Ep 5. Episode 5

Press Your Luck is an American television game show that first aired in 1983. The show revolves around three contestants who compete against each other in a game of strategy and luck in order to win cash and prizes. In each round, contestants take turns spinning a game board filled with prizes, cash, and "Whammys" - cartoon characters that take away all of a contestant's winnings. The goal is to maximize winnings while avoiding the Whammys.

In season 1, episode 5, titled "Episode 5," the contestants face off once again in the high-stakes game of Press Your Luck. Host Elizabeth Banks greets the contestants and explains the rules of the game. The first round begins, and the contestants anxiously spin the board in hopes of landing on a big prize or cash amount. There are also a few Whammys on the board, so the contestants have to be careful not to land on them.

The first contestant is a stay-at-home mom from Colorado named Ashley. She spins the board and lands on a Caribbean vacation worth $6,500. The next contestant is a software engineer from California named Michael. He also lands on a vacation, but his is to Hawaii and worth $4,000. The final contestant is a student from Ohio named Tyler. He lands on $2,500 cash and takes an early lead.

The second round begins, and the stakes get higher. The board is filled with more valuable prizes and cash amounts, but there are also more Whammys. Ashley goes first and lands on a new car worth $25,000. Michael is up next and lands on a cash amount of $10,000. Tyler takes his turn and lands on a Whammy, losing his cash winnings and putting him at a disadvantage.

The third and final round is the most intense. The board is filled with even bigger prizes and cash amounts, but there are also more Whammys than ever before. Ashley goes first and lands on a home theater system worth $8,000. Michael is up next and lands on a cash amount of $15,000. Tyler, determined to make a comeback, spins the board and lands on a motorcycle worth $10,000.

As the round continues, the tension builds. Ashley lands on a trip to Europe worth $12,000, bringing her total winnings to $26,500. Michael lands on a trip to Japan worth $20,000, putting him in the lead with $35,000 in total winnings. Tyler spins the board and lands on a Whammy, ending his hopes of winning the game.

The final moments of the game are filled with suspense as Ashley and Michael battle it out for the top prize. Ashley lands on a cash amount of $5,000, bringing her total winnings to $31,500. Michael spins the board and lands on a trip around the world worth $50,000, bringing his total winnings to a whopping $85,000.
