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 ]
Hello!
♪♪
Welcome to "Press Your Luck"!
Ooh, this is the game where anything can happen,
as long as you're willing to take big risks to win big bucks.
We've got three contestants tonight.
Let's go meet them.
[ Cheers and applause ]
He's a police officer from Phoenix, Arizona.
Everybody, it's Brandon!
[ Cheers and applause ]
And an event producer
from Long Beach, California,
say hello to Kawani!
[ Cheers and applause ]
And from Cleveland, Ohio,
please welcome Emily!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Good luck to you all tonight.
You are gonna get to 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 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 ]
Are you three ready to press your luck?
-Yes! -Yeah!
Alright!
You're gonna need to earn some spins
if you want a crack at the board.
I have three questions for this first round.
Mother of Olympia and sister of Venus,
what goddess of the tennis world --
Kawani?
Serena Williams.
...what goddess of the tennis world
has won a record 23 Grand Slam singles titles
in her professional career?
Kawani said Serena Williams.
Brandon, is it Serena Williams, Steffi Graf, Chris Evert?
-It's Serena Williams. -Serena Williams says Brandon.
Emily, what do you think?
Serena Williams.
Serena Williams, says all three of you.
You know, she also won the Elizabeth Banks title of GOAT --
greatest of all time!
And she is that person.
Kawani, great job. -Yeah!
That means Brandon picks up a spin.
Kawani's got three spins,
and Emily's on the board with a spin.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Question 2.
Rise and shine, America.
According to the most recent study
by the Edison Research Foundation,
what hour of the day do most Americans wake up?
Brandon?
Noon. Or...
Noon.
Lot of insight into Brandon's life right there, everybody.
[ Laughter ]
Lot of insight.
Kawani, noon, 7:00 a.m., 6:00 a.m.?
I'm gonna say 7:00 a.m.
Emily, what do you think?
I'll say 7:00 a.m.
So, we got noon...
[ Laughter ]
...7:00 and 7:00.
The actual answer is 6:00 a.m.
No spins are awarded.
Question 3.
According to a 1978 song by The Village People,
where is it fun --
Emily.
The YMCA.
...where is it fun to stay?
Emily says the YMCA.
Brandon, is it the YMCA, the Navy, on the Love Boat?
[ Laughter ]
The YMCA.
Kawani, what do you think?
The YMCA.
The YMCA is it!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Brandon, that means you pick up a spin,
Kawani picks up a spin, and Emily picks up three spins.
Whoo! Yeah!
And that is all the questions I have in this round.
Now you get a chance to turn those spins into cash
because it's time to take on the Big Board!
[ Cheers and applause ]
[ Contestants cheering ]
♪♪
Fun!
♪♪
-Yeah! -Yeah!
We've got thousands of dollars and plenty of prizes
on our Big Board tonight.
But beware of the Whammy.
[ Sour note plays ]
Not only will he empty your bank,
if you rack up four Whammies, you're out of the game.
Now, the player who ends this round with the most money
gets the advantage of playing last in Round 2.
So you will know exactly where you stand before you spin.
We ready to get to the game?
[ Contestants cheer ]
We start with the player who has the fewest spins,
and that's Brandon.
The board is yours.
Come on! No Whammies! No Whammies!
Big Bucks! No Whammies!
No Whammies! No Whammies!
Stop!
$1,500.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Now, Brandon, you can press your luck and spin again,
or you can pass your remaining spin to an opponent.
-Press your luck! -Elizabeth,
I only had two spins.
I'm gonna press my luck.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Come on! No Whammies! No Whammies!
Big Bucks! Let's get Big Bucks!
And stop!
-$2,600. -Whoo!
$4,100.
See what happens when you wake up and seize the day?
It's what happens when you work night shift, Elizabeth.
-[ Laughs ] -The noon -- The noon gets you.
[ Laughter ]
Kawani, four spins to take to the Big Board.
Are you ready?
I am so ready!
It's yours.
Alright, here we go!
Let's get it! Big Bucks!
Let's go! Goat yoga!
Yeah, I love some goat yoga! Let's get it!
Stop!
Add A One.
Aah! Are you kidding me?!
When you add a one to zero, you get $10.
Alright, alright, alright.
You get $10.
Three spins left.
Would you like to press your luck or pass?
I'm gonna press my luck.
Whoo! Let's do it!
Come on! Goat yoga!
I'm going to yoga! I'm going to Costa Rica!
Let's do this!
And stop!
$1,900!
Whoo! Yeah!
Alright! -$1,910 in the bank.
-Yeah. -Two spins left.
Press your luck or pass?
Alright, yes, I'm gonna press my luck.
Yes, she's gonna press it.
Let's do this!
Let's take the family to Costa Rica!
We want to see the animals there!
Let's do it! Big Bucks!
Big Bucks! Stop!
$1,900 again.
Doubled your money just then. $3,810.
Yes.
One final spin.
Would you like to press your luck or pass?
I'm gonna press my luck and play the game!
Let's do it! Big Bucks! Come on! Big Bucks!
Let's go on a trip to Nova Scotia!
Let's do this! Costa Rica!
Stop!
[ Sour note plays ]
Ohh!
Aah!

Looks like it's plugged with cash.
[ Grunting ]
[ Toilet flushes ]
Aaah! Blblblblbl!
[ Boing! ]
Hot tip -- don't hide your money in the toilet.
[ Laughter ]
Kawani, zero dollars in the bank,
no more spins left for you.
Emily, it's your turn.
Four spins on the Big Board.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Let's go!
Okay, I want a TV!
I want to go on a trip!
I don't want any Whammies!
Stop!
[ Sour note plays ]
I've come to take all your cash.
[ Screech! ]
What?!
You don't have any money?!
Well, this is awkward. [ Laughs ]
I'm so sorry, Emily.
But you know what? Maybe you got it out of your system.
-Yeah. -That's it, right?
-Yeah. -Okay, let's move on.
Whoo!
Would you like to press your luck?
I would love to press my luck and get some money!
Okay, let's go!
Let's go to Nova Scotia!
Let's get some Gucci watches!
Costa Rica!
Let's go! Stop!
Costa Rica!
[ Screaming ]
Oh, my gosh!
Whoo!
-Ohh! -Whoo!
This is a trip to Costa Rica.
Have you ever been to Costa Rica?
I've never even left the country, Elizabeth.
-Aah! -You've never left the country?
Emily, do you have a passport?
No!
You're gonna need a passport, Emily!
-Ohh! -She's gonna get a passport,
and she's also gonna put how much in the bank?
5,559 bucks.
-Whoo! -It's gonna be a fun trip.
Yeah.
You are now leading this round.
You have two spins left.
Do you want to press your luck or pass?
[ Audience shouting ]
I think if I pass to Brandon,
he might be able to catch up to me,
so I'm gonna press my luck one more time.
Press it one more time.
Okay. Let's go!
I want Big Bucks, please!
Please, no Whammies! Please, no Whammies!
Stop!
Whoo!
$2,000!
Whoo!
What do you think?
I'm gonna pass that spin over.
Pass it!
Whenever you pass your spins,
they go to the opponent with the most money,
and that's you, Brandon.
That spin is one you have to take.
Let's do it, Elizabeth.
Come on! No Whammies! No Whammies!
Big bucks! Big bucks!
No Whammies! No Whammies! No Whammies!
And stop!
Whoo!
It's the Big Bucks!
-Yeah! -$5,000!
Whoo!
Oh, Emily!
It's okay.
That is the end of Round 1.
Kawani ended the round with zero dollars.
Emily in second place -- $7,559 and a Whammy.
Brandon just hit the Big Bucks.
9,100 bucks in the bank.
And when we return, we've got more questions and more spins
right here on "Press Your Luck."
So, please, don't go anywhere.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
Now, before we jump into Round 2,
let's learn a little bit more about you all.
Brandon, you're from Phoenix, yes?
I am. Yes.
Tell me a little bit about yourself.
I am currently in law enforcement.
I'm going on my sixth year.
I love going to the schools around, being with the kids.
Love being around the community, going to community events,
and just love everybody I work with, so...
[ Cheers and applause ]
Round of applause!
What do you do when you're not policing?
I am with my beautiful wife, who I've been with --
married 3 years, been with her for 14 years.
-14 years?! -Yes!
High -- -Married three?
What took you so long?
I needed to make sure I was ready.
-Okay. -No. [ Laughs ]
You guys got any kids?
We just had our baby.
She's 10 months old, so...
You have a 10-month-old?!
-Yes. -Congrats!
Yes, so, the bags -- the bags are finally going away.
She's getting a little bit of sleep.
She's sleeping in now. So it's good. It's fun.
I love every minute of it, so...
Oh, yeah, it's the best.
Congratulations on the baby.
And thanks for being here tonight.
Thank you.
Thank you, Elizabeth.
Kawani, you're from Long Beach, California, right?
I am. I'm from Long Beach.
And what do you do there?
My family and I, we run a nonprofit,
and we feed our brothers and sisters in need healthy meals.
Have you always done that?
I used to be in the Air Force.
I was in the Air Force for five years.
Wow! Thank you for your service!
Well, I'm glad you're here, Kawani.
Thank you!
And Emily from Cleveland!
Hi! Whoo! Cleveland!
Tell me about yourself.
So, I just graduated from The Ohio State University!
-Congrats. -Go, Buckeyes!
And I actually just turned down
a job to work for a big oil company
to work for a major beer company.
[ Laughter ]
I don't even like beer that much,
but once I went there and tasted the beer
fresh out of the brewery, I was sold.
So, yeah, that's what I'm gonna do.
[ Laughs ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
A Buckeye who loves beer.
And are you a fan of the show?
So, I'm a huge fan of the show.
When I was a little girl, I used to sit in the basement
like a little weirdo and just watch reruns
of a bunch of '80s game shows.
And "Press Your Luck" was my favorite
because I would wait for the Whammy
'cause it did the funniest little things
to take people's money away.
But today I really need the Whammy to stay away, so...
I get it. I don't blame you.
I love the little weirdo in the basement
is here tonight to play her favorite game.
Yes! [ Laughs ] Whoo!
Good luck to all of you. Thank you all for being here.
It's time for Round 2.
[ Cheers and applause ]
I've got four questions this time.
And here we go.
In a hard-hitting bit of journalism,
USA Today listed the 50 most popular
movie villains of all time.
What telekinetic mouth breather topped the list?
Emily.
Darth Vader?
Emily says it's Darth Vader.
Brandon, is it Darth Vader, Freddy Krueger, Hannibal Lecter?
Elizabeth, it's Darth Vader.
What do you think, Kawani?
I'm gonna go with Darth Vader.
You're all correct!
[ Cheers and applause ]
That means Brandon picks up a spin,
Kawani picks up a spin, and, Emily...
-Whoo! -...three spins for you.
Personally, I voted for
Glenn Close in "Fatal Attraction."
Alright, Question 2.
If Wiz Khalifa had the average amount
of wisdom teeth for adults in his mouth,
how many wisdom teeth would Wiz Khalifa have?
[ Laughter ]
Emily.
Four?
Emily says four.
Brandon, is it four, two, six?
Elizabeth, four.
What do you think, Kawani?
I'm gonna go with four.
Can anyone else say, "How many wisdom teeth
would Wiz Khalifa have in his mouth?" 10 times fast?
No? No? Just me?
It's four. That's the answer.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Very excited for everybody
because that means Brandon picked up another spin,
Kawani picked up a spin,
and Emily picked up three more spins.
Whoo! Let's go!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Elizabeth: Question 3.
Since going viral on YouTube,
the song "Baby Shark" has been haunting
the dreams of parents everywhere.
[ Laughter ]
Don't worry. I'm not gonna sing it.
But I do want to know --
what three-letter word is used to refer to a shark's baby?
[ Buzzer ]
Ooh!
Alright, because nobody buzzed in,
I'm gonna give you three answers to choose from.
Anybody who gets the correct answer will get one spin.
Here we go.
What three-letter word is used to refer to a shark's baby?
Brandon, is it cub, pup, fin?
Elizabeth, pup.
What do you think, Kawani?
I think pup.
And, Emily?
I'll say pup.
That's three pups.
And that's three winners.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Brandon picks up a spin,
Kawani gets a spin,
Emily added another spin.
Question 4, and our last chance to win spins
to take to the Big Board.
Here we go.
If the Whammy won a Grammy, polished it with a chamois,
kissed his girlfriend, Tammy,
then celebrated with a sammie called "Moons Over My Hammy,"
at what restaurant chain would he be dining?
Kawani?
Denny's.
Kawani says Denny's.
Brandon, is it Denny's, Waffle House, IHOP?
Elizabeth, I'm gonna go with Waffle House.
What do you think, Emily?
I'll say Denny's.
The answer's Denny's.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Brandon, no spins for you.
Kawani, three spins for you...
-Whoo! -...bringing your total to six.
And, Emily, you're gonna end the round with eight big spins!
-Whoo! -That's all the questions
we have in this round, and let's take these big spins
to the Big Board.
Here we go!
[ Contestants cheering ]
Let's do this! Let's do this!
Whoo!
It's Round 2, so we're doubling the Big Bucks to $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 Round,
where they could win $1 million.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Kawani, you have the least amount of money in your bank,
which means you are going to spin first.
Are you ready? -Yes, I'm ready.
Let's get it. -Take it away.
Yes! Let's go! Let's go!
Let's do this! Big Bucks, Big Bucks!
Stop!
-$4,000! -Whoo!
Five spins.
Yes.
Do you want to keep pressing your luck,
or would you like to pass those spins?
Oh, no, I got a lot of game to play.
Let's do this. I'm gonna press my luck!
Let's press it!
$10,000! Let's do it! Let's do it!
Stop!
$2,750 and a spin.
Whoo!
You now have $6,750.

I see a trip to the West Indies!
I see a Mustang for my husband! Let's do it!
And stop!
Ohh!
$8,000 and a spin!
You just took the lead, Kawani.
How you feeling?
I'm feeling great.
I'm feeling good.
Press your luck or pass?
At this point, I'm gonna keep going and press my luck!
Let's do this!
$10,000! Come on!
I need that Mustang! Let's get it!
Let's go to Prague! Let's do it!
Big Bucks! Stop!
Move Two Spaces. That's $4,750.
You now lead by more than $10,000.
Four spins.
Yes, Elizabeth.
Have not met the Whammy in this round yet.
I'mma go one more time.
Whoo!
It's meant to be!
It's meant for me!
Let's do this!
It's meant to be! Let's get a trip!
Let's get a Mustang! Let's get Big Bucks!
Stop!
[ Cheers and applause ]
$6,000 and a spin.
Kawani, you said it was meant to be.
It's meant for me.
$25,500.
You got a big lead -- 16,400 bucks.
I'm gonna go ahead and pass those spins.
They're getting passed. They're going to you, Brandon.
Emily is gonna spin right after this,
when we come back.
More "Press Your Luck" coming up.
[ Cheers and applause ]
So crazy!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
Whoo! It's an exciting night.
Emily, you have $7,559 in the bank.
Brandon has $9,100.
Kawani, the big winner so far --
$25,500 in the bank, but she is done spinning.
Emily, are you ready to take a turn at the Big Board?
I'm ready, Elizabeth! Let's go!
Whoo! Okay, I need no Whammies!
I need to catch up! I need some big bucks, or maybe a Mustang!

So I got to pass them over to Kawani.

If you hit a Whammy,
Brandon is going on to the Bonus Round,
where he gets a chance to win a million bucks.
If you don't hit a Whammy,
you're going to the Bonus Game for a million bucks.
[ Cheers and applause ]
[ Screams ]
This is the spin for the win.
Take it, Emily.
Let's go!
Please, please, no Whammies!
Please! Please!
Stop!
Yeah!
[ Sour note plays ]
Whoo!
[ Screams ]
Brandon survives!
He's the big winner with $24,729, which is his to keep.
Sadly, we need to say goodbye to Kawani.
An amazing game.
Emily, I hope this experience lived up to your dream.
It was amazing. I loved it so much.
I had a -- I had a blast. -Thank you, guys.
Come on back for the "Press Your Luck" Bonus Game,
where Brandon's gonna play for up to $1 million.
This is so exciting.
I don't know how you could go anywhere.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
So far tonight, Brandon...
Whoo!
...has won cash and prizes
totaling $24,729.
Alright, that is all yours,
no matter what else happens tonight.
But now...
[ Cheers and applause ]
...it's just you versus the Big Board, Brandon.
And you could go home tonight a millionaire.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And we've got some great people here supporting you tonight...
Yes.
...as you face off against the Big Board.
Introduce me.
I have my lovely wife, Tanna.
Hi, Tanna!
Hi.
She's been my biggest inspiration.
We've been married three years, together since high school --
the football-cheerleader relationship.
-Wow. -So...
-Aww! -[ Laughs ]
I got my father, David Lewis.
Hi, David!
[ Cheers and applause ]
He's been a big hero of mine.
He's also a police officer.
He's the one that got me inspired to be a police officer.
Oh, wow.
So, you followed in your dad's footsteps.
Yes.
Yes, and he's actually been on the force for 38 years, so...
Amazing!
And then I have my lovely mother, Ardene Lewis.
Hi, Ardene! Welcome.
Good luck to you all tonight.
Now, you are gonna face off
against the Whammy over five rounds.
At the end of each round,
you can take whatever money you've made and walk away,
or you can press your luck and play on.
The longer you stay in the game,
the bigger the money on the board gets.
If you make it to the final round, our Big Bucks Bonanza...
[ Exhales ]
...one spin could be worth $100,000!
Whoo! Yeah! Whoo!
Come on, Brandon!
But there are still Whammies out there.
No Whammies.
If you hit one, he takes all your money, all your prizes,
sends your bank back down to zero,
and four Whammies, you're out of the game.
Now, if your bank ever reaches $500,000 in this Bonus Game,
you're going home a millionaire.
Whoo!
We automatically bump those winnings right up
to a million bucks. -Come on!
In the first round of the Bonus Game,
Big Bucks are worth $10,000!
[ Cheers and applause ]
But there's more than just cash up on the Big Board.
We at "Press Your Luck" love to personalize the Bonus Game,
and we have some personalized prizes just for you.
I'm ready.
Let's see the first one.
Diapers! -Yeah!
Yeah! [ Laughs ]
Five years of organic, chlorine-free diapers...
-Oh, my goodness. -...and wipes for your family.
Five years.
You think your 10-month-old will be in diapers in five years?
Are you planning to have more kids?
Elizabeth, my wife and I argue all the time.
I want three kids. She wants two kids.
Eventually, we're gonna figure out a number.
-[ Laughs ] -But there's gonna be more kids
to come, and we realize, you know, diapers --
they go so fast. -Yes.
So this would be a huge advantage
to my wife and I, so... -Great.
Well, let's throw those diapers onto the board.
Whoo!
And let's see what else we have in store for Brandon.
Oh!
[ Cheers and applause ]
"Home Alone 2" Trip to New York!
Ohh!
This is four nights in a suite at the Plaza Hotel
in New York City... -Yes! Hoo-hoo!
...where you will have butler service...
Oh, my gosh!
...room service, and you will take a tour
of the iconic locations... -Ohh.
...from the movie "Home Alone 2," which --
Whoo! Oh, my Lord!
"Home Alone 2"?
Elizabeth, this has been my favorite movie as a kid.
I watch "Home Alone 2" all the time,
and just seeing him go in that Plaza Hotel --
[Laughing] I thought it was the coolest thing ever,
with the room service, the big room,
and it's always been a dream to visit New York and stay there,
so... -Wow! Alright!
Well, let's put the "Home Alone 2" Trip on the board.
Should we get to the game?
Yes, let's do it!
You are starting off with five spins in the pot.
Start building that bank.
-Let's do it, Elizabeth. -Get that trip to New York.
-Let's do it, Elizabeth. -Good luck, Brandon.
Come on! No Whammies! Let's get that trip!
No Whammies! No Whammies!

This is a decision.
$3,500 or a new Vespa.
I think I'm gonna go with the Vespa.
He's gonna take the Vespa.
I'm gonna take the Vespa.
-Whoo! -Is it worth more than $3,500?
-Whoo! -It's worth $4,099.
Good decision. $26,982 in the bank.
You made it through Round 1 of the Bonus Game.
Ohh!
Whoo!
So, if you want, you can just walk away.
Or, in Round 2,
the Big Bucks jump up to $25,000.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And you only have to take four spins.
What do you think?
Elizabeth, there's a lot of game left to play.
I have no Whammies. I've been doing good so far.
So I think I'm gonna press my luck!
He wants to press his luck!
-Whoo! -Yeah, Brandon! Let's go!
I love it when people stay to play
because it means I get to put another prize
just for you on the board.
Show Brandon what it is.
It's a wakeboard boat! -Whoo! Whoo-hoo!
Oh, yes!
Tell me about the wakeboard boat.
My boat.
Elizabeth, this --
Oh, your dad said, "It's my boat."
-[ Laughs ] -My boat!
-Ohh! -My boat!
This is more for the entire family.
Yes.
We love going to the lake and just hanging out, so...
-Yes, of course. -Whoo!
Family fun on the wakeboard boat.
Put it on the board for Brandon.
Whoo!
Alright, you only have to take four spins in Round 2.
And you are gonna take those spins
when "Press Your Luck" returns right after this.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Welcome back to "Press Your Luck."
We've had such an exciting night.
It's Round 2 of the Bonus Game,
and Brandon now has $26,982 in the bank.

[ Sour note plays ]
[ Audience groans ]
We got your cheese,
pepperoni, tomato sauce.
[ Splat! ]
Oh, man! How about some spaghetti?
Alright, Brandon. It's only one. Let's go.
Ohh. I know you lost a bunch of money.
Ohh.
But I think I'm most upset
you lost the Vespa and the diapers!
I know.
[ Audience groans ]
-Ohh. -Here's the thing.
You still have a spin in this round.
[ Exhales ]
Use it to win the Big Bucks right now.
Let's do it. Let's do it. Come on!

[ Grunting ]
[ Laughs ]
Aah!
[ Boing! ]
David: It's alright. Let's go. We got two more rounds.
A new round. New round!
I know that that is a super bummer.
You finished that round with zero dollars and two Whammies.
The good news is, in Round 3,
we double the Big Bucks to $50,000.
Yeah! Come on, Brandon! One spin! One spin!
Whoo!
And I feel like now is a good time to reveal
one more prize just for you, Brandon.
It's a European brewery tour.
-Whoo! Hoo-hoo! -Okay.
Yes!
I'm going on that one.
Yeah, okay.
Three weeks in Europe...
Yes!
...where you will visit the Guinness Brewery in Dublin.
You take a private tour of pubs in London.
You spend a week touring Belgium.
Oh, my God.
And you finish at Oktoberfest in Munich!
Whoo!
Whoa!
Whoo!
You and your wife love beer.
Yes, we love beer.
We love dark beer. We love Guinness.
It's something we've always wanted to do,
something to get away and just do a trip, so...
-Oh, I hope you win it. -Yes.
Round 3. Big Bucks...
-Let's do it. -...worth 50 grand.
You have to take three spins.
Good luck.
Big Bucks! No Whammies! No Whammies! No Whammies!
Stop!
[ Sour note plays ]
Oh, God!
[ Laughs ]
[ Gong bangs ]
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
It's coming to me now. -Aah. Aah.
I see financial disaster in your future.
[ Poof! ]
[ Boing! ]
Wow. Alright, you have three Whammies.
If you get four Whammies, the game is over.
Now, can you do me a favor?
Can you win it all right now?!
-Let's do it! -Yeah!
Let's do it! Come on! No Whammies!
-No Whammies! -Big Bucks! No Whammies!
No Whammies!
And...stop!
It's the Big Bucks!

No Whammy! No Whammy!
Let's get that trip! No Whammies!
And...stop!
Whoo! -$5,500.
-Whoo! -Yeah!
He's back. You're feeling it.
Oh!
$55,000 at the end of Round 3.
You can walk away right now.
You have three Whammies.
One more Whammy, the game is done.
Or, in Round 4,
the Big Bucks jump up to $75,000.
So let's show Brandon the last prize
we have picked out just for him.
[ Audience murmuring excitedly ]
1969 vintage Camaro.
Oh, man!
I can feel it. This is a very emotional prize for you.
What does this Camaro mean to you?
Elizabeth, growing up, my mom has always had Camaros.
It's been something that's been in the family forever.
My grandfather had one.
It's always been a dream of mine
[Laughing] and I've always wanted one, and this is a killer.
[ Both laugh ]
[ Groans ]
Do you need to talk to your family about it?
Actually, no, I think I got -- I think I made up my mind.
Oh, he's made up his mind.
I made up my mind.
$55,000,
plus the $20,000 I made
is a lot of money for my family.
It's money that I would love to have and spend with my family.
So I think I'm gonna walk away with the $55,000.
-Yeah! -Yeah!
[ Cheers and applause ]
[ Laughs ]
Yeah!
Brandon has decided to call it quits.
He's walking away with all the cash and prizes
in your bank right now.
Neil, remind us everything that Brandon has won tonight.
Congratulations, Brandon!
You won a Segway... -Whoo!
...plus $74,100 in cash...
Whoo!
...bringing your grand total to $80,229 in cash and prizes!
[ Cheers and applause ]
[ Laughs ] Ohh!
♪♪
What an emotional game.
"Press Your Luck" -- I love this show.
I hope you do, too.
Come back and see us again next time.
Whoo!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Beautiful! You guys!
You okay?
It's so emotional.
You were -- You knew. You were like --
Ohh!
Yes!
That was -- [ Laughs ]
