
That is the fourth Whammy, which means Eddie's game
is over for tonight.
The Whammy got the best of you.
But the good news is you're still
going home with an incredible amount of cash.
- Yeah. - Good job, Eddie.
- Chris, remind Eddie what he's taking home tonight.
- Congratulations, Eddie.
Hey, can I borrow a yo-yo?
'Cause you got 500 of them.
[cheers and applause]
Plus, $25,750 in cash.
- That's still something.
- Which brings your grand total to $31,745.
- Yeah!
- Thank you for watching.
We'll see you next time right here on "Press Your Luck."
It's a wild ride every night.
Whoo, wild ride every time.
Eddie, come on over.
- Come here.
- How you doing?
- So nice to meet you. - Thank you. You too.
