Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Michael Larson

Michael Larson came onto peoples' televisions on June 8, 1984 to surprise everyone getting more big bucks than anyone on "Press Your Luck". He discovered the 5 patterns after looking at the lights on the big board over and over again and figured out there was a pattern. He went on to the show to win $110237 in cash and prizes. His competitors were Ed Long and Janie Litras.

Answer: Cathy Singer

Cathy Singer and Lori Moran fought in a spin battle until Cathy lost the spin along with all the cash and prizes. Lori eventually won with $24685.

Beverlie Peters was in Lori's second show and won $6800 in cash and a video recorder.

Becky Steeler came onto "Press Your Luck" and won $33410 in one day.

Answer: $20414

Adele has spun her spins up to $20414 without hitting a whammy. She has gone 16 spins without hitting one and won $28933 on the show.

4. More master trivia. Take it from me, the answer is not $31407, but what was the second highest amount of money ever lost on the show?

Answer: $30518

A man named Robert came on the show twice in two years due to a technical problem. He won $4000 in his December shows and lost $30518 on April 1st on the last spin. His competitors in his last show were Kate and Bob.

Answer: $104950

A lot of money to win. If you got the right answer and did the math, you would hopefully figure out he had $5287 in prizes. That included a sailboat, a trip to Kauai, and a trip to the Bahamas.

Answer: $2500

In 1984, the color of $2500 was green and when the board had neon lights, $2500 was blue. Hopefully you got it right and you got a spin for our board.

Answer: $1500

On "Press Your Luck", the three squares in square 4 in round 1 are $1500, $1000, and $1250. In 1983, the highest amount was $1250 because $1500 was originally $750.

8. You definitely want to go on. Cheerful, you yell stop. The space you hit puts you into five figures! What is this special space you hit?

Answer: Add-A-One

Add-A-One premiered in 1985 and it can turn $1000 to $11000, $100 to $1100, and $0 to $10. In the first six days of its creation, it has been hit four times. It is a square that only appears once. So once you hit it, it's gone.

9. It's the end of round 1 and you have a lot of money! It's time for one last master trivia question. How much was a Mediterranean Cruise in March 1985?

Answer: $6298

In March, the Mediterranean Cruise was on square 15. It was the second most valuable prize during that time.

10. Finally, you go to round 2 and you have 1 spin passed to you. You take it and hit the only space in pink with a spin. How much cash did you get?

Answer: $1500

After the neon lights came, $1500 and a spin was red. $1500 and a spin only appeared on the board once.
