Press Your Luck

[@schmolik1]

Amazing episode!

[@GamingFanactic911]

there were so many prizes to list that they ran out of time to say goodbye to the players. :O :)

[@jnadle1]

And Rod could barely get through signing off without wheezing from so many prize descriptions.

[@PowerRangersandAnimeUnite]

Or to show the credits.

[@kmeo106]

GamingFanactic911 Yes going into the commercial outros were very short. . . . . .which usually meant longer rounds

[@Ian16545]

If you thought *that* was too much to bear, wait till you hear about the taxes Becky had to pay for 'em.

[@NickCMedia]

@@Ian16545 The $16,200 in cash she won was more than enough to cover the taxes.

[@mikecaputo3674]

$57,821 was between the two at the end and neither one had a whammy! Great ending!

[@jomar500]

You can tell that Rod Roddy had quite a mouthful when he described all those prizes she won! I think this was the only time a contestant won a record-breaking 8 prizes on the show in a single episode, including five trips.

[@GameShowMike]

Aired on 18 May 1984, the day before the Larson episodes were taped.

[@GamingFanactic911]

+GameShowMike how ironic since this game was crazy

[@ENTERTAINMENT35]

GameShowMike how many episodes did they tape in a day back then? I thought they would at least do 5/a weeks worth in 1 day. guess tgey did more then

[@RedStrikerBeetleborg]

and i believe it wasn't long before susan veats played

[@MGAF688]

That episode was insane.

[@markheying2830]

And Becky claps her hands while Becky has her Clapping Hands as her winning her Cash & Prizes together Teammates of her winning her Cash & Prizes together Team!

12:00 soundbite used in a PYL pc game i used to play

[@JonesDylan874]

Curt King's game, I presume?

[@revinevan87]

@@JonesDylan874 rings a bell

[@jpjoshua7]

Tons of edits! Such little time! Great episode!

[@davidduncan1362]

Becky should come to Elizabeth Banks' Press Your Luck. She was the $33,000 single day champion when the show was hosted by Peter Tomarken. Can she break the bank again when Elizabeth Banks is the star of the show?

[@sirharry13]

$24,411 has to be the highest amount to finish the game with in a loss...I wonder if Paul passed to Becky when he did possibly because he knew that if Becky whammied, he would still get to play again as he was under the $25,000 limit....

[@JoeyLamontagne]

Don’t forget that David had $17k before the whammy. They pretty much had about $75k hit in round 2

[@CBA-h9l]

This is blowing my mind!

[@dewayneburtonii5360]

Peter say goodbye on press your luck

[@VincesArtDesigns]

I think this is more exciting then the Larson episode!

[@taofanarchy96-renzomaracas14]

21:01 _200 MPH Tomarkien._

[@revinevan87]

I remember watching early in the morning and waking my mom with my cheering.

[@j26fremont]

Wow, if she would have waited one more square on here last 3 spins before passing to Paul, she would have had $5K+spin each time in that pattern.

[@jameshess9757]

Five trips! Man, I wish that were me!

[@M200XL]

There was an unedited version up here at one point.

[@cooldude2255]

Where is it?

[@TripSoul10]

We had a $10700 Michael Jackson concert & a $17495 lawn mowing bill.

[@danbarker4857]

Oddly enough, Michael broke the bank 3 weeks later.

[@seanadams3551]

When this episode airs on TV I always change the channel cause the prize read at the end is too exhausting to listen too.

[@robymyers5026]

It was just as exciting at the end on NBC Version of Card Sharks, hosted by Jim Perry at the time, on November 1, 1978, Norma Brown went all the way in the most exciting Money Cards Round, and doubled her way up to the maximum amount of money possible, which was at the time: $28,800! Jim Perry: NOTHING OR $28,800; Yes! SHE BROKE THE BANK, EVERYTHING!!!!!!! Norma Brown got to return on the next show because NBC did not have a "Money Limit". NBC rules said that champions on Card Sharks can play up to 7 matches/ 7 Money Cards Round!!!

[@ChristianLakhan]

best PRESS YOUR LUCK episode ...ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@cowscrazy]

Peter thinks this is a lot of money... Just wait till the next set of recordings

[@skaterlyfestyle9107]

17:49 you broke the bank Until Michael Larson

[@danbarker4857]

Did they figure out the pattern?

[@mikesoct82484]

I think paul figured out the 2,4,12,8 pattern

[@mikesoct82484]

+mike hedrick I meant 17

[@jonbateman80]

Dan Barker The pattern Larson used was 2 12 1 9 4

[@onnapnewo]

jonbateman80 There were five patterns Larson used. 2-12-1-9-4 is the only one mentioned in the GSN special but there’s also 2-4-12-17-8 as Mike Hedrick mentioned above, as well as 2-9-17-8 (both landing in the 500/750/1000+one spin square), 2-13-17-7-4, and a fifth one that doesn’t really use 2 as a trigger point, which leads to square 4 for 3000/4000/5000+one spin.

[@CBA-h9l]

🙈🙉🙊😼

[@crgray1979]

Was this the highest win total before Michael

[@sirharry13]

The highest one day total...A few people won more than Becky, but they needed at least two shows to do it.

[@richardcleveland7789]

David has the worst wig ever
