Episode 3.3
September 26
George Barnes made off with
$189,000 last week, which would be good, except that he had a million in
his case. Woops.
We'll get to tonight's
players, but first we go live to the vault where Howie has sent two
models to surprise a resident of Cottage Grove, OR. That person has just
won $1 million playing the Lucky Case game. That person ... Raleigh
Eugene Kitchens! Congrats, Raleigh!
Now let's play for realsies
in the studiosies. First player tonight is TIM KRAJEWSKI. He's a
third-grade teacher from Ft. Lauderdale, FL. He wants to take his family
on a cruise. So let's get cruising!
Howie makes mention of his
million dollar mission, and tonight, there are two Million Dollar Cases
in play. The second one replaces the $750,000. Is either in case #2?
Let's find out.
As always, we start
with six.

A little setback,

Tim is urged by his
loved ones to take the money... He can't say "no deal" to that.
DEAL for $180,000!
And it's a good thing he got
out when he did, because Ursula had the other million case. In Tim's
case...
GOOD DEAL!
Next up, it's CHARLENE
MIRANDA... and her kid, Aidan. "I'm gonna go tell the banker to take a
time-out." It's his fault that Charlene, a single mother from Boston, is
here today.
We play another $1 million
case in the place of the $500K. Aidan says that we're bringing 17 home.
Let's hope.
As always, we start
with six.

watching. |
