Welcome to Game 23 of The Big Risk -- minus LeBron James. :) Some notes...
\ Our champ, Robert McBride, returns with one win and CY$28,477.
\ With this being Game 23, if you played in Game 20, 21 or 22, please sit on your hands and let someone else in on the fun. Can't remember when you last played? See www.dougmorris.net/tbr and click on archives.
...now it's on to our qualifying question. Two players closest to the right answer, high or low, play against Robert. The question...
On June 13, 2009, we watched a GSN rerun of "Whammy!: The All New Press Your Luck". This episode was originally part of the show's second season. The big bank went unclaimed in this episode. How much in cash in prizes was in the big bank by the episode's end?
(time passes)
Oh, those wascawwy whammies wacked up a bunch of woot.

Ugh, seeing that big a number brings back flashbacks of those "filler cartoons" seen in USA reruns of the original PYL. Ya know, the ones where the whammies meet to discuss just what they'll do with all the prizes and money they stole.
Before I have any more '80s flashbacks, let's see -- who's the closest?
Eddie Timanus $32,850
Wow, sharp shootin', Eddie. Only off by... uh... well, if I noted the precise difference, that might cause a '70s flashback. So let's just say -- Eddie's going to be Player 2. Player 3 shall be...
John Coday Hines $33,000
...John Hines. Thanks to everyone for getting in the game.
======================================================================Rich Jeffries: "Shaq vs. Godzilla" (audience laughs) will not be seen today -- so that we may bring you this monster replacement. ======================================================================
Rich: From CDM Enterprises, a division of Trax Productions, welcome to the game where you could win a million -- or lose your shirt. It's time to take -- The Big Risk.

Rich: And now, here's the star of our show, Doug Morris!
(Doug walks from behind The Big Risk board)
Doug: Thanks, Rich. Hellooooooooo, everybody. Welcome to The Big Risk. Delighted you're with us -- and also delighted D.J. Hamilton's come back from the dark side.
D.J.: You did have to bring that up. And, no, I don't want to talk about it.
Doug: Very well. She's over with the players. Tell us who's here for our little game.
D.J.: We have our challengers, John Coday Hines and Eddie Timanus. They're playing against Robert McBride. He's won one game and CY$28,477.
