"Episode 9" -
March 2
Last night, a shocker and a saver,
all in one, as Cindy Pridgen, playing for $2 million, closed a
deal on a $75 case for $407,000. Had she continued onto two more
cases, the deal would have been $1 million.
Meanwhile, Sherman Mitchell, a
single father who plans to use his winnings to start a group
home for troubled youths, holds #14 as he now plays for $2
million, rejecting a bank offer for $23,000. This is how the
board looked as we closed the last show...

Howie wants Sherman to take a
minute... so we take two and two. As a mentor and father, he has
to make big decisions like this all day, and he owes the
strength he has to make these decisions to his coach Moore. ...
who just so happens to be in the audience.
.. alongside Sherman's daughter,
Ashley. Coach Moore says "Only the strong survive." The team
says "Go all the way..." Sherman says No Deal. Three to open.

family says don't do it... Sherman's a player... NO DEAL.

He's got a landmine situation now
should he go on. He's only got a one in four chance of hitting
half a mill next... Sherman's thinking... Ashley's watching...

(Ingrid) |
Has to be anything but
half a million....

"Listen to your mama! Deal!" Ashley... disagrees! Sherman...
closes the case! One more to go... after the break... Break
over. Time to open. Remember, 33 percent chance at half a
mill...

Again, has to be anything
but half a million....

Mom says deal...
Frat brothers say ... soetming...
Sherman grazes the button...
He pushes it. Deal for $250,000!
But what was in his case? Case 14... "It's your lucky day!" Only
$300.
Who else is having a lucky day?
The board is reset, and the suitcases are back in play. New
player is... Becky Venable, a 28-year-old stay-at-home mom from
Oxford, CT... She has seven kids... and they're all here with
her husband. She needs a 15-passenger van.. Maybe a bus. Can $2
million buy a bus? Yes.. but these are seven kids we're talking
here! Let's give her a shot at $2.5 million! The board is also
changed to reflect this...

chance that Becky is a millionaire. She's going to need some

see what she decides, and to wrap up Deal or No Deal's big
jackpot week with a possible $3 million payoff.
