In the immortal words of anybody who's ever gambled...
One more time.
I'm gonna press my luck one more time.
One more time!
One more. One more.
"Just one more."
How many times have I heard that?
I think I'm feeling one more.
One more time.
One more time! Press my luck!
One more time. Alright.
-Big bucks. -No Whammy.
-And stop! -Stop!
-Stop!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Come on!
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 Television City in Hollywood,
it's time to press...your...luck!
And now here's the host of "Press Your Luck,"
Elizabeth Banks!
[ Cheers and applause ]
♪♪
Welcome to "Press Your Luck,"
the game of big risks and even bigger bucks.
Let's meet our three players.
[ Cheers and applause ]
A front-desk receptionist from Bakersfield, California,
it's Billy. Ow!
Bakersfield, what up? Hi, Elizabeth. Ow!
A student-development coordinator
from Seal Beach, California, please welcome Janet.
Hi, Elizabeth.
And, finally, a college professor
from St. Louis, Missouri.
Say hello to Arnetta.
Hey, Elizabeth. [ Laughs ]
Hey.
Good luck to all three of you.
Thank you.
Tonight, you'll take on the Big Board.
It is loaded with cash and prizes,
and every time you stop the board like this --
Stop! --
you add money to the bank just like that.
The player with the most cash and prizes in their bank
at the end of Round 2 gets to keep it
and goes on to the Bonus Game for a shot at $1 million!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah!
Are you ready to press your luck?
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Alright, first things first, let's earn some spins.
I have three questions for this round.
Here we go.
Snow White invited the Seven Dwarfs over
for a dinner party.
Doc couldn't make it. He was on call at the hospital.
And Sleepy stayed home in bed.
But all the other Dwarfs showed up.
Including Ms. White, how many were at her party?
Billy.
Five.
Janet, is the answer five, six, eight?
I'm gonna go with eight.
Arnetta? Five.
Billy, how'd you get to your answer?
Without counting Snow White
'cause I don't think she'd count herself,
I think there's only five Dwarfs left.
Except I said "including Ms. White." Aw!
Snow White minus Doc minus Sleepy, who stayed home,
means there's how many? Arnetta: Six.
All: Six.
Sorry. No spins right now.
Alright, we got to shake that one off. Shake it.
That's okay. That's okay. Let's do it. Here we go. Alright.
Question 2.
I promise no more math. [ Laughter ]
It's no secret that Americans love their snacks,
especially potato chips. Potato chips.
According to the website Mashed, aside from plain,
what is the most popular flavor of potato chip?
Arnetta. Barbecue.
Billy, is it barbecue, sour cream and onion,
salt and vinegar?
I'mma go with barbecue.
What do you think, Janet?
I'm gonna go with sour cream and onion.
I really like sour cream and onion. Mm-hmm. Me, too.
But most Americans, after plain,
they like barbecue!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Arnetta had it right.
That means Billy picks up a spin,
and Arnetta's on the board with three big spins.
Yeah. Alright, Question 3.
He's a five-time champion with the Los Angeles Lakers
who got his nickname from a sportswriter
while he was still in high school.
He won't make a rabbit disappear,
but which former NBA player's real first name is Earvin?
[ Audience murmuring ]
[ Buzzer ] [ Laughter ]
Ooh!
This L. A. audience is not happy about this one.
[ Laughs ]
Since nobody rang in,
I'll give you three answers to choose from,
and a correct answer will be worth one spin.
Alright, Billy, is it Shaquille O'Neal,
"Magic" Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?
I'mma go with Shaquille O'Neal.
Okay. Janet, what do you think?
I think Shaquille O'Neal.
What do you think, Arnetta?
"Magic" Johnson. [ Chuckles ]
[ Laughs ] [ Cheers and applause ]
I think the audience knows who's right.
It is indeed "Magic" Johnson,
which means Arnetta picked up another spin.
Billy ends the round with a spin,
Janet, no spins for you,
and Arnetta picked up four spins.
Now let's see if we can turn these spins into cash
because it's time to take on the Big Board.
[ Cheers and applause ]
♪♪
Okay. Ow!
We've got thousands of dollars and some wild prizes
on our Big Board tonight, but beware of the Whammy.
[ Sour note plays ]
Land on one, and he'll take away all your cash and prizes,
and if you rack up four Whammies,
you're out of the game.
Normally we start with the player
who has the fewest spins, and that's Janet,
but, unfortunately, you have zero spins.
The good news about that is you have no chance
of meeting the Whammy right now.
[ Cheers and applause ]
I like it.
And it means that Billy's gonna be our first to spin.
Whoo! Ow!
Billy, take it away.
Show us what the Big Board has in store for you.
Let's do it! Big bucks, no Whammies.
And stop!
$1,500. Bam.
Yes!
Right in the bank. Right in the bank.
Alright, Arnetta, you feeling lucky?
I'm feeling lucky. Let's do this.
Press your luck, Arnetta.
Whoo! Alright, big bucks.
I see you, Belgium. I want you, Belgium.
And stop!
$1,500. Alright.
Yes. You are now tied with Billy.
What do you think? You want to press your luck with those three spins?
I came to press my luck. Let's press it.
Whoo! Big money. I want that Belgium.
Come on, come on. Big money.
And stop!
Gold Mining. Whoo!
What'd I tell you? We've got some wild prizes, everybody.
Gold's worth a lot of money.
Let's see what it's worth for Arnetta.
3,508 bucks.
Bam!
Arnetta, you now have the lead.
Two more spins.
Press your luck or pass?
So I'm gonna press my luck one more time.
Alright. One more time.
Big money. I see you, Belgium. I see you.
Big money, big money, big money, and stop!
$1,500. Whoo!
Oh, that feels good.
One more spin. Press it or pass it?
I am going to pass it.
Oh!
Whenever you pass,
your spins go to the opponent with the most money.
Billy, that's you.
I'mma go ahead and win some more money!
Yeah! Yeah.
Come on. Even the Add One.
And stop!
$1,875. There we go.
Alright, that is the end of Round 1,
and Arnetta, the big winner of Round 1 --
$6,508 in the bank,
and we're just getting warmed up.
More spins, more big bucks when "Press Your Luck" continues.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
Now, before we jump into Round 2,
let's learn about our contestants.
Billy, you're from Bakersfield, California.
Bakersfield, what up?
Yeah.
And, Ms. Banks, I'm a 26-year-old husband of 5 years
to the most beautiful woman in the world.
I have two amazing children, Billy Duncan V
and my daughter, Nyla Jade. Yeah, yeah.
Whoo! Congratulations.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Billy Duncan V.
Are you the fourth?
The one and only. Yeah, I'm Billy D. IV, and --
One and only? I don't know.
Sounds like there's four other Billy Duncans.
Oh, there, you got it! [ Laughs ]
What do you do for work, Billy?
Currently, I work as a front-desk receptionist,
meaning I greet everyone that comes in
with a smile on my face, the 'fro looking sharp.
Yes.
Welcome to "Press Your Luck." Good luck tonight.
I'm happy to be here, Elizabeth.
Janet, tell me about yourself.
I work on a college campus.
I supervise 18 student staff. Shout-out to them.
I am a 33-year-old
that lives in a first-year freshman residence hall.
Yes.
Wait, you live in the dorm?
I live in the dorm. [ Chuckles ]
And what do you do when you're not working at the school?
When I'm not working, I do this thing called dragon boating.
I'm sorry. What? Yeah, dragon boating.
Rawr. That's not a dragon.
[ Chuckling ] What is dragon boating?
It's a 20-person boat that seats 10 seats.
You sit two to a seat
and you paddle one side at a time
and there's a huge dragon at the front.
It's pretty rad. Amazing.
Janet, welcome to "Press Your Luck."
Good luck.
Arnetta from St. Louis, Missouri.
Yeah, St. Louis. "Show-Me" State.
I am 40 years old. College professor.
Fullerton College. Shout-out to the homeys.
Yes! Yeah!
I'm married to a beautiful, beautiful woman.
We're celebrating our five-year this summer.
Congrats. Amazing. Yeah.
And we just had our first child,
our little pandemic baby, Sadie.
Amazing.
Good luck tonight, Arnetta. Thank you.
Alright, let's get back into the game.
It's time for Round 2.
I've got four questions this round.
Here we go.
Some people say I'm a "celebrity,"
and other people say I'm, like, "the girl next door,"
but in the context of this conversation,
according to Merriam-Webster,
what is the name of this "gesture"?
Billy.
Air quotations?
Janet, is it air quotes, bunny ears, jazz fingers?
Air quotes.
Arnetta? Air quotes.
Air quotes is right.
It's "air quotes."
Billy, that means you picked up three spins.
Janet got a spin, and Arnetta picked up a spin.
Alright, everybody's got spins, spins, spins.
Here we go. [ Laughter ]
It's a way of slicing ham, a wire-bound notebook,
and every good quarterback can throw one.
What is this word that has me spinning out of control?
Mm-hmm.
[ Buzzer ] [ Groans ]
Is it lateral, spiral, loose leaf?
Billy.
I'll go with spiral.
Janet. Spiral.
Arnetta. Spiral.
It is, in fact, spiral.
Whoo! Let's go!
I love me a spiral ham.
That means Billy picked up another spin. Yes.
Janet picked up a spin, and Arnetta picked up a spin.
Question 3.
If you won an ugly sweater contest,
without trying to win an ugly sweater contest,
then you might want to make some life changes.
[ Laughter ] But tell me,
as reported by Yahoo,
in what month is National Ugly Sweater Day?
Arnetta.
December.
Billy, is it December, January, November?
December.
Janet? December.
Of course it's December!
We wear our ugly sweaters around the holidays
and also my entire childhood in the '80s.
Alright, Billy picked up a spin,
Janet picked up a spin,
and Arnetta picked up three spins.
Alright, it's our last question of this round.
Here we go.
According to Forbes, this Colombian-American star
was the highest-paid actress on television
for nine straight years.
She even had a TV family on ABC
that could be quaintly described as modern.
Name this celebrity.
Janet.
Sofía Vergara?
Janet says it's Sofía Vergara.
Billy, is it Sofía Vergara, Salma Hayek, Eva Mendes?
Uh...Sofía...
Sofía! Yeah!
[ Laughter ]
Arnetta?
I'm gonna also say Sofía!
[ Laughter ]
It is, in fact, my friend, Sofía Vergara.
That means Billy picked up a spin,
Janet picked up three spins, and Arnetta picked up a spin.
Six, six, six. Arnetta: Whoa!
I hope that's not a bad sign.
We're gonna take these spins to the Big Board right now.
Let's go.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah! Let's go!
Yeah! -Whoo!
It's Round 2, so we're doubling the Big Bucks to $10,000.
$10,000. [ Cheers and applause ]
And, remember,
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 ]
Alright, Janet, you have the least amount of money,
which means you spin first.
Are you ready to take on the Big Board?
I'm ready.
Janet, let's go.
Okay, Janny doesn't want a Whammy.
She wants that $5,000.
She wants the yacht trip.
And stop!
Oh, she takes the lead and one spin.
You take the lead by $1,
and you picked up a spin.
Press your luck or pass those spins?
I love being in the lead right now,
but I got to press my luck.
Yeah.
Okay, I want that yacht trip.
Keep me in the lead.
I'll take a trip to Morocco.
And stop!
Whoo! $1,500.
Doing good.
You want to keep going? I'm feeling really good,
but I'm gonna press my luck, Elizabeth.
Come on. I want that private yacht charter.
Give me that $10,000.
And stop!
$8,000! Whoo!
$16,009.
Five more spins.
Press your luck or pass those spins?
Well, five's my lucky number,
so I got to do at least one more.
Let's press my luck. Good luck, Janet.
I really want that car. I really want that car.
I want that private yacht trip. $10,000.
And stop!
She got the car!
[ Cheering ]
Oh, my God!
♪ It's a car ♪
[ Cheers and applause ]
It's an Infiniti Q50.
Oh, my gosh!
How much is an Infiniti Q50?
$40,268.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Janet... Whoo! Whoo!
...it's coming at you fast.
My heart is racing.
I am feeling so good.
Five was my lucky number.
I'm gonna pass those spins.
She's passing those spins.
She doesn't want to face that Whammy.
Hoo, alright, well, whenever you pass,
your spins go to the opponent with the most money,
which is Arnetta.
Billy has six spins, and you're up next
when "Press Your Luck" continues right after this.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Ow! Yeah!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
Janet, the big winner so far -- $56,277,
including a new car.
But, Billy, it is your turn with the Big Board.
Let's do it. You need 52,902 bucks to take the lead.
Good luck, Billy.
Let's do it! Big money!
Anything but a Whammy!
Private yacht! I'll take that yacht!
And stop!
$3,000. Whoo! I'll take it! Yes!
There we go.
You have five spins.
Press your luck or pass those spins?
I still have a lot to make up.
I'mma press your luck. Let's do it.
$10,000. Come on. Big bucks.
And stop!
Whoo! Alright!
That felt good, and you picked up a spin.
Yes.
You want to press your luck,
or you want to pass those spins?
[ Audience shouting ]
I want to press my luck. Let's do it.
Come on! $10,000!
No Whammies!
Give me that yacht!
And stop!
Move Two Spaces. $4,750.
Alright, you're now over $20,000. $20,000.
Press your luck or pass those spins?
I think I want to go at least one more time,
so I'mma press my luck! Whew!
Let's go! Anything but the Whammy.
Come on. Big bucks. Private yacht.
And stop!
Whoo! $2,250.
Alright.
What do you think, Billy?
Another decision to make --
press your luck or pass those spins?
Aw, man, there's still a lot of spins out,
and I think I want to pass those three spins.
Ooh, alright, he's passing those spins.
Those are spins that Janet has to take,
and you're gonna take them right now.
Here we go.
Janny doesn't want a Whammy.
She wants that $5,000.
Still looking at that private yacht.
Stop!
[ Screams ] Oh, man.
It's a whole day
on a private yacht in Miami.
How much is the yacht trip all around Miami worth for Janet?
$8,847. Boom.
Two more spins, Janet. Here we go.
Janny doesn't want a Whammy. She wants those big bucks.
Keep it big bucks, big bucks.
Big bucks!
Ooh, a decision.
You can have $2,750 and a spin,
or you can have the oversized chess set.
You're a real prize magnet, Janet.
Chess set. Let's do it. She wants the chess set.
How much is the chess set worth?
You now have cash and prizes totaling $71,622.
You got to do it one more time, Janet.
You got to make the board work for you one more time.
Good luck.
Come on, come on. No Whammy, no Whammy.
I want that trip to Morocco, that $3,000, $3,000.
And stop!
$2,000. Whoo!
Holy moly.
I told you there was a lot of game left to play.
Okay, Janet, you beat the Whammy so far.
Arnetta, are you ready?
I am ready.
You have four spins that you must take.
Here we go.
Make that board work for you, Arnetta.
I want big bucks, big bucks!
Come on! Big bucks, big bucks!
And stop!
$2,750 in the bank.
Three more spins. Here we go.
Alright, I'm looking at you. No Whammies.
And stop!
[ Sour note plays ]
[ Audience "ohhs" ]
Follow me. [ Blows whistle ]
Right this way, little Whamlets.
No more pencils, no more books,
no more teachers' dirty looks,
and no more money!
[ Whamlets laugh ]
I'm so proud of those little Whamlets.
[ Grunts ]
[ Boing! ]
I mean, at least the Whamlets are safe, right?
Because you hit the Whammy,
your spins have all moved into the Earned column,
which means you can do with them what you like.
I'm gonna press my luck. Come on.
Alright. Whoo!
Come on, $10,000. I see you.
Come on, $10,000.
And stop!
$4,500 in the bank. Okay, yeah.
Press your luck or pass, Arnetta?
I'm gonna press my luck, Elizabeth.
Big bucks. Come on, big bucks.
And stop!
Whoo! $2,250, and you picked up a spin.
Press your luck or pass those spins?
I'm pressing my luck. Come on. Let's get it.
$10,000, I see you. I need you. I need you.
$10,000, come on.
And stop!
$4,500. Alright. Whoo!
Six more spins. How you feeling?
I'm feeling like I'm still pressing.
Let's do it. Gonna press my luck.
Morocco, I see you, I see you.
$10,000 or Morocco.
And stop!
$3,500... Whoo!
...and another spin.
Slow and steady. Is it winning the race, Arnetta?
How you feeling?
I am feeling to press my luck!
Let's do it!
I see you, Morocco. I see you, Morocco.
And stop!
Whoo! $2,250.
Whoo, you're creeping up on Billy.
You're almost in second place.
What do you think? You want to press your luck?
I'm gonna press my luck. Let's get it.
She's on a roll.
Morocco. Morocco.
Double my money. Let's get it. $10,000.
And stop!
Whoo! $3,333.
So close. How you feeling?
I'm pressing my luck. Let's get it.
[ Both laugh ] No decision.
Come on. Double my money. Double my money.
And stop!
[ Sour note plays ]
[ Audience "ohhs" ]
Rub-a-dub-dub. There's no money in your tub.
Huh?
Aah!
The water's cold, I swear.
[ Boing! ]
I don't need to see a naked Whammy.
I don't know about you guys.
Arnetta, I'm so sorry.
The Whammy has taken all of your cash. Yeah.
You still have three spins left.
Would you like to press your luck
or pass those spins?
I'm gonna press my luck, Elizabeth.
Let's do it. Alright.
Come on, Morocco.
Let's get it. Let's get it. Let's get it.
And stop!
$3,500. Okay, yeah.
Two more spins.
I'm gonna keep going. Press my luck.
$10,000 and a spin. I need some more spins.
And stop!
$1,750.
Alright, Arnetta, you're in third place.
You can press your luck with that spin,
keep the fate in your own hands,
or you can pass that spin to Janet.
There's some spins on the board.
If I stop now, I'm definitely gonna stay in last place,
so I think I'm gonna try it.
I'm gonna pray and press my luck.
Anything less than a spin, and Janet is the winner tonight.
Yes, yes.
Arnetta, good luck.
Come on, $10,000.
$10,000, I need you, baby.
I need that spin. I need that spin.
And stop!
She got the spin.
That is huge!
She got the spin!
[ Applause ]
Wow. Wow.
Can you do it one more time?
'Cause if you do that same thing again,
you will be in second place.
Whoo! Okay, okay, okay.
I'mma press my luck. Let's do it.
Okay.
Come on, $10,000. That next spin.
$10,000, I see you, baby.
$10,000 and that spin. Come on.
$10,000 and that spin.
And stop!
Whoo! Pick a corner.
Oh, my goodness.
You want the spin, right? Yes.
$1,500 and the spin.
Bang. Whoo!
We're still doing this! Whoo!
It's still happening! Arnetta is still alive!
Yes.
[ Breathes deeply ] Press your luck?
I'm pressing my luck. Come on, now.
Whoo!
Come on, $10,000. Double your money.
Double your money.
Come on, come on, come on.
And stop!
Whoo! Oh, my goodness.
She got another spin.
Another spin. You did it again!
She did it again.
How you feeling?
Again, same situation.
You know I'm about to press my luck.
Let's do it. [ Laughs ]
Whoo!
$10,000, $10,000, $10,000!
Give it to me! $10,000!
And stop!
$3,500. That's not gonna do it.
Janet!
Janet is our winner! Congratulations.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Congratulations.
Elizabeth: Oh, Arnetta... Yeah.
...you battled till the very end. Yeah.
Thank you so much for being here.
Arnetta and Billy, we have to say good night to you.
Janet just won cash and prizes totaling $73,622.
Whoo! Janet, that's yours to keep no matter what.
It was a wild ride.
It's only gonna get more wild for you
because you're going to the Bonus Game
for a chance to win $1 million.
Come on back for more "Press Your Luck"
right after this.
Don't go anywhere.
Congratulations, yo. Yeah.
You did that.
You did that, baby. You did that.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
So far tonight, Janet has won cash and prizes
totaling $73,622.
That includes the oversized chess set,
a private yacht charter,
an Infiniti Q50,
and over $18,000 in cash.
That's all yours to keep
no matter what else happens tonight...
I'm so excited. ...but now it's just you versus the Big Board.
You could go home a millionaire.
Whoo!
Janet, you started this game, Round 1, zero spins.
[ Chuckling ] Zero spins.
You were like, "Ah, I'll sit this one out,"
and now you're here in the Bonus Game.
How are you feeling?
Oh, my gosh, I'm feeling so excited.
I mean, in that first round, I was so defeated,
and the audience was like, "'Magic' Johnson? Really?"
Like, "You didn't get that? Come on."
I felt really embarrassed, so defeated, but you know what?
I came back. Round 2 was my round.
Yes, you're the comeback.
I'm the comeback kid.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And are you a game-show fan?
Oh, my gosh, I'm such a game-show fan.
So, when you guys started revamping this show,
I don't have cable,
so I would go to my mom's house every night
just to watch "Press Your Luck" when she had cable.
ABC, "Fun and Games," summer of games.
Oh, my gosh.
"Summer Fun and Games."
And now your mom's right here with you, huh?
Introduce me.
Hi, Mom.
Hi!
This is Cynthia.
My mom has been a single mom for most of my life
to me and my amazing sister.
She's so amazing and awesome.
I'm already gonna start crying.
This is my mom, yes.
Hi, Cynthia, Mom. Hi.
Tell me about your daughter.
[ Voice breaking ] Nobody deserves this more.
She is the kindest, most generous,
loving person you could ever ask for.
I'm sure you helped make her that way,
so congratulations. Thank you. Thank you.
And, Janet, who's this now?
My amazing sister.
We're two years apart.
She's a stay-at-home mom of two beautiful children
that are my world, my absolute world.
Thank you for birthing them,
but, also, you're an amazing human, too.
Is she a good auntie?
She's literally the best.
I could not ask for a better sister.
I just love her to death.
Aww, you guys seem like a tight, nice family, huh?
We are. We definitely are.
Alright, well, good luck to all of you.
It's gonna be incredible. Here we go.
You're gonna face off against the Whammy over five rounds.
We got this. At the end of each round,
you can take whatever money, prizes,
whatever's in your bank, you could walk away,
or press your luck and play on. Okay.
The longer you stay in the game,
the bigger the money gets on the board.
And if you make it to the final round,
our Big Bucks Bonanza, one spin could be worth $100,000.
[ Cheers and applause ]
But there are still Whammies out there... Boo.
...and if you hit one, he takes all your money,
sends your bank right back down to zero.
Four Whammies puts you out of the game altogether.
If your bank in the Bonus Game ever reaches $500,000,
the game is over because we automatically bump
the total winnings to $1 million!
Whoo!
Yes.
Alright, in this first round,
the Big Bucks are worth $10,000.
[ Cheers and applause ]
But there's more than just cash and prizes on the board.
We picked out some personalized prizes just for you,
and this first one is so special, Janet,
we had to get someone special to tell you about it.
Take a look.
Hi, Janet. It's Mia Hamm.
I just want to say thank you for supporting
Angel City Football Club.
We love that you're a massive fan already,
and we would love to see you, your sister,
and your mom at every single game next season,
sporting your Angel City merch
and screaming at the top of your lungs.
So let's do this.
Let's win this prize. Good luck.
Oh, my God.
Give it up for Mia Hamm, everybody.
[ Cheers and applause ]
[ Chuckles ]
That's season tickets for four people
to cheer on the Angel City Football Club.
That's Los Angeles' all-woman soccer club.
We're so excited to have them here in L. A.
Yes, we are. Yes, we are.
Who's the soccer star here in the family?
So my sister is the soccer star. I was her cheerleader.
I would be with the little brothers on the side,
cheering like, "Go, team, go,"
you know, with the little brothers
and me and my tall self.
And we just loved soccer growing up.
We love the Premier League. Mia Hamm is everything.
That so special. Thank you so much.
Yes, well, let's put that Angel City Football Club
on the board,
and let's add a second prize, too.
Here it is. Unh-unh.
Yep.
[ Screams ] It's a dragon boat.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Oh, my gosh.
This is a competition-certified 22-person dragon boat.
You told us you were huge into dragon boating.
[ Chuckling ] Yes.
Where do you ride on the boat?
Are you a front, a middle, or a back?
And does it matter? I'm making things up right now.
[ Laughs ] It does matter. You are spot-on.
Okay, I figured it mattered.
Yes, so being a long-legged, tall human, I sit in the middle.
Does your team need a new boat?
Our team needs a new boat. This would be super amazing.
We're a team of cancer survivors and allies,
and this would be in dedication to all of the folks
that we have lost on our team,
so this would be amazing. Incredible.
Well, I hope that you win this dragon boat. Thank you.
Put it on the board for Janet.
Let's get to the game.
You are starting off the first round
with five spins.
Take it away, Janet.
Okay, come on. I want that Angel City.
I want big bucks. Janny wants no Whammies.
And stop!
[ Screams ]
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Holy moly!
It's already happening.
Thanks, Mia. Thanks.
Angel City Football Club season tickets
for you and your family. That's amazing.
They're worth what for the bank?
$9,955 in the bank.
Four more spins.
Come on, come on, come on. Come on, big money.
Big money. I'll take that dragon boat.
And stop!
$2,750.
Three more spins. Okay.
You got this. Oh, my gosh.
I see a grandfather clock. I still want that $10,000.
I would love some more money.
And stop!
$2,750.
We're doing it. We're doing it.
You're doing it.
Two more spins. You got this.
Come on, dragon boat.
Come on, $5,000.
Let's do this. Get some cash.
And stop!
Whoo! Grandfather clock.
Yes!
I mean, we got to know what time it is.
It's Janet time is what time it is.
Janet time!
[ Both laugh ]
How much is the grandfather clock?
$7,025.
Wow.
One more spin. Come on.
Okay, let's do this. Let's do this.
Big money. No Whammies.
Whoo! Come on! Come on!
Let's do the dragon boat.
And stop!
Whoo! $3,333.
-Whoo! -My God. [ Chuckles ]
Okay, it's time for a decision.
Oh, God.
You can walk away right now
with all your money and prizes
or you can stay and press your luck in Round 2,
where the Big Bucks jump up to $25,000.
[ Cheers and applause ]
You know, Elizabeth, I'm gonna press my luck.
Oh!
I love it.
Let's add another prize to the board!
It's a hot-pink Prius.
[ Screams ] Oh, my God.
[ Laughs ]
Whoo!
This is my dream automobile. No joke.
This is my dream automobile.
So, growing up, I was a crazy, hippie child.
I would drive around,
making people roll down the windows
to not use the A/C to be super sustainable.
Little did I know.
And I've just always dreamed of owning a Prius in pink.
You know, who can beat pink?
[ Laughter ]
Okay, well, that is the hot-pink Prius
that I guarantee will have A/C,
and it's going on the board for Janet.
[ Cheers and applause ]
You are gonna play for that car and more cash and prizes
right after this, when "Press Your Luck" returns.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
It's Round 2 of the Bonus Game.
Janet has $25,813 in the bank.
Zero Whammies. Yeah!
Some Big Bucks that are worth $25,000,
and you have four spins to take.
Are you ready? I'm ready.
Keep winning, Janet! It's time for Janet.
Okay, really want that hot-pink Prius.
$25,000 for Allie.
And stop!
$2,500 and a spin.
Take it. I'll take it.
Come on, let's get that hot-pink Prius.
I want to swim with pigs.
Really want that hot-pink Prius.
Hot-pink Prius. Come on.
And stop!
$4,000. Whoo!
I'll take it.
Three more spins. Take it away.
I really want that $10,000, hot-pink Prius.
And stop!
Move two spaces. That's $6,000.
Whoo!
And another spin. Ooh, keep this feeling alive.
Come on. Hot-pink Prius.
$25,000. Hot-pink Prius.
And stop!
$2,750. Whoo!
That number loves you.
I tell ya, I tell ya.
Two more spins. You're over 40 grand now.
Here we go. Come on, hot-pink Prius.
Hot-pink Prius. Let's win that.
Go!
One more spin. I'll take it.
$2,500. You picked up a spin.
That spin's another opportunity to win.
Oh, yeah. Okay.
Hot-pink Prius. $10,000.
I'll swim with pigs.
Look at that dragon boat. Oh, my gosh.
And stop!
Big Bucks! [ Screams ]
Oh, my God!
Janet, you're shaking. You got this.
Okay.
One more spin, alright?
You've got $68,563 in cash and prizes in this bank already.
Oh, Nelly.
One more spin. No Whammy, guys.
Still hoping for that hot-pink Prius.
I'd love a dragon boat for my team.
Let's go with $25,000.
And stop!
[ Screaming ] It's the dragon boat!
[ Imitates grunting ] Dragon boat.
Yes, yes, yes.
Yay, survivors!
Whoo!
I mean, you're coming with me on that boat.
Oh, my gosh.
You've just finished this round with $68,563
plus the dragon boat, which is worth...
$14,000.
Janet, $82,563 in the bank.
That includes Angel City, that includes the dragon boat.
Yes, I'm so stoked.
You have a very big decision to make right now...
I have a huge decision.
...because you can take these incredible prizes
and you can walk away right now,
or you can press your luck, stay, and play Round 3.
It's the only time we do this --
we double the Big Bucks to $50,000.
Before you make this very important decision,
I just want to show you one more prize
that you would be playing for
if you decide to stay and press your luck.
Okay, Elizabeth.
Let's show Janet what else she could be playing for tonight.
It's Tunisia and Italy.
Whoo!
Oh, my God.
This is a trip for six for a three-week retreat
to retrace your grandfather's journey in Tunisia
with a private driver,
plus you'll travel through Sicily,
you end up on the west coast of Italy.
What does that mean, retrace your grandfather's steps?
My grandfather was a World War II veteran,
and he participated in World War II
in Tunisia and Italy.
Before he got Alzheimer's disease,
he took us to Italy when we were 5,
just to do one last hurrah and said,
"That is where I want to be.
That is where I want to end up after I pass away."
And for us to do that as a family,
they are the most special human beings to me ever,
this would mean the world to me.
I'm so emotional over this.
[ Chuckles ]
What do you think, Mom?
This would be super special to get to do it together.
Get to bring the grandkids this time. Yes.
Yeah, it would be amazing.
[ Sighs ]
Hoo, well, this is the decision.
Are you gonna stay and play, or are you gonna walk away?
Allie: Press your luck.
That's a trip of a lifetime.
I think I got to press my luck.
Oh, she wants to do it.
Let's do it. Whoa!
I'm excited because it means
Tunisia and Italy goes on the Big Board.
You have three spins to take. Whoo!
Good luck, Janet.
No Whammy. No Whammy.
I would love that hot-pink Prius.
Trip to Italy.
No Whammies.
And stop!
[ Cheers and applause ]
[ Laughing ] Oh, my God!
[ Laughing ] Oh, my God.
Well, I mean, someone's watching out for her.
Whoo-whee! You did pick up a spin.
You now have $132,563 in your bank.
Three spins, okay? We got this.
Hoo, make that button work for you.
Come on. Come on.
Okay, come on. Hot-pink Prius.
$50,000.
I'll take anything at this point.
And stop!
[ Screams ] Oh, my God!
Whoo!
I mean, what?! What?!
Oh, this show! Wha-a-t?!
Oh, my God. Oh, my God!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Ah!
Oh, my God.
That is gonna be worth a lot of money, that.
Ooh, Nelly. That's a three-week trip
for six people through Italy.
We're gonna find out what the trip is worth
when "Press Your Luck" returns right after this.
Come on back. How can you miss it?
[ Cheers and applause ]
Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
We're in the middle of Round 3.
Janet is on fire.
Holy moly!
There's $132,563 in the bank,
and I'm about to add a bunch more.
You just won a trip to Tunisia and Italy
for your entire family
to go retrace your grandfather's World War II steps.
Incredible veteran. We thank him for his service.
Let's show Janet how much is going in the bank.
$95,027.
[ Cheers and applause ]
You have $227,590.
The energy in this room has kept that Whammy at bay.
Come on.
Two more spins to get through.
Hit the Big Bucks!
Come on, give me that hot Prius.
I want that $50,000 and a hot Prius.
And stop!
Whoo! Okay, a decision.
You can have a kegerator or $11,000 and a spin.
What do you think?
Let's go with the kegerator.
Kegerator, alright. Alright.
How much is it worth?
$2,499.
You now have over $230,000 in your bank.
One more spin.
One spin, one spin, one spin.
-Come on. Come on. -Come on, baby.
You got it.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Hold on. Hold on.
Okay, a hot-pink Prius.
Hot-pink Prius.
Let's do this. Let's do this.
$10,000.
And stop!
Whoooooo!
Oh, my God!
Whoo! We made it through.
Janet, you held on.
You have $234,339 in this bank.
That includes Angel City, the dragon boat,
Tunisia and Italy. Yeah, wow.
This is a very big decision.
You have zero Whammies.
You have not met the Whammy yet.
Before we decide...
No. No. No, I can't.
Just let me tell you what you'd be playing for, okay?
I can't handle it.
The Big Bucks are about to jump up
to $75,000.
How many times have you hit the Big Bucks already tonight?
Ugh, good point. So many times.
Now, before you make your decision,
and I know it's gonna be a family decision,
but before you make it,
let's take a look at your final personalized prize.
Oh, gosh, can I handle it?
Aah! It's a tiny house.
-[ Laughs ] -What?
-Whoo! -Yes.
This tiny house will be customized for you
with a Murphy bed, complete kitchen, and bathroom.
Okay, tell me about this dream house of yours.
So, you know, like I said,
I live on a college campus right now,
and I cannot afford to own a home.
To be able to, like, put this on a plot of land
and be able to live near my family,
this would be everything.
Alright, so what do we think?
Mom?
What do you guys think?
I think we're good.
Mom thinks you're done,
you should leave, you should walk away.
Allie, what do you think?
She has gotten so much already, and it's so great,
but a house also?
[ Audience shouting ]
I just want to also remind you,
if your total hits
$500,000 in this game, you're a millionaire.
Whoo-whee! How much is that tiny house?
And you are in real striking distance
of hitting that number.
Not many people get this far in the Bonus Game
with no Whammies. Yeah.
This is a real tough decision for you, Janet.
I know it is.
Okay.
No Whammies.
Tiny house on the board.
What am I thinking?
Oh, no. I don't know.
Family is everything,
and we're going on that trip to Tunisia and Italy.
Whoo!
She's walking away. I'm walking away.
That's it. Janet has decided to call it quits.
♪♪
-Whoo! -Ooh, Nelly.
Come on over. This is incredible.
Janet, you are a huge winner tonight.
Neil, remind everybody.
What is Janet going home with tonight?
Congratulations, Janet.
You've won an oversized chess set,
a private yacht charter in Miami,
an Infiniti Q50...
Whoo!
...a kegerator,
a grandfather clock,
season tickets to the Angel City Football Club...
Whoo!
...a dragon boat...
Whoo!
...trips to Tunisia and Italy...
Unreal. Unreal.
...plus $123,842 in cash,
bringing your grand total to...
$307,961 in cash and prizes.
Allie: Are you kidding me? Congratulations, Janet.
Whoo!
Thank you all for watching.
Come back for more "Press Your Luck."
We'll see you next time. Why would you ever miss it?
This is amazing.
♪♪
I mean, what? I'm so happy for you.
She goes, "I really wanted the hot-pink Prius,"
but I'm like, "We're good with an Infiniti." [ Laughter ]
