I was bored so I decided to torture myself with some more Press Your Luck, but this time I’m contestant #1 challenging against two new contestants named Jessica and Finn:

That means I get to play last in the final round of this game. Jessica is in second place with $1,850 and one Whammy, and Finn is in third with no money and one Whammy. Therefore; Finn plays first with 8 spins, then Jessica will play second with 5 spins. Here’s what they got so far in the final round:

Luckily for me, I managed to avoid getting a single Whammy and used up all four of my spins to stop at a couple cash values and a few prizes including a trip to the Fiji Islands and an African Safari. Hooray!

Not only did I win again, I’m finally in the Press Your Luck Hall of Fame!

All these prizes total $12,262 combined with $4,450 in cash along with $8,300 that I’ve won previously gives me a grand total of $25,012! That was fun but man, I still wish all this money was real. 🙂

Last night I was playing an old computer game called Press Your Luck, which is based on an old game show starring Peter Tomarken. Here’s a screenshot of the gameplay:

As you can see, there’s lots of cash and prizes on the board, also some Whammies which will take all your money away. I was playing as Contestant #2 against two computer players in this computer game.

I managed to avoid hitting a single Whammy throughout the whole game and got a dastardly close victory with $8,300 in cash because Olivia picked up $500 + an extra spin, a Mexican cruise valued at $3,976, and a Heritage Tour valued at $2,634 which that wasn’t enough for her to win the game.

Yeah, it’s good to be the champion of this computer game. I just wish all that cash I’ve won was real because that’d be nice. 🙂
