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 Haven Studios in Hollywood,
it's time to press your luck!
[ Cheers and applause ]
And now here's the host of "Press Your Luck,"

Welcome to "Press Your Luck," where taking big risks
can win you big bucks.
Let's meet our contestants.
[ Cheers and applause ]
A pharmaceutical sales rep from Yardley, Pennsylvania.
Please welcome Julie!
Hi, Elizabeth.
A Postal Service worker from Wills Point, Texas.
It's Shanel!
Hi, Elizabeth!
And, finally, a stay-at-home dad
from Lake Tahoe, California.
Say hello to Presley.
Hi, Elizabeth!
Good luck to all three of you.
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 our bonus game for a shot at $1 million!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Well, first things first. Let's earn some spins.
I have three questions for this round.
Here we go.
Kris Kross wanted you to do it.
The Pointer Sisters wanted you to do it for their love.
Julie. Jump.
And House of Pain wanted you to do it around.
Shanel, was the word I was looking for
"jump," "shop," "look"?
Jump.
What do you think, Presley?
It's jump. It sure is jump, everybody!
That means Julie picked up three spins.
Shanel picked up a spin. And Presley's picked up a spin.
Whoo! Alright. Question 2.
A Halloween survey last year by OnePoll
asked parents how long it took their kids
to polish off their entire trick-or-treating haul.
The average answer was "one."
Was it one day, one week, or one month?
Shanel. One week.
Julie. One month.
What do you think, Presley?
I'm gonna say one week.
I put the candy out of sight, out of mind,
and they forget about it.
They never finish it, which is fantastic.
Because my husband and I finish it.
[ Laughter ]
The answer in the poll was one week!
Whoo!
Shanel picked up three spins, and Presley picked up a spin.
Question 3. It's your last chance to pick up spins
to take to the Big Board.
In European folklore,
these mythical creatures wore red, pointy hats,
had long, white beards, and lived underground.
Julie. Gnomes.
One appeared with Juliet in a kids movie,
a roaming one appeared in ads for Travelocity,
and one went missing from my garden last week,
and I want it back, Whammy!
Shanel, is it gnomes, trolls, flamingos?
-Gnomes. -What do you think, Presley?
-It's definitely gnomes. -It is, in fact, gnomes!
Great job, Julie. Yes!
So Julie just picked up three more spins for a total of six.
Shanel picked up a spin for five.
And Presley's on the board with another one for three.
Now let's see if we can turn these spins into cash
because it's time to take on the Big Board!
Let's go!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Whoo! It's time! There it is.
Oh. There she is.
We've got thousands of dollars in epic prizes
on our Big Board tonight, but beware of the Whammy!
[ Sour note plays ]
If you land on one, he takes away all your cash and prizes,
leaving you with nothing.
And if you rack up four Whammies,
you're out of the game.
Alright. Let's get to it.
We start with the player who has the fewest spins,
and that is you, Presley.
Are you ready to press your luck?
I'm ready to press my luck!
Hit it! Let's go!
Let's get a personal deejay!
And stop!
$2,000 in the bank. There it is.
-Good job, Presley! -Two more spins.
Press your luck or pass those spins?
I came here to press my luck!
Let's go! Let's get those dirt bikes.
And stop!
Ooh. $2,150.
-$4,150 in the bank. -Alright.
Do you want to press it, or do you want to pass it?
I'm gonna press my luck!
Good luck.
Alright! Let's go to clown school!
Let's go!
$2,000 again.
Julie: Yeah! Nice job!
Alright, Presley. $6,150 in the bank.
Shanel, you are up next.
Are you ready to take on this Big Board?
Press my luck!
Go for it.
Come on, Big Board! His-and-her watch collection!
And stop!
Ooh. Move Two Spaces. That's the Big Bucks.
$5,000. Those are the Big Bucks.
Shanel, four more spins. How you feeling?
Press your luck or pass those spins?
Ooh! I feel good, Elizabeth! I'm gonna press my luck!
I bet.
Come on, Big Board. I'm gonna press my luck.
And stop!
$2,250.
Yes! Good job!
Shanel, you're now in the lead.
Three more spins. How you feeling?
Elizabeth, I'm gonna press my luck!
Good luck, Shanel.
Give me that watch collection!
And stop!
$1,600.
$8,850.
Press your luck or pass those spins?
I think I'm gonna press my luck!
Alright! Personal deejay!
His-and-her watch collection!
Big bucks! And stop!
$2,000.
$10,850.
Oh, my God. One more spin.
You want to press it, or you want to pass it?
I think I'm gonna pass that spin to Presley.
Whenever you pass, your spins go to the opponent
with the most money. Right now that's you, Presley.
Bam. There it is. And guess what.
You're gonna take it right now.
Press your luck. Let's do it. Alright.
I want those big bucks!
I still want to go to Niagara Falls!
Let's get the deejay! And stop!
[ Sour note plays ] A Whammy!
Ooh!
Top answers on the board. "What are you?"
Broke!
Survey says...
Whammies: You're broke!
[ Cackling ]
Wow. That is how this game is played.
Presley, I'm sorry.
Julie, it is now your shot at our Big Board.
Are you ready to press your luck?
I've never been more ready, Elizabeth.
The time is now, Julie.
Come on, Board!
I want circus school for my daughter!
And stop!
$1,500 in the bank. Alright.
I'll take it. I'm good.
Press your luck or pass those spins?
I'm gonna press my luck!
Hey!
Alright. I really want circus school!
Anything but a Whammy! And stop!
Whoo! $1,500.
You have $3,000. Four more spins.
Press 'em or pass 'em, Julie?
I'm gonna press my luck, Elizabeth!
Alright. Circus school! Don't do me wrong, Board!
And stop!
Whoo! $1,505.
$4,505 in the bank. Three more spins.
You gonna keep pressing your luck?
I am going to press my luck!
Alright! Let's go!
Circus school! Big bucks!
And stop!
50 garden gnomes. Okay?
I guarantee one of those gnomes is mine and the Whammy took it, but...
50 garden gnomes is worth how much for Julie's bank?
$6,300.
Julie, you now trail Shanel
by a mere 45 bucks.
Do you want to press your luck with those final two spins?
I'm gonna press my luck.
Alright.
No Whammies. Big bucks! Stop!
$1,675. Julie, you're now in the lead.
One final spin.
Do you want to press it, or do you want to pass it to Shanel?
I am going to pass the spin.
She's done. Shanel, she used the same strategy you did.
I know. Oh, man.
Alright. This is it.
Personal deejay! Come on, Big Board!
And stop!
Niagara Falls!
[ Cheers and applause ]
That was no Whammy. That was a trip to Niagara Falls.
How much is Niagara Falls worth for Shanel's bank?
$3,260.
Shanel -- the big winner of Round 1. $14,110.
What a game so far. Don't go anywhere.
"Press Your Luck" is coming back right after this.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
Now, before we jump into Round 2,
let's learn a little more about our contestants.
So, Julie, you're from Yardley, Pennsylvania.
Tell me about yourself.
I am a proud single mother
to an amazing and sassy 15-year-old daughter, Miah.
Aren't they all?
And every Friday night, my daughter gets together
with her three friends and they have game night.
-Okay. -They started with board games,
and then they went to game shows.
And every Friday, I hear,
"Prize-A-Palooza! Prize-A-Palooza!"
It's my favorite square.
So I am here to show her
that this can happen if you set your mind to it.
Oh. That's amazing.
You were on the show "Whammy!",
which is like the stepchild of this show from back in the day.
Yes, and I won $6,000 and a camcorder.
-Wow. -And I was telling my daughter
about it, and she goes, "Mom, what's a camcorder?"
I bet she did.
So I'd love to win a prize that she knows about!
Well, it's very nice to have you here, Julie.
Thank you so much. Welcome back.
Good luck tonight. Thank you.
Shanel's from Wills Point, Texas.
Shanel, tell me about yourself.
Yes, Elizabeth.
I am a United States postal worker,
where I've been for 24 years, yes!
[ Cheers and applause ]
I also have some wonderful pets.
I have two dogs, two horses. Oh.
And I have my boa constrictor.
-Your boa constrictor? -Yes!
Does she eyeball your dogs and your horses?
I don't let her get near them.
I bet! [ Laughs ]
But she sleeps with me sometimes.
And my husband don't mind.
Wow. You're a brave woman.
Julie kind of looks like she's gonna have a heart attack talking about this boa.
I have such a phobia of snakes. Just the word.
Well, Shanel, welcome to "Press Your Luck." Good luck tonight.
-Thank you. -Thanks for being here.
Presley from Lake Tahoe, California.
Yes. How are you? Tell me a little bit about yourself.
I'm a new dad to my beautiful daughter, Sawyer Binx.
Congratulations. Thank you.
She's just this chunky, little, drooly Saint Bernard of a baby.
Oh, yeah.
She is growing up so fast, too.
And you're married? Yes, I am married.
I've been married for six years
to my beautiful, smart, kind nurse wife, Kaitlin.
Oh. We love a nurse.
I'm also a proud trans man.
I've been transitioning for eight years now,
and she has been with me every second of the way.
Aww. I can't imagine a better partner...
She sounds amazing.
...to have in this journey.
Well, welcome to "Press Your Luck."
Congrats on everything so far tonight.
Let's get back into the game, shall we?
-Yes. Let's do it! -It's time for Round 2.
I've got four questions this time. Here we go.
I love spiders!
Did you believe that? At home? Anyone? No?
As reported by iHeartMedia,
spiders are not the most feared creature amongst Americans.
So tell me, what slippery animal do Americans fear the most?
Presley?
Snakes.
Julie, is it snakes, rats, sharks?
I got to go with my own fear and snakes,
so I'm gonna say snakes.
Okay. What do you think, Shanel?
I bet she's not afraid of snakes.
Snakes! [ Laughs ]
But you believe other people are?
Yes.
It is, indeed, snakes that people fear the most.
That means Julie picked up a spin.
Shanel picked up a spin.
And Presley picked up three spins for that one.
Alright. Question 2.
They became the face of the Philadelphia music scene
in the 1990s and had a string of harmonizing hits
including bops like -- Julie.
Boyz II Men.
Including bops like "Motown Philly"
and slow jams like "End of the Road."
What chart-topping music group am I talking about?
Shanel, is it Boyz II Men,
the Roots, Bell Biv DeVoe?
Boyz II Men.
-What do you think, Presley? -Boyz II Men. For sure.
Man, that Julie is quick on that buzzer.
And she is right again.
I'm from Philadelphia!
Boyz II Men for three spins, bringing your total to four.
A spin for Shanel for two.
And a spin for Presley, bringing his total to four.
Question 3.
"Spilling the tea" means gossiping,
but if I were spelling the tea, as in the hot beverage,
how many E's would I need to spell "Sleepytime tea"?
Presley. Four.
Julie, is it four, five, three?
Four.
-Shanel. -Four.
It is, in fact, four. That's it.
That means Julie picked up a spin.
Shanel picked up a spin.
And, Presley, three more spins for you.
Alright. Question 4.
Flashback to mid-'90s.
The Alamodome, San Antonio, night.
Fans cheer as Tim Derk, the Spurs coyote mascot,
takes aim and launches what into the stands
for the first time in sports history?
Presley. A T-shirt.
Julie, is it a T-shirt, hot dog, basketball?
I'm gonna say T-shirt.
-What do you think, Shanel? -T-shirt.
It is, in fact, the T-shirt cannon
that I'm talking about!
That means Julie picked up a spin for a total of six.
Shanel has a total of four after that spin.
Presley, three more spins for you,
bring your total to 10 spins.
That is all the questions I have in this round.
Now...
who wants a T-shirt?!

Ohh! I love it!
Oh, let's go to the Big Board! It's time to go!

Ohh!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Whoo! Alright. It's Round 2.
So we are doubling the Big Bucks to $10,000.
And we've got a special square on the board this season.
It's called the Big 4-0.
To help us celebrate 40 years since "Press Your Luck"
first premiered in 1983.
If you land on that square,
you win 40 of... something incredible!
I promise. I promise, I promise.
Yes! Come on! Come on!
Presley, you have the least amount of money,
so you'll be spinning first.
You got 10 big spins to take your chances at this Big Board.
Are you ready?
I am ready to press my luck!
Take it away, Presley.
Let's go! Let's get those big bucks!
And stop!
Ooh! Big decision.
Ooh!
Picking a corner.
I'm going with the World's Largest Food Fight.
[ Cheers and applause ]
It's the World's Largest Food Fight...in Spain!

How much is the Largest Food Fight in Spain worth?
$7,352 in the bank.
-Alright. -That's a good decision.

On your right, you'll see the Hollywood Sign!
And on your left, you will see absolutely nothing.

Holy smokes! Is that Elizabeth Banks?!
[ Zip! ] No photos.
Oh, Presley. I'm so sorry. You hit the Whammy.

How are you feeling, Presley?
I'm gonna press my luck, Elizabeth!
Good luck, Presley.
Let's go! Double my money.

Take The Lead and one spin.

Do you want to hold fate in your own hands,

She's gonna pass it!
Julie, this is for the game.

Julie is gonna play for cash and prizes of up to $1 million.
Anything can happen. Come back after this.
-I can't believe it. -Oh, my God.
-What a game. -I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
So far tonight, Julie has won cash and prizes
equaling $67,080.
That includes 150 garden gnomes.
I love garden gnomes!
All of that is yours to keep
no matter what else happens tonight.
But now it's just you versus our Big Board.
And you could go home a millionaire tonight, Julie!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Now, you have a couple amazing ladies over here supporting you.
Who's here with you tonight?
I have my Big Bucks Besties!
Yes!
My dearest friend since I was 8 years old, Jazmin.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And who's this lady?
She represents a group of women at home
that we call the Jew Crew.
And they are beautiful, supportive women.
And Mindi is here representing the Crew!
Elizabeth: I love it.
Jazmin, what has kept you guys bonded all this time?
Us being single moms together
and both having children that have a lot of medical needs
and special needs, it's loving each other
and supporting each other.
Mindi: That's Julie.
And that's who Julie is as a person. Yes.
Thank you so much!
But I know that there is one special lady
who couldn't make it tonight.
Your sassy daughter.
My beautiful daughter, Miah.
I have a picture of her in my pocket right here.
This is her.
She wrote me a note on the back that I can open
at a quandary point, if you will.
Oh. Wow. So, she is my inspiration.
When she was 2 years old,
she was a code blue and we almost lost her.
And she is the happiest, most amazing child
who has been through so much.
And I just want to show her that girls can do anything.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Go, Miah!
Did she give you any words of advice
before you came on the show?
As I was leaving, she said, "Go get 'em, Jackpot Julie!"
"Jackpot Julie." Wow.
Julie, you're gonna face off
against the Whammy over five rounds.
The longer you stay in our game,
the bigger the bucks get on the board.
And if you make it to our final round,
our Big Bucks Bonanza,
one spin could be worth $100,000!
[ Cheers and applause ]
But those Whammies are still out there.
Four Whammies, you're out of the game altogether.
Now, if your bank in the bonus game ever hits $500,000,
this game is over because we automatically bump
your total winnings to $1 million, Julie.
Oh, my God. I cannot believe I'm here.
Now, in this first round, the Big Bucks are worth $10,000.
But there is always more than just cash on the Big Board
at "Press Your Luck" because we pick out prizes
personalized just for our contestants.
And, Julie, I'm not even gonna tell you
about this first one.
She is.
Hi, Julie. I'm Laura Wright. Oh, my God!
But you may know me better
as "General Hospital's" Carly Spencer.
Oh, my God! No way!
For your next prize, you are flying first class
to the set of "General Hospital" in Los Angeles.
Oh, my... I will show you around
and introduce you to the rest of the cast.
And best of all, your "General Hospital" debut
as a background actor.
You get to be on "General Hospital."
You get back to winning those big bucks and this prize,
and I'll see you soon.
Carly!
It's Carly! Carly! Oh, my God!
You're an avid viewer of "General Hospital"
is what I heard. I'm not ashamed to say
that I record it and watch it every day.
And Carly -- she gives me motivation.
Let's put "General Hospital" up on the board for Jackpot Julie.
There it is. Dying.
I want to show you a second prize.
Are you ready? No, but yes.
Show Julie what it is.
It's baking classes.
Oh, my God!
This is in-person and online baking classes.
We will outfit your kitchen with baking equipment and supplies.
My daughter, she hasn't been able to play sports
because of restrictions for her heart.
She has found a love of baking.
She's found her passion.
And so this is for her!
I think it's gonna be for both of you
'cause I can tell you want to support her in this dream.
We're gonna put this on the board
for the two of you to have baking classes together.
Amazing. Alright. Should we get into the game?
We gotta start the winning.
In Round 1, you start off with five spins.
Start building that bank, Julie.
-Come on, Jules! -I came here for this.
"General Hospital." Baking classes! Money!
Stop!
$3,000.
Okay. That's good. That's good. I'm happy. Okay.

at the hospital of your choice.
This includes Nintendo Switches, iPads,
and every latest handheld gaming device.
Tell me about this prize.
One of the things that really helped when Miah was sick
was the Children's Heart Foundation of Nevada.
They have a place where kids can go before surgery
to make surgery less scary,
but there aren't as many things for teenagers.
Sure. And she really wants
to build up that teen department
for the Children's Heart Foundation.
Amazing.
And I want to give back 'cause they gave me so much.
Alright. We're gonna put these electronic supplies
for the teens at the hospital up on the board
in honor of Miah.
[ Cheers and applause ]
