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!
[ Crowd cheering ]
Hello! Oh!
How are you guys doing?
Welcome to "Press Your Luck," the game
where one little thing can change your life.
Let's meet our three players.
[ Crowd cheering ]
A nurse and a mom from Virginia, say hello to Dalia, everybody.
Hi, Elizabeth! [ Screams ]
He's a graduate student from Indianapolis, Indiana.
Maximilian's here.
Hi, mom and dad! Hi, America!
And, finally, a girl dad from York, Pennsylvania.
Welcome Marcus to the show.
Hey, Elizabeth! Great to be here!
Good luck to all three of you.
Tonight you are taking on our Big Board.
And it is loaded with cash and prizes,
and 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 to our bonus game for a shot at a million dollars.
[ Crowd cheering ]
First things first, let's earn some spins.
I have three questions for this round. Here we go.
It's no surprise that singer Ty Dolla $ign
includes an actual dollar sign in his name.
I thought about doing it myself
because it's Banks, that's right.
[ Laughter ]
But if Ty Dolla $ign moved south of the border
and changed his name to Mexico's national currency --
Maximilian. Peso.
He'd be known as Ty what Sign?
Dalia, is it Ty Peso Sign, Ty Yen Sign, or Ty Pound Sign?
Ty Peso Sign.
What do you think, Marcus? Ty Peso Sign.
Ty Peso Sign is correct.
So Dalia picked up a spin, Maximilian picked up
three spins, and Marcus picked up a spin.
Question two.
According to a recent survey by Pew Research,
out of every four parents, how many said
that managing their teenage kids phone time was a priority?
Maximilian. I'd say three.
Dalia, is it three out of four,
two out of four, four out of four?
I'm going to say three out of four.
What do you think, Marcus? I'm going to also say three out of four.
75% of parents
do want to manage their teenage kids' phone time.
So Dalia picked up a spin, Maximilian picked up
three spins, and Marcus picked up a spin -- great job.
Here's our last question of this round.
In the theater, it's bad luck to say the name Macbeth.
Here on a game show set,
we try not to say the name Michael Larson,
the infamous contestant set to be played
by Golden Globe winner Paul Walter Hauser
in an upcoming movie about a legendary 1984 scandal
on what -- Marcus?
"Press Your Luck."
On what game show?
Dalia, is it "Press Your Luck," "Tic-Tac-Dough," "Card Sharks"?
"Press Your Luck." What do you think Maximilian?
Press Your Luck.
It is of course "Press Your Luck."
Dalia picked up a spin for a total of three,
Maximilian picked up a spin for a total of seven,
and Marcus picked up three spins for a total of five.
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.
♪♪
Whoo! Whoo-hoo-hoo!

We've got thousands of dollars
and some spectacular prizes on our Big Board tonight.
But beware of the Whammy.
Rack up four Whammies, you're out of the game.
Shall we get to it? Go for it Dalia, three spins.
I want that dinner in Paris.
Private investigator looks amazing.
And stop!
1,900. On the board.
You can press your luck with those two spins
or you can pass them.
I'm pressing my luck! Big bucks!
Come on!

Press your luck or pass that spin?
I'm going one more time.
No Whammies! Pick up a Big Bucks!
Add A One. Come on!
And stop!
1,500.
Dalia's got 4,900 in the bank.
And, Marcus, it's your turn with the Big Board.
Are you ready? I am ready.
Take it away.
All right, guys, I want that dinner in Paris.
Big bucks, no Whammies.
And stop!
$2,000.
All right, Marcus, you're on the board,
Four more spins. Press or pass?

Oh! Oh, that's a Whammy.
Whammy! Whammy!
[ Laughs ] Don't quit on me now, money.
[ Laughs ]
Whammy! Whammy! Whammy! Whammy!
Marcus, three spins left,
Press your luck or pass those spins?
I'm pressing my luck, Elizabeth.
I got to make some money.
All right, come on, give me that dinner in Paris, makeover.
Come on, I'll take that pedal boat.
And stop!
2,000, right back in it.
I got to keep going, Elizabeth,
I got to get some money.
All right, press your luck.
All right. Dinner in Paris!
I'll take Add A One. Big bucks, no Whammies.
And stop!
1,505. Still in second place.
What do you think?
I'm going to press my luck. All right, Marcus.
All right, come on, big bucks, no Whammies!
I'll take that big bucks, no Whammies.
Dinner in Paris! Cart!
Stop!
1,600.
And you are now in the lead, Marcus.
And, Maximilian, are you ready to take on the Big Board?
I am so ready, Elizabeth. I'm going to press my luck!
Let's go! Go for it.
All right, I see dinner in Paris.
My boyfriend and I would love that together!
Come on, snow cone machine. Who doesn't want that?
Big bucks.
And stop!
Oh!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
It's fine. Out of the way early.
Shake it off.
Sorry, Maximilian.
I got to press my luck, Elizabeth, come on!
Snow cone machine, I see that five grand.
Pedal boat, that sounds fun,
Come on, big bucks, no Whammies.
And stop!
$2,000. All right!
All right, you're on the board.
You're in third place. Press your luck?
I'm going to press my luck!
Go for it!
All right, dinner in Paris with the boyfriend, big bucks.
And stop!
1,500. All right.
Four more spins.
I'm in third place, I got to keep going,
I've got to press my luck! Let's go, Add A One,
that would be awesome. Come on, big bucks.
And stop! Oh!
Oh, my!
[ Roaring ]
It's all good.
Whamzilla.
Mm. Whammy-licious.
Maximilian.
Do you want to press your luck, risk it again?
I'm going to go ahead and pass them to my friend, Marcus.
Three spins, you have to take them, good luck.
All right. I want that shrimp cocktail.
Come on big bucks, Add A One.
And stop!
Whammy.
♪ Rub a dub, dub, there's no money in your tub ♪
Ohh.
Aah!
The water is cold, I swear.
Because you hit the Whammy,
those two spins have now moved into your earned column.
You can press your luck with those two spins,
or you can pass them, they'd go over to Dalia.
I don't want to go on to the next round
and possibly get a third Whammy,
so I'm going to pass them to Dalia.
Okay, that's all right. That's all right.
Dalia, you have to take them.
It's all right. Good luck.
All right, come on, that dinner in Paris is calling my name.
I see the big money up there, shrimp cocktail.
And stop!
Oh!
Oh, my gosh. Whammy again.
[ Cat meowing ] Oh, no!
[ Dog barking ] Hold it, Fang, hold it,
-Don't forget the money! -I know. We'll shake this off.
We are spreading the Whammy love here tonight.
Everybody's got zero dollars in the bank.
Whoo! Dalia, one more spin.
Do you want to take it or do you want to pass it?
I think I'm going to pass the spin.
Since the other two contestants are currently tied,
you get to choose.
Maximilian, I'm passing it to you.
Okay. Maximilian, take it away.
Fine, there's big bucks on that board.
I need that snow cone cart, I see big bucks, no Whammies.
Please, no Whammies.
And stop!
Whoo! It's a pedal boat.
All right.
How much is the pedal boat worth for the bank?
$4,500, fam.
All right, that is the end of round one.
"Press Your Luck" comes back right after this.
Whoo!
Wow.
Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
Before we jump into round two,
let's learn a bit more about our contestants.
So. Dalia, you're from Virginia. Tell us a bit about yourself.
My parents immigrated here 40 years ago from Egypt
to give my family and my siblings
ultimately the American dream.
That's so amazing. What do you do for work?
I'm a nurse practitioner, and I've done that
for almost the past 10 years, love what I do.
And you have a family, right?
I do. I have my wonderful husband
who I've been married to for 15 years.
15 years.
And together we have two beautiful little girls.
They are my world and my family's my world,
and I'm so blessed and excited to be here, so, yes.
We are so happy to have you.
Thank you.
Maximilian from Indianapolis, Indiana.
Yes. Tell us about yourself.
Right now I'm getting my masters
in political communication at the American University.
I hear you're a big fan of game shows.
I am. I have been a game show buff
since before I could talk, really.
While other kids were watching Cartoon Network
or Nickelodeon,
I was sat on the TV watching old reruns of game shows.
Just absolutely love them with all of my heart.
I mean, I was voted most likely to be on a game show
in high school, and here I am!
Wow. Checking that box.
Amen, I have something to talk about at the reunion.
Oh, my goodness, Maximilian, welcome to "Press Your Luck."
Thank you so much.
I'm glad we're fulfilling a dream for you.
Yeah, I'm living it right now, it's insane.
Marcus is from York, Pennsylvania.
Marcus, tell us a bit about yourself.
All right. So I've been married
to my beautiful wife for 24 years.
Congratulations, Marcus.
We met in a casino in Mississippi, I was a dealer,
she was a trainer,
and we didn't really like each other at first.
Oh. But I put my magic on her,
and she fell in love with me.
So we've been together ever since.
Tell me about the rest of your family.
We have four beautiful daughters.
Sometimes it's rough living with all women.
I'm the only man in the house,
and I'm a big sports fan and none of them like sports.
Really? I'm a big Cowboys fan.
I have some grandkids and I'm trying to find me a sports fan.
All right, you're going to train up the grandkids
to watch the Cowboys with you.
That's right.
Marcus, we're so glad you're here.
Welcome to "Press Your Luck." Good luck to all of you tonight.
Let's jump back into the game, okay?
It's time for round two. I have four questions this time.
Here we go.
Hickory dickory dock, the mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck 11:45, so tell me,
what number was the big hand -- Dalia?
Nine.
What number was the big hand pointing to?
Dalia said it's nine.
Maximilian, is it nine, eleven, five?
I'm going to say nine.
What do you think, Marcus?
I say nine also.
It is nine. Dalia got it right.
Dalia picked up three spins, Maximilian picked up one spin,
Marcus picked up a spin.
Question two.
Welcome to the celebrity grammar convention,
where everyone has last names that are parts of speech.
If your name is a person, place, or a thing,
head to the nouns seminar with Nick Cannon and Mike Trout.
Up next, it's action words in the ver-- Dalia.
Verb.
Up next, it's action words
in the verb Q&A with Helen Hunt and Ja'Marr Chase.
But if the speakers were Howard Stern,
Emily Blunt, and Sterling K. Brown,
you'd be attending a panel about
which descriptive part of speech?
Maximilian, is it verb, adjective, adverb?
Adjective.
What do you think, Marcus?
I say adjective also.
It is in fact an adjective!
So, Dalia, I'm sorry, no spins for you,
but Maximilian picked up a spin and Marcus picked up a spin.
Question three.
Breakfast in bed might be the go-to way to celebrate,
but according to the most recent data from OpenTable,
the busiest dining out day of the year is what --
Oh, Maximilian.
Saturday.
It what spring holiday?
Dalia, is it Saturday, Father's Day, Mother's Day?
I'm going to say Mother's Day.
What do you think, Marcus? It's definitely Mother's Day.
It is definitely Mother's Day.
Dalia picked up a spin, Marcus picked up a spin.
Question four.
If you're 5,280 feet above sea level,
enjoying a monster dog and an ice cold Coors Light
at Empower Field at Mile High,
you're at the home stadium for what NFL team?
Marcus. The Denver Broncos.
Dalia, is it the Denver Broncos, the Colts, the Seahawks?
Broncos.
What do you think, Maximilian?
He seems like a sports guy,
so I'm going to go for the Broncos.
[ Laughs ] Not me.
Maximilian, that was a great decision.
Because it is, of course, the Denver Broncos.
Dalia picked up a spin bringing her total to five.
Maximilian picked up a spin for three.
And, Marcus, three spins there at the end for a total of six.
It is time to take these spins to the big board
to win cash and prizes. Let's go!
Come on!
♪♪
Oh! Oh!
It's round two,
so we are doubling the Big Bucks to $10,000.
Let's get to it.
Normally we start with the player
who has the least amount of money,
but since there's a tie, we'll start with the player
with the fewest spins, and, Dalia, that's you.
Take it away, Dalia!
Come on, board!
I see the Take The Lead, the Ford F-150!
I see lots of good things up there, come on board.
And stop!
$2,000. All right.
Would you like to press your luck or pass?
I'm pressing my luck! Have fun.
All right, big bucks, I see Ford F-150.
Lots of amazing things up there.
And stop!
4,000.
All right, Dalia, you're now in the lead.
You have three more spins. Press your luck or pass?
I'm pressing my luck.
All right, go for it, Dalia!
All right, big bucks! Big bucks up there!
And stop!
5,500!
Whoo!
Two more spins,
How you feeling? You want to press your luck
or pass those spins?
I'm going to pass my spins.
Maximilian, that means those spins are going to you.
Boom.
But first, Marcus is up with his six spins on the Big Board.
And he will take those spins when "Press Your Luck"
continues right after this.
Get it.

Marcus, you are now in the lead.
I wanted the lead.
So, I think I might have to pass this time to Dalia,
I'm going to have to pass.

The big 5-0! Come on.
And stop!
Move two spaces, that's $6,000.

I'm passing back to Marcus with all my love!
Passing it right on back! With all my love.
Oh, Marcus, got to avoid the Whammy,

-Broke! -Survey says...
[ Bell dinging ] You're broke.

Yeah.
Because you hit the Whammy,
that spin moves into your earned column.
You have four spins.
You can do with them what you like.
Press your luck or pass?
I got to get at least into second place.

How much is the tour in Hawaii worth for the bank?
Okay.

You are now in second place.
Maximilian, one more spin.
You can press your luck with that spin,
but if you hit the Whammy, Dalia wins.
Do you want to keep fate in your own hands?
Or do you want to give it to Dalia?
I came here with nothing.
I've had a great time with these two people so far.
I want to keep this in my hands.
If the Whammy wants me to Whammy out, it's fate.
I'm going to press my luck!

how you're feeling right now?
I really can't!
This is the best day of my life.
I -- Oh, my God!
I am so sorry, Dalia, Marcus.
We have to say good night to both of you.
Thank you.
You need to stay with us for the Bonus Game.
When "Press Your Luck" returns after this, come on back.
Oh, my God!
Congratulations. Oh, my God!
Whoo!
I'm not going to have student loan debt anymore.
Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
So far tonight, Maximilian has won cash and prizes
totaling $23,257.
Yes!
That includes the Jurassic Valley zipline tour in Hawaii.
Yes! Whoo!
That is all yours to keep no matter what.
But now, Maximilian,
it's just you versus our big board.
And tonight we're sending you home Maximilianaire.
Amen! Whoo!
[ Cheers and applause ]
How are you feeling after that?
I just feel completely just electric right now.
I did not think I would be standing here right now.
I've never been to Hawaii!
I'm going to Hawaii with my boyfriend now!
I am so excited! I can't believe it.
Okay. Speaking of your boyfriend
that you're taking to Hawaii, introduce me.
Oh, my gosh.
This is my beautiful, incredible boyfriend,
my absolute rock, Colin. Hi, Colin.
Hi. How'd you two meet?
I was watching the show "Only Murders in the Building."
Sure, great show.
And I made post about it that I'm such a huge fan of the show.
I was one season in and I wanted someone
to talk about it with the second season.
And who responded to me
but this man right here.
Oh, Colin!
Oh, my goodness, Selena Gomez brought you together.
I know. Selena, come to the wedding.
I love it!
Colin, tell me about this guy up here.
He puts 110% in everything.
As I'm sure everyone saw in that first round.
Whoo!
And it's just amazing to have a person like this in my life.
Yeah. I love you.
I love you, too. [ Laughing ]
All right. This is the sweetest.
Good luck all around.
Thank you.
Whoo! All right.
Maximilian, you're going to face off against the Whammy
over five rounds.
At the end of each round, you can take whatever money's
in your bank, cash, prizes, and walk away.
Or you can press your luck and play on.
The longer you stay in the game,
the bigger the bucks get on the board.
If you make it to our final round, our Big Bucks Bonanza,
one spin could be worth $100,000.
Whoo! I like the sound of that.
There are still Whammies out there.
Four Whammies, you're out of the game.
If your bank in this bonus game ever reaches $500,000,
we stop and the game's over
because we automatically bump those total winnings
to $1 million.
Whoo!
Make me a Maximilianaire!
All right, in this first round, the Big Bucks are worth $10,000.
Yeah.
But there's always more than just cash up on the board.
We put some nice prizes for our contestants.
Are you excited to see your first one?
I sure am. All right, let's show him.
This is cat stuff.
This is everything for a furry friend.
Toys, cat condo,
spiffy new collar,
even an automatic self-cleaning liter box.
Plus we are including premium liter and food for five years.
Yes! Oh, my God.
Tell me about your cat.
So, we actually don't have a cat yet.
We are moving into a new apartment in a couple of months,
and we absolutely want a cat together.
One of my favorite literary characters is named Tartuffe.
He want into a house
and he made a little mischief when he was there.
So, I want to get a nice little orange cat
and name him Tartuffe. Oh, my goodness.
Well, then, we need to put the cat stuff for the dream cat,
little Tartuffe, up on the board for you.
Tartuffe toys.
All right, let's pick out the second prize just for you.
Here it is.
Flowers for grandma. Aw!
This is fresh flowers delivered every other week
for both grandma and for her favorite library
for the next four years.
She's my grammy,
and I can call her about just about anything.
And she makes my day feel so much better.
She goes to the library all the time and she says,
"Ah, I wish they could spruce it up a little bit more," right?
Sure. And just for her to be able to go to the library
and see those flowers and think of me,
because I live in DC and she lives in Indiana still,
it would just be a nice reminder that we're connected.
Amazing.
Let's put them up on the board for you to win.
All right, you start this round with five spins.
Fill that bank, go for it.
All right. Okay.
Little Tartuffe needs his toys!
I'd love the flowers for grammy, she'd be so thankful!
And stop!
2,500.
All right.
That's how we do it. Four more times, win, win, win.
All right, I see cat toys. Keep it going, keep it going.
Flowers for grammy! Little kitty stuff!
It'd be so awesome.
And stop!
$3,000.
All right. Awesome.
5,500 in the bank,
Three more spins in this round, keep winning.
All right. Flowers for grammy, grammy would love it.
Come on! Little kitty toys for Tartuffe! $10,000.
And stop!
2,700, and you picked up a spin.
Yeah, yeah!
Three more spins, three more opportunities to win!
Awesome. I saw Vancouver on there, too,
I'd love to go to Canada! That would be pretty cool!
10 grand, cat stuff.
And stop!
4,400.
Okay. I'm liking this so far.
Two more spins, 12,600 in the bank.
All right, flowers for grammy!
Please! If anyone deserves it she does!
Flowers for grammy and stop!
4,400.
All right.
17,000 and one more spin in this round.
All right. Give me the cat stuff!
Give me flowers for grammy!
She deserves it, she's so beautiful!
Big bucks.
And stop!
Oh! Big bucks!
Yes!
Decision time. You can take that $27,000
and walk the heck right out of here, Maximilian.
Or you can stay and press your luck in round two
where the Big Bucks jump up to 25,000.
What are you thinking?
Listen, seven-year-old me would be pitching a fit
if I went home now.
I'm going to press my luck!
Yes, he's in it to win it.
I love it when people decide to stay and play
because you know I get to add more prizes to the board.
I forgot.
What do we have this go for Maximilian?
Taco Bell.
Yes!
This is a cheesy gordita crunch,
fiesta burrito, and bean and cheese roll-up
twice a week for, get this, 25 years.
Oh, my God.
There is a Taco Bell right near our apartment.
And I swear to God, if I am having a long horrible day,
Taco Bell is the go-to place.
Oh. Yo quiero Taco Bell.
Yo quiero Taco Bell.
Well, if you're going to eat that much Taco Bell
for the next 25 years,
then we should put this on the board, as well.
It's running gear.
You got to work off that Taco Bell
with new running gear, including 10 pairs of sneakers,
hydration vest, and sweat-proof earbuds for your runs.
Yes!
Yeah, so, my running gear is a little out of date right now.
So this would be fantastic.
Okay, well then let's put the Taco Bell
and the running gear on the board.
It's taco run! Taco run!
Yeah, I can run to Taco Bell with it.
All right.
You are going to play for the taco run
when "Press Your Luck" comes back right after this.
Don't go anywhere.
Whoo! Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
It's round two of the Bonus Game.
Maximilian has $27,000 in his bank.
Yes!
The Big Bucks are now worth $25,000.
You have to take four spins in this round.
I got to go press my luck, Elizabeth!
Let's do it! Let's make you a Maximilianaire!
Come on, Max!
Let's see that taco run! Little stuff for Tartuffe!
Anything but a Whammy.
And stop!
3,700.
All right, all right. I love it, love it!
Yeah, yeah.
Three more spins in this round.
All right. I see 25 grand!
That would be incredible. Grammy's flowers!
Taco run! All sounds awesome.
And stop!
Ohh!
Ugh.
Houston, you have a problem!
It's fine.
Uh-oh. Ee! Ee! Aah!
One giant leap for Whammy kind!
Very violent, the Whammy.
Shake it off.
Whoo, look at that, it's already done.
Two spins left in this round. Let's win it all. Come on!
Come on, big bucks, 25 grand, kitty stuff for Tartuffe!
Anything but a Whammy.
And stop!
Oh, a decision.
It has to be flowers for grammy!
I think so.
Come on!
Flowers for grandma.
And this is worth how much for Maximilian's bank?
$13,440, bang.
Oh, my God!
One more spin, one more win!
Of course, one more chance to win!
Let's get those cat toys!
25 grand, anything but a Whammy.
And stop!
$4,000. All right.
All right. Love it!
Feeling good.
All right, well you have a decision to make.
Yeah. You can walk right now.
17,440 in the bank.
Yeah.
So you can walk away or you can stay and press your luck
in round three where the Big Bucks double up to $50,000.
Oh, my gosh!
What do you think, Colin? Press your luck.
I am pressing my luck!
Oh, yes, you are here to win, I can tell.
Oh, 100%
Well, I love when people decide to stay
because it means we get to add another prize to the board.
Show him. It's England.
Oh.
You and a guest flying to London for two weeks
where you will have center court seats for the men's and women's
Wimbledon semifinals.
While you're there, you can attend tapings
of popular British game shows
because you love game shows so much.
Me and my dad would bond over tennis.
And to be able to take him there
and just have this incredible experience with my dad
would just be insane.
And I love British game shows, too.
Let's go, put it up on the board.
You only have to take three spins.
All right.
This is round three. Come on. Come on.
Trip to England with my dad would be so cool.
Did I just see a murder mystery party?
Oh, my gosh, big bucks.
And stop!
2,600 in the bank.
All right, I love it. Love it.
Sky's the limit here, let's go.
Yeah. Thank you so much, Big Board,
for keeping those Whammies away!
Come on, Max, come on!
Big bucks, England, 50 grand.
And stop!
It's the 50 grand.
[ Both laughing ]
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Hi!
The biggest bucks on the board!
Whoo!
50K.
Oh, my goodness.
And you picked up a spin.
Do it again, let's go, Maximilianaire.
All right. 50 grand again, why not?
Cat stuff? Big bucks, big bucks.
And stop!
Ohh! No!
Thank you for giving me your money!
Look, it's not TV if there's not drama.
Oh, yeah.
But this big board
is filled with your dreams.
Yeah. And let's make them happen right now.
Here's your spin, here's your win!
Yeah. All right! Come on!
I still see taco run, I see England.
50 grand again would be great! Big bucks!
And stop!
What did I tell you?
[ Crowd cheering ]
What did I tell you?
What a roller coaster.
Go take what you want off this board
with this spin right now, get it!
Yeah. All right.
Come on, come on, keep it going, keep it going!
I see the taco run! Little kitty stuff!
Anything but a Whammy! 50 grand!
And stop!
Cat stuff!
Stuff for Tart!
It is worth how much for the bank?
Wow. $9,658.
Oh, my goodness.
Decision time. Yeah.
59,658 bucks.
You can walk away right now.
Or you can stay, press your luck, in round four
where the big bucks jump up to $75,000.
And, Maximilian, before you decide...
Yeah. I want to put
your final personalized prize up on the board.
Show him what it is.
It's two cars.
Oh, God.
And this is a cherry red Corvette convertible
and a Mazda3.
Tell me about these cars. Is that your dream car?
Me and my boyfriend, when we moved from Indiana to DC,
for me to be able to afford the down payment on our apartment,
I had to sell my car.
And it be so cool for me and my boyfriend to be twining.
[ Laughter ]
So that Mazda3 is for Colin?
Yeah, he wants the Mazda3.
I want the Mazda. I want the Corvette, so...
We'll drive together and we'll go,
"Honk, honk, hey, handsome.
Honk, honk, hey, sexy."
Well, you have a decision to make.
Yeah.
Are you going to walk away, or are you
going to stay and play round four and press your luck
so I can put that his and his cars up there?
[ Crowd chanting "Press your luck" ]
So, this is like a once- in-a-lifetime opportunity.
So I got to go for it, I'm going to press my luck.
He's going to stay and play!
And we are going to put the his and his cars
right up on the board for you Maximilian.
And not only that,
I can't have the Whammy having granny's flowers.
No. Come on!
We got to put the flowers for grandma back up on the board.
Yay! I love her.
You are going to have the time of your life
in this next round.
And you're going to play when "Press Your Luck"
comes back right after this. Don't go anywhere.
All right!
Welcome back, we are in round four of our Bonus Game.
Maximilian's got
59,658 bucks in the bank.
The Big Bucks are $75,000.
That's a lot.
You have two Whammies, but Lose A Whammy is also up there.
Oh, please. You're going to take three spins,
and they're all going to be wins,
and it's happening right now, take it away, Maximilian!
You got to make me a Maximilianaire!

and press your luck one final time in round five.
And if you decide to stay and play, the Big Bucks
are going to top out at a life-changing $100,000.
And don't forget,
we're bringing back the Big Bucks

You got $10,000, $25,000, $50,000,

What do you think, Maximilian?
Do you want to play in the Big Bucks Bonanza?
